To address this challenge, we identify opportunities to reduce waste generation and enhance recycling efforts before diverting materials to end-of-life waste streams. By practising effective waste management, we can minimise our environmental impact while also improving our operational efficiency, leading to significant cost savings. With improved waste data gaps and coverage across our portfolio, we are better positioned to work with our operators on targeted approaches to sharpen our tracking, reduce waste and increase recycling. Our Actions and Progress GRI 306-2, 306-3, 306-4, 306-5 Approximately 400 million tonnes of plastic waste is generated globally each year, contributing significantly to pollution on land and in our oceans due to improper disposal5. At FHT, we recognise that we can reduce unsustainable plastic consumption and disposal by eliminating the use of singleuse plastics. All FH-managed properties in our portfolio have successfully phased out single-use plastics across various operations, including food and beverage services, laundry and bathroom amenities. Additionally, Fraser Suites Singapore has collaborated with World Wildlife Fund Singapore to further its Plastic ACTion initiative, working towards transitioning to 100% reusable or at least 50% recyclable packaging design models by 2025. Fraser Suites Singapore will also support research projects and innovation efforts focused on improving plastics and recycling infrastructure. We collected waste data from 12 properties in our portfolio, ensuring all waste was handled by licensed collectors and directed to municipal waste streams. In FY2024, our total waste generation reached 2,760 tonnes, with a waste intensity of 3.06 kg per occupied room night, marking a 8.1% decrease in waste intensity. Additionally, of the total waste generated, 435 tonnes were successfully recycled, with the remainder sent to landfill or incineration. The total waste recycled in FY2024 is 7.1% higher than in FY2023, reflecting FHT’s commitment to enhancing its waste recycling efforts. 1,860 2,890 2,760 358 406 435 3.06 3.33 2.86 15.7 14.0 19.2 5 Visual Feature | Beat Plastic Pollution (unep.org) ESG Report 2024 19
