MENU PLACES PEOPLE PARTNERS PERFORMANCE PERFORMANCE (ENVIRONMENT) (ECONOMIC) Partnering with a Brewery to Save Bread – and Make Beer! EAST Hong Kong has partnered with a local craft brewery in Hong Kong to take leftover fresh- baked goods from the hotel’s Domain Café and use it to make lager beer. After the surplus bread is collected and delivered to the brewery, it is blended into crumbs and used to replace a portion of barley malt. Following a two-month fermentation process, the leftover breadcrumbs and grains are then sent to a local farm to be used as animal feed and fertiliser, promoting the idea of circularity. This arrangement has saved approximately 40kg of surplus bread from going to landfill. Performance (Environment) Hotel Sustainability Technical Guidelines In 2022, we rolled out new Hotel Sustainability Technical Guidelines. These incorporate Swire Hotels’ sustainability aspirations and vision, starting from the design and construction of new developments to the hotel operations stage. The guidelines encourage teams to collaborate, innovate and create opportunities that will advance our sustainability performance locally and globally across our portfolio in several aspects: • Sustainable hotel certification • Building management systems and submetering • Energy efficiency • Water efficiency • Indoor environmental quality • Management for circularity • Sustainable transport • Interior finishes and materials SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT REPORT 2022 42
