ABOUT THE COVER The theme “The Kind Host — Mindful Hospitality in Action” reflects Filinvest Hospitality’s journey from intention to execution—bringing our sustainability commitments to life through purposeful and responsible hospitality. The concept of the Kind Host embodies our evolving role: not only as a provider of exceptional guest experiences, but as a steward of the environments and communities where we operate. It represents our commitment to extend hospitality beyond hotel walls—ensuring that kindness is experienced by all stakeholders, from guests and employees to business partners, communities, and the natural environment.

Visually, the cover symbolizes connection and balance—highlighting the interconnected relationships between people, places, and purpose. It captures how each interaction, decision, and initiative contributes to a broader ecosystem of shared value and responsible growth. In 2025, mindful hospitality is no longer just a guiding principle—it is reflected in how we design our programs, manage our resources, and deliver our services. The cover affirms our commitment to lead with empathy, act with responsibility, and create lasting positive impact.

ABOUT THE REPORT This Sustainability Report presents Filinvest Hospitality’s Environmental, Economic, Social, and Governance (EESG) performance for the period of January 1 to December 31, 2025. It builds on the foundations established in our previous reports, reflecting our continued evolution from defining our sustainability pillars to embedding them more deeply into our operations and decision-making processes. Guided by our core philosophy of mindful hospitality, this year’s report highlights how we have translated purpose into action—advancing initiatives that create measurable value for our stakeholders while reinforcing long-term resilience across the business. Our disclosures are anchored on topics that are most material to our stakeholders and operations.

The report captures our performance across key focus areas—service excellence, inclusive growth, environmental responsibility, and business resilience—demonstrating how these pillars continue to guide our strategy and execution. Prepared in alignment with recognized sustainability frameworks, including the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards and relevant industry references, this report reflects our commitment to transparency, accountability, and continuous improvement. More importantly, this report goes beyond documentation. It underscores our shift toward a more integrated approach—where sustainability is not a parallel initiative, but a core driver of how we operate, make decisions, and create shared value for our people, partners, communities, and the environment.

MESSAGE FROM THE LEADERS

To our dear stakeholders,

At Filinvest Hospitality, we believe that true success is defined not only by what we achieve, but by how we achieve it—through responsible decisions, disciplined execution, and meaningful impact on the people, communities, and environments we serve.

Our 2025 Sustainability Report,“The Kind Host — Mindful Hospitality in Action,” reflects this belief in practice. It marks our shift from articulating our sustainability commitments to embedding them into how we operate, make decisions, and deliver value every day. FRANCIS GOTIANUN Chief Executive Officer Filinvest Hospitality Being a Kind Host means going beyond providing excellent guest experiences. It means taking responsibility for our broader impact—how we manage our resources, support our people, collaborate with partners, and contribute to the communities where we operate. It is about ensuring that every action we take creates value that is not only measurable, but also sustainable and inclusive.

F i l i nve s t H o s p i t a l i t y


This report presents our Environmental, Economic, Social, and Governance performance for 2025 and reflects our continued progress in integrating sustainability into the core of our business. More importantly, it underscores a fundamental shift: sustainability is not a separate initiative—it is increasingly shaping how we run our operations, manage risks, and drive long-term growth.

We recognize that this journey requires discipline and accountability. We remain committed to transparent reporting, strengthening our systems, and continuously improving how we translate intent into action across the organization.

As we move forward, we will continue to lead with purpose, act with responsibility, and deliver hospitality that creates lasting value—for our stakeholders today, and for the future.

MESSAGE FROM THE LEADERS

To our dear stakeholders,

In our previous Sustainability Report, we introduced the vision of becoming the Kind Host – a commitment to embed responsibility, care and purpose into how we operate and grow, and to uphold our duty to our people, our communities, and the environments we are privileged to be part of. In 2025, Filinvest Hospitality built on this foundation, translating intent into more consistent and measurable action across our portfolio.

JAMES M. MONTENEGRO President and Chief Operating Officer Filinvest Hospitality

F i l i nve s t H o s p i t a l i t y

Sustainability is no longer a parallel initiative; it is increasingly integrated into our operations. Across our properties, we expanded environmental programs— from waste reduction and circular practices to water conservation, plastic reduction, and the adoption of more efficient, paperless guest systems through our Check-in and Check-out Kiosks. These efforts strengthen both operational efficiency and environmental stewardship.


Our commitment to biodiversity evolved into a more integrated approach across both marine and landbased ecosystems. What began with coral reef rehabilitation now includes mangrove planting, treegrowing initiatives, habitat restoration, and on-site gardens that support sustainable food systems. Composting and waste-to-resource practices further help restore natural cycles and strengthen our connection to the environments we operate in.

As technology reshapes the hospitality landscape, particularly with the growing adoption of artificial intelligence in guest services and operations, we remain equally focused on strengthening human capabilities. We continue to invest in leadership development, digital readiness, and adaptive learning to ensure our teams can effectively leverage technology while delivering authentic, human-centered service.

Equally important is the role of our people. Through stronger community partnerships, outreach programs, and relief efforts, our teams continue to demonstrate that hospitality extends beyond our hotel doors. Internally, we are deepening a culture of inclusion, engagement, and leadership, recognizing that meaningful impact begins with empowered teams.

Looking ahead, our priority is to further scale what works, sharpen how we measure outcomes, and deepen partnerships that amplify our impact. Our ambition remains clear—to build an organization that our stakeholders trust, our communities rely on, and our people are proud to be part of.

This year also marked a step forward in accountability and recognition. Select properties achieved globally recognized third-party certifications, including the Good Travel Seal, while others progressed to higher levels of distinction. These milestones reflect the discipline behind our work—the systems we have built, the standards we uphold, and the consistency of execution.

Our journey continues. While we have made meaningful progress since last year, we remain committed to advancing further. Because in the end, our journey is not only about building more sustainable properties, but about becoming the kind hosts we aspire to be: thoughtful in our choices, responsible in our growth, and sincere in the care we extend to people and planet.

Scope This report presents the non-financial or EESG (Economic, Environmental, Social, and Governance) performance of Filinvest Hospitality covering hotel and restaurant operations across seven properties, including the Mimosa Plus Golf Course.

Materiality This report is guided by the principle of materiality and focuses on the sustainability matters most significant to Filinvest Hospitality’s business, strategy, risk profile, and long-term value creation. It also sets out management’s approach to these material topics. Filinvest Hospitality undertakes a full materiality reassessment every three years. The 2024 reassessment informed the material topics applied in 2025 and served as the basis for the disclosures and management priorities presented in this report. A weighted scoring methodology across key criteria— business impact, regulatory and compliance risk, stakeholder relevance, environmental and social impact, and reputational considerations —while ensuring alignment with the Group’s strategic imperatives: Execution Excellence, Customer Obsession, Builder of Brands, and Talent Centric. This process identified 18 material topics across economic, environmental, social, and governance dimensions. These topics reflect the areas of greatest significance to the Group’s operating context and stakeholder expectations and form the basis of Filinvest Hospitality’s sustainability disclosures and management priorities for 2025.

Material Topics Identified in the 2024 Re-assessment The material topics applied in 2025 are presented below by EESG dimension.

Environmental • Resource Efficiency • Environmentally Sustainable Properties • Reduce Carbon Footprint • Waste Management and Circular Economy; • Eco-Friendly and Sustainable Products • Green Buildings and Spaces • Enhancing Biodiversity

Filipino Hospitality Driven Unique Guest Experience From Puso to Performance: Going Beyond in Delivering Filipino Guest Experiences At the heart of our Unique Guest Experience is Filipino hospitality—a cultural value that shapes how we serve through warmth, care, and genuine respect. It is expressed in how we make guests feel welcomed, valued, and personally cared for throughout their stay. In 2025, the Group focused on improving consistency in service delivery through the Guest Experience Summit and regular Quality Council meetings, which aligned teams, reviewed guest pain points, and led to service improvements across functions.

Service capability was supported through structured training. In 2025, 315 associates completed Make UGE Difference modules, while total participation in UGE-related programs reached 346 associates, representing 25% of the workforce. These programs focused on attentiveness, empathy, customer service, and operational readiness. Across the portfolio, properties applied this approach in ways suited to their operating context, including the use of guest history, personalized guest interactions, and service touches aligned with guest needs and location

F i l i nve s t H o s p i t a l i t y

As guest expectations continue to evolve, we continued to use technology to support selected parts of the guest journey without replacing the human connection that defines Filipino hospitality. Self-service kiosks were used for check-in and check-out, with reported utilisation of 23.10% and 52.15%, respectively. The Beyond Mobile App was launched at Quest Plus Conference Center in December 2025, allowing guests to access services and submit requests through mobile devices. Internal service systems were also used to support coordination across teams. These efforts helped reduce friction in routine processes while giving teams more space to focus on guest engagement.


Recognition Rooted in Genuine Care In 2025, Filinvest Hospitality and its properties received 27 recognitions from 26 awarding bodies across guest experience, service quality, sustainability, workplace, and communications. Guest feedback highlighted warmth, attentiveness, and personalized service as consistent elements of the guest experience.

At the property level, Quest Plus Conference Center recorded recognitions in guest review, tourism, sustainability, and workplace-related categories. Crimson Resort and Spa Mactan and Crimson Resort and Spa Boracay also received awards linked to service, hospitality, and destination appeal, while Chroma Hospitality, Inc. and other properties were recognized for corporate and operational performance.

Management Approach and Scope Security and Safety is fundamental to hospitality.

2025 Key Initiatives

Challenges & Responses

In 2025, our Security and Safety systems were tested beyond routine operations by climate-related and environmental disruptions. Emergency preparedness and crisis response procedures were activated during typhoon events in Cebu, as well as earthquake-related incidents, with response efforts led by senior leaders and property heads.

Challenges and trade‑offs

Other key initiatives in 2025 include: • Upgraded security infrastructure, including CCTV modernization, firmware updates, and expanded surveillance coverage across properties. • Strengthened occupational safety and emergency preparedness, with increased drills, training programs, and restructuring of OSH frameworks. • Enhanced incident response and security operations, including improved coordination, access control, and safe execution of major events with no significant incidents reported in several properties.

38

F i l i nve s t H o s p i t a l i t y

Scaling safety systems requires sustained investment. Expanded training, emergency drills, and security infrastructure increased operating costs. Data maturity also varies across properties, particularly in near-miss reporting and consolidated year-on-year safety metrics.

How we responded We standardized safety and security protocols across properties to ensure consistent minimum controls. We prioritized risk-based investments, focusing on higher-exposure locations and activities. During crises, we ensured visible leadership involvement, reinforcing clear command structures and coordinated response.


Looking Ahead (2026 Targets) Looking to 2026, we will continue to strengthen Security and Safety by: • Establishing a group-wide near-miss reporting framework to improve leading-indicator visibility and strengthen proactive safety monitoring across operations. • Maintaining zero fatalities and zero data privacy breaches across operations. • Ensuring all properties operate with updated emergency and crisis response plans informed by climate risk assessments, operational reviews, and recent learnings.

• Continue security system modernization, including CCTV expansion, communication upgrades, and adoption of new technologies (e.g., RFID, PoC radios). • Improve security coverage, access control, and manpower capacity to support growing operational demands and mitigate risks These priorities support continuous improvement in safety performance, resilience, and consistent implementation across hotel properties.

Social and Environmental Investments

We invested PHP 1.04 million in social and environmental initiatives. While modest relative to core economic flows, these investments complement broader value distribution and remain an area for further strengthening as data maturity improves.


Challenges and Management Response Rising cost pressures required careful balancing of inclusive value sharing and financial resilience. We managed these trade-offs through responsible workforce planning, productivity improvements, and prudent cost management. Data granularity also constrained deeper analysis of local and regional value distribution. To address this, we strengthened data governance through clearer definitions, standardized templates, and closer coordination across entities.

Looking Ahead (2026) In 2026, we will further strengthen equitable value distribution by embedding it more deliberately into business planning, procurement, and performance management processes across the Group. Our focus will be on ensuring that value sharing remains aligned with operating scale, financial capacity, and long-term sustainability objectives. We will enhance visibility of local and regional value distribution, particularly in employment and supplier engagement, to better demonstrate community-level economic participation. Improving data segmentation and consistency will be critical to strengthening insights and decision-making. We will continue to improve the assurance readiness of economic data through clearer definitions, standardized reporting templates, and stronger coordination across entities. These efforts support more transparent, reliable, and decision-useful disclosure over time.

Talent Development and Employee Engagement Talent Development and Employee Engagement remain material to us because our people shape service quality, business performance, and organizational resilience. We focus on building workforce capability and strengthening engagement through structured development and consistent follow-through on employee feedback.

Featured Program: Filinvest Core Values Workshop, Building a Values-Driven Culture

Average Learning Hours per Employee Employee learning remained a core focus, with an average of 40 learning hours per employee in 2025. Learning participation reflected continued access across the workforce, with female employees averaging 43.26 hours and male employees averaging 35.46 hours, indicating relatively balanced engagement in development programs. AVERAGE BY GENDER

The Filinvest Core Values Workshop was launched in 2025 at Crimson Boracay to reinforce the Company’s six core values: Customer Centricity, Change for the Better, Filinvest Family, Entrepreneurial Mindset, Shared Benefits, and Trustworthiness. The three-hour, interactive program engaged47 employees (34 Rank & File and 13 Supervisors) through structured discussions, case studies, and role-playing activities that translate values into everyday workplace behaviors. The workshop supports employee engagement and organizational alignment by strengthening the application of core values in decision-making, collaboration, and service delivery.

Talent Review and Succession Planning

Employee Engagement

We further strengthened our talent review and succession planning processes, introducing improved assessment tools and adopting the 3A Framework (Aspiration, Ability, Agility) to support a more holistic evaluation of leadership potential. This enabled better visibility of employee readiness, mobility, and development needs.

In terms of employee engagement, no survey cycle was conducted in 2025. Instead, focus was placed on implementing action plans from the 2024 engagement survey, achieving 100% completion of identified initiatives, demonstrating accountability in addressing employee feedback.

F i l i nve s t H o s p i t a l i t y


2025 Key Challenges and Responses In 2025, we continued to enhance our approach to talent development and engagement while addressing gaps in measurement and feedback mechanisms. Learning and engagement metrics remain subject to varying measurement approaches; in response, we maintained the tracking of participation data while advancing plans to adopt a more standardized learning measurement framework. The absence of an engagement survey cycle during the year limited the capture of real-time employee feedback. To address this, we focused on the full implementation of action plans arising from the 2024 engagement survey, ensuring continuity in employee experience improvements.

The employer branding project led to the development of our employer value proposition, “A Place for You,” anchored on four pillars: • A Place to Belong - A place where everyone is welcomed, respected, and cared for like our guests • A Place to Grow - A place that nurtures your professional and personal growth • A Place to Add Value - A place where your creativity and contributions are valued and make a meaningful difference • A Place to Be Rewarded - A place where rewards are holistic and equitable These pillars will guide initiatives across attraction, development, engagement, and retention to strengthen the employee experience.

We also identified the need for more structured visibility into talent development and leadership pipelines. In response, we strengthened our talent review processes and introduced the 3A Framework (Aspiration, Ability, and Agility) to support more consistent and objective assessments of employee potential and readiness.

2026 Commitment and Aspirations In 2026, we will focus on: • Implementing the 4E Learning Framework (Education, Exposure, Experience, and Environment) to capture a broader range of development experiences. • Expanding Individual Development Planning beyond critical talents to support employee growth across the organization. • Activating our Employer Brand, building on research conducted in 2025 involving both external talent and employees.

Women in Leadership

Looking Ahead (2026)

In 2025, FHG continued to support women’s leadership development through targeted initiatives and visibility of role models across the organization. During International Women’s Day, learning sessions focused on career development and financial empowerment were conducted, featuring leadership insights from senior executives, including Ms. Mabel Roman.

FHG will continue to strengthen its DEI approach by enhancing program consistency, deepening awareness, and improving measurement frameworks. Key priorities include formalizing DEI metrics, expanding learning programs on inclusion and safe workplace practices, and sustaining initiatives that reinforce belonging across the organization.

Across properties, activities such as health and safety awareness, self-defense sessions, and wellness programs further supported confidence-building and professional growth among women employees.

Filinvest Hospitality remains committed to fostering workplaces where employees feel safe, respected, and empowered—recognizing that a strong culture of belonging supports both employee well-being and organizational performance.

Embedding a Culture of Belonging Building on FHG’s DEI strategy centered on belonging, initiatives in 2025 focused on integrating inclusive practices into everyday employee experiences. Programs such as onboarding, team engagement, and internal challenges emphasized collaboration, respect, and shared accountability for fostering inclusive workplaces.

Inclusion Through Community Impact and Accessibility FHG extended its DEI commitments beyond the workplace through initiatives that promote accessibility, dignity, and shared opportunity. The Soap for Hope Program, implemented in partnership with the Philippine Institute for the Deaf, provided skills development opportunities through the repurposing of used hotel soaps into reusable products—combining environmental stewardship with inclusive livelihood support. Following Typhoon Tino, teams mobilized relief efforts in affected communities, delivering essential supplies and support. Employees across properties also participated in community programs such as feeding initiatives and outreach activities, reflecting a shared commitment to service and inclusion.

The 29% increase in the ELUI of Golf areas is attributed to the rise in golf course-related activities, particularly at Hilltop Mimosa, an event space within the property that serves as a wedding venue, corporate event hall, and more. This growth was further driven by the opening of the driving range and the launch of Golf Night Lighting, a project utilizing high-bay LED lighting to illuminate the golf course for nighttime use.


Operational Improvements

Challenges & How We Responded

Despite higher demand, we continued to implement targeted energy efficiency initiatives:

The key challenge in 2025 was managing increased energy demand while maintaining guest comfort and service standards. As occupancy and F&B activity grew:

• We upgraded high-efficiency chillers in Crimson Boracay and Quest Clark, improving cooling system performance. • We achieved 95% LED conversion, supporting lower lighting-related demand and long-term efficiency. • We strengthened preventive maintenance programs, helping equipment operate at its optimal performance. • We expanded energy monitoring and submetering to improve visibility and control. • Guest Room Management System (GRMS) installation in Crimson Mactan is ongoing and did not materially impact 2025 performance.

ENERGY CONSUMPTION BY SOURCE (2024 VS 2025)

Total energy consumption increased in 2025, driven by higher electricity demand and increased LPG and diesel use associated with expanded operations.

• Total energy consumption increased • EPRS rose by 1.36%, indicating higher energy use per room sold • Higher-intensity properties such as Crimson Boracay, Quest Clark, Crimson Mactan, and Timberland continued to influence overall portfolio performance Energy performance reflects the higher demands of fullservice and guest-facing operations, making efficiency management a key focus. We addressed these challenges through targeted and data-driven interventions: • We shifted performance tracking toward EPRS, aligning efficiency with occupancy-driven demand • We prioritized high-impact systems, including chillers, lighting, and room-level controls • We continued expanding submetering installations: » Remaining coverage includes Quest Tagaytay (63% completed), Quest Clark (71% completed),and Timberland (54% completed) » Execution of the remaining phases—including basement areas, heat pumps, guestroom, and other high demand areas—is designed to leave the remaining unmetered baseline down to a strict target of 15–20% by the end of 2026 fiscal year • We maintained strict preventive maintenance protocols to sustain equipment efficiency No energy-related incidents or system failures were recorded during the year.

Our Approach

At the same time, total water withdrawal reached 602,491.30 m³, primarily reflecting increased demand as occupancy levels continued to recover. This figure excludes golf operations, which are tracked separately due to the use of a distinct metric.

Water is a critical operational resource, particularly in locations where supply conditions may vary. Effective water management supports business continuity, cost efficiency, and responsible use of shared resources across the communities where we operate.

Disclosure Note: Water intensity (m³ per room sold) covers hotel operations only. Golf operations are excluded as they are managed using a separate metric to ensure comparability and relevance of performance indicators.

Our approach focuses on disciplined operational execution—embedding monitoring, maintenance, and control practices into daily operations to drive consistent and measurable efficiency improvements. 66

Water Withdrawal by Source WATER RESOURCES, M3

Note: This chart reflects total water withdrawal across all tracked sources, which may differ from reported operational totals due to scope differences (e.g., inclusion of certain operations such as golf).

Water withdrawal decreased slightly in 2025 compared to 2024, with groundwater remaining the primary source. All water sources are consistently defined and measured across properties, supporting consistent tracking and comparison.

The automated irrigation system contributed to a 29% reduction in water use compared to the previous year. This indicates the value of controlled scheduling and system optimization in managing high-volume consumption areas.

Golf water performance is managed and reported independently from hotel operations to reflect the distinct nature of irrigation-based water use.

Golf water efficiency is measured using a water index based on gross area, to support comparability relative to the scale of operations. In 2025, the water index remained consistent with 2024 levels, indicating stable performance despite ongoing operational demands.

In 2025, total golf water consumption reached 760,929 m³, accounting for 74% of total groundwater withdrawal across tracked operations. This highlights the continued reliance on groundwater to support irrigation requirements across golf operations.

Operational Execution

Challenges & Management Response

Water efficiency was embedded into daily operations through the following actions:

While efficiency improved, several operational realities influenced overall performance:

• Implemented daily leak detection using monitoring and job order reporting systems, enabling earlier identification and response • Strengthened preventive maintenance programs under formal schedules across most properties • Applied operational controls in guestrooms, laundry, and landscaping, including monitoring and scheduling of water use • Tracked water performance alongside occupancy trends to help sustain efficiency improvements during periods of increased demand These practices enabled consistent control over water use and contributed to improved efficiency at the portfolio level.

Water Intensity by Property Water intensity improved across several properties in 2025, while variations in performance highlight opportunities to strengthen operational consistency and replicate efficient practices across the portfolio.

WATER INTENSITY, M3/ROOM SOLD

• At the start of 2025, preventive maintenance programs were not yet fully implemented in one property, which may have affected consistent leak prevention and system efficiency. • Current processes do not quantitatively track leak detection outcomes (e.g., avoided water losses), limiting the ability to assess the effectiveness of mitigation efforts. Management actions focused on balancing efficiency and operational growth through the following measures: • Prioritized water intensity (m³ per room sold) as the primary efficiency metric relative to activity levels. • Maintained daily monitoring and leak detection systems to support early intervention • Reinforced preventive maintenance programs to improve consistency across properties • Sustained 100% reporting coverage with internal validation procedures to ensure reliable data

These measures supported continued efficiency improvements while enabling operational recovery. No reportable water-related incidents were recorded during the year. Internal review identified no significant data gaps and no managed properties in high water-stress areas requiring additional disclosure during the reporting period.

Waste Management & Circular Waste Management remains a critical are for Filinvest Hospitality due to the inherent waste intensity of hospitality operations and its direct impact on environmental performance, regulatory compliance, and operating efficiency. We are focused on reducing waste at source, improving resource efficiency, and advancing circularity through systematic segregation, diversion, and responsible handling of both hazardous and nonhazardous waste streams.

Solid Waste Total solid waste declined by 30% to 750,331 kg in 2025 from 1,074,110 kg in 2024, driven by strengthened upstream controls, including improved portion management, production planning, and segregation discipline. Despite increasing occupancy and operational activity, waste volumes are increasingly being managed independent of business growth, reflecting improved operational efficiency.

Food Waste Food waste remains the most material waste stream, totaling 427,631 kg in 2025 from 408,000 kg in 2024. The increase in reported volumes reflects improved visibility from enhanced segregation and monitoring, rather than a corresponding increase in generation. These measures supported better production planning, cost control, and forecasting across F&B operations. As monitoring practices continue to mature, we prioritize absolute food-waste volumes alongside contextual percentage analysis to maintain data integrity and year-on-year comparability.

Waste Diversion and Composting Landfill diversion performance improved in 2025, increasing from an estimated ~110,000 kg in 2024 to 120,589 kg. Diversion in 2025 consisted of 47,112 kg of plastic recycled (39%), 44,462 kg of kitchen waste composted (37%), 29,015 kg of paper recycled (24%), and balance from surplus food donated. Composting adoption expanded to four properties in 2025 from three in 2024, reflecting a phased and sitespecific approach based on infrastructure, space, and local conditions. These improvements were achieved alongside overall waste reduction, indicating that enhanced practices— not reduced activity—drove performance gains.

Revenue from Recyclables Recycling initiatives continued to generate economic value in 2025. Total revenue from recyclables reached PHP 432,494, of which PHP 365,705.51 was generated by Quest Clark. While portfolio-level consolidation remains under validation, these demonstrates the link between effective segregation, material recovery, and circular value creation.

Hazardous Waste Management and Recovery Hazardous waste was systematically managed through structured tracking and compliance measures: • 100% completion of Hazardous Waste Generator Certificate registration across all properties, ensuring full regulatory compliance and strengthening waste traceability and control systems • Total hazardous waste managed: 153,272 kg, with the following breakdown: » 16,537 kg sold (primarily used oil) equivalent to revenue of PHP 251,000 » 53,700 kg disposed through accredited treatment and disposal facilities » 83,035 kg stored on-site pending disposal In 2025, monitoring was further strengthened by formally including hazardous waste temporarily stored on-site within reporting scope, an area not fully captured in previous disclosures. Stored hazardous waste is closely monitored, with controls for proper segregation, labeling, and secure storage to ensure traceability and minimize environmental and health risks prior to final treatment or disposal. The recovery and sale of used oil demonstrate how regulated waste streams can contribute to circular value creation, while strict compliance protocols ensure safe handling and disposal of non-recoverable materials. These practices support both regulatory compliance and resource recovery, reinforcing the dual role of hazardous waste management.

Challenges & How We Responded

Looking Ahead to 2026

In 2025, scaling waste management and circular economy initiatives presented operational and structural challenges across the portfolio. External recycling capacity remained a constraint, particularly for materials such as glass, where acceptance depends on market demand and location-specific factors. Infrastructure and space limitations— especially in older and urban properties—also affected the consistent deployment of segregation systems and on-site composting. In addition, program effectiveness continued to depend on staff discipline and guest participation in waste reduction practices.

We aim to further embed circular economy practices into operations:

To address these challenges, we implemented targeted, operationally aligned responses: • Adopted site‑specific solutions and partnerships, including glass processing and shared recycling facilities, to address external market constraints • Prioritized segregation at high-volume waste generation points and implemented phased infrastructure improvements based on site conditions • Strengthened off‑site diversion strategies, supported by closer coordination with LGUs and service providers where on-site solutions are not feasible • Reinforced behavioral engagement through staff training and guest-facing initiatives, promoting shared responsibility in waste reduction These actions improved operational control and strengthened participation across both employees and guests, supporting continued progress in waste reduction and circular practices.

72

F i l i nve s t H o s p i t a l i t y

• Reduce landfill-disposed waste by at least 10% from the 2025 baseline • Expand food donation and textile recovery programs across properties • Increase recycling revenue and value recovery through strengthened partnerships and upcycling initiatives • Assess and expand circular solutions, including coffee grounds upcycling and glass processing, where feasible These priorities build on improved data systems, operational controls, and behavioral practices established in 2024–2025.


From Grounds to Grow: Turning Coffee Waste into Circular Value At Baker J, used coffee grounds are repurposed into fertilizer under the Grounds to Grow initiative, demonstrating how small, high-volume waste streams can be managed more efficiently. The program integrates collection, processing, and reuse into regular operations, with output distributed to guests using reused packaging. This approach improves visibility of circular practices while reinforcing segregation discipline at the source. Rather than relying on large-scale infrastructure, the initiative highlights how consistent execution and crossfunctional coordination can support practical circular outcomes within existing operations

Grounds Upcycling at Baker J Used coffee grounds repurposed into fertilizer under the Grounds to Grow initiative.

Data That Drives Action: Building a Waste Baseline for Better Decisions Value In 2025, improved waste data visibility enabled more structured management of waste streams across properties. Centralized monitoring provided a clearer understanding of waste sources, volumes, and diversion opportunities, allowing teams to better prioritize operational improvements. This data-driven approach supported more informed decisions in areas such as production planning, buffet management, and materials handling. While refinement continues, particularly for food waste classification and revenue consolidation, the experience demonstrates that reliable and consistent data is a key enabler of operational control, accountability, and sustained improvement in waste management practices.

From Reef to Land: Expanding Our Commitment to Biodiversity Biodiversity is central to how we operate, grow, and create value. As a hospitality group rooted in destinations defined by natural beauty, our responsibility extends beyond delivering guest experiences—we are stewards of the ecosystems that make those experiences possible.

Coral reef rehabilitation remains a key focus, including the relaunch of an 8‑hectare marine sanctuary in Mactan, supported by coral propagation and transplantation programs.

Our properties are located across diverse landscapes, from coastal areas to forested environments and carefully managed green spaces. Maintaining healthy ecosystems—whether through coastal protection, wildlife habitats, or thriving green environments—is essential to both operational sustainability and long-term environmental care.

Our Approach Our biodiversity efforts have evolved from a primarily marine-focused approach to a broader, integrated model that covers both marine and land-based ecosystems. Today, biodiversity is embedded in daily operations through practices that link environmental care with how we manage our properties, including landscape management, food systems, and waste-to-resource initiatives.

Mangrove planting, tree growing, and clean-up activities support coastal protection and restoration of natural habitats.

Ecosystem Protection and Restoration

These efforts contribute to the recovery and maintenance of ecosystems directly connected to our operations.

We continue to implement biodiversity initiatives across marine and land-based environments:

Moving Forward As we move forward, our priority is to strengthen how sustainability is embedded, executed, and measured across our operations. Building on the progress in 2025, we are focusing on translating our Environmental, Economic, Social, and Governance (EESG) priorities into consistent, portfolio-wide execution with measurable outcomes. At the center of this approach is our philosophy of “The Kind Host — Mindful Hospitality in Action.” Being a Kind Host means extending hospitality beyond guests to include our employees, communities, partners, and the environments where we operate. It is reflected in how we manage resources responsibly, design our operations, and make decisions that balance business performance with long-term impact.

Our Focus Areas for 2026 To advance this, we will focus on: • Driving execution across material topics, translating priorities into clear, site-level actions aligned with defined metrics • Strengthening data systems and reporting discipline, improving consistency, comparability, and decision-usefulness of performance data • Enhancing governance and accountability, supported by clear ownership and regular performance monitoring • Expanding stakeholder engagement, reinforcing shared responsibility across employees, partners, and communities Moving forward, our goal is to ensure that sustainability is consistently integrated into how we operate and create value—not as a separate initiative, but as a standard of execution across the organization. Through stronger systems, disciplined implementation, and continuous improvement, we aim to build a more resilient, responsible, and performance-driven business, fully aligned with our commitment to mindful hospitality.
