Rosewood Hotel Group achieves GSTC Certification, reinforcing commitment to sustainable hospitality across the GCC
Abu Dhabi, UAE - Rosewood Hotel Group has been awarded the prestigious Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) certification, including key properties in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region. The certification, granted by Bureau Veritas, an accredited GSTC certification body, applies to 47 properties across Rosewood Hotels & Resorts, New World Hotels & Resorts, and Carlyle & Co. With GSTC certification, Rosewood Hotel Group solidifies its role as a leader in sustainable hospitality, ensuring its properties, including Rosewood Abu Dhabi and Rosewood Jeddah, meet the highest environmental and social standards. The certification verified that the Group's operational standards and guest experiences align with four key GSTC Criteria: effective sustainable management, social and economic benefits for local communities, preservation of cultural heritage, and environmental responsibility. A key differentiator of the Group's ethos is its commitment that sustainability and social impact initiatives are not mandates but core pillars, in which each property embraces every detail — from eco-conscious culinary creations and educational guest programming to sustainable design elements alongside those that celebrate local heritage and artistry, to partnerships that uplift local livelihoods. Mehvesh Mumtaz Ahmed, Vice President of Impact and Sustainability at Rosewood Hotel Group said 'At Rosewood, we endeavor to create experiences that are exciting and meaningful, and elevated yet responsible. The GSTC certification is a welcome endorsement that we are affixing this enrichment lens on every part of our business, from hiring, supply chain, and partnerships to procurement, design and more.' 'We extend our congratulations to Rosewood Hotel Group on achieving GSTC certification at a group-wide level, and particularly, twelve certified properties of their portfolio are among the first in their respective countries to receive GSTC-Accredited Certification, the highest level of assurance of credible validation of hotel sustainability claims,' said Randy Durband, CEO of the Global Sustainable Tourism Council. 'We hope Rosewood Hotel Group's achievement will serve as an inspiration for others to embrace and prioritize sustainability with rigorous and credible external verification.' The GSTC certification is a result of efforts steered by Rosewood Impacts, the group's roadmap for delivering positive impact on all its communities and our shared planet, which reflects the Group's ambition to become a purpose-led organization. This year, Rosewood Impacts will continue to empower Rosewood's community and ecosystems towards a more sustainable future by launching a group-wide carbon-neutrality journey, welcoming five additional properties as Impact Trailblazers, and rolling out more business-with-purpose restaurants at select properties. The term 'GSTC-Certified' is shorthand for 'certified by a Certification Body that is GSTC-Accredited'. A full list of GSTC-certified properties of the Group is as below: **Properties of the Group are among the first in their respective countries to receive GSTC certification. Carlyle & Co.

About GSTC Certification The Global Sustainable Tourism Council® (GSTC®) establishes and manages global sustainable standards, known as the GSTC Criteria. There are four sets: Destination Criteria for public policy-makers and destination managers, Industry Criteria for Hotels and Tour Operators, MICE Criteria for Venues, Event Organizers, and Events & Exhibitions, and Attraction Criteria for tourist attractions such as theme parks, museums, and national parks. These are the guiding principles and minimum requirements that any tourism business or destination should aspire to reach in order to protect and sustain the world's natural and cultural resources while ensuring tourism meets its potential as a tool for conservation and poverty alleviation. The GSTC Criteria form the foundation for GSTC's assurance role for Certification Bodies that certify hotels/accommodations, tour operators, and destinations as having sustainable policies and practices in place. GSTC does not directly certify any products or services, but provides accreditation to those that do.

Currently, the Group has over 30 properties under development worldwide, driven by a sense of purpose to build a future where people and place enrich one another. Each property's location and developer are carefully evaluated through the lens of a core principle of inspiring discovery and deepening connections with local culture and heritage. The newly launched properties have been selected for their authentic market potential and cultural significance, showcasing the brand's commitment to meeting evolving traveler desires for new destinations, cultural immersion, and luxury hospitality. "The launch of new properties in seven countries across three continents is a significant milestone for Rosewood. It exemplifies our devotion to offering thoughtfully curated lifestyle experiences that evoke desire and make a positive impact around the globe," said Sonia Cheng, Chief Executive Officer of Rosewood Hotel Group. "This underscores our quality growth strategy that is deliberately curated, focusing not merely on quantity but on selecting landmark properties that truly embody our brand's ethos." Rosewood Hotels and Resorts enters new markets As the first Rosewood property in Japan, Rosewood Miyakojima is slated to be an elegant retreat weaving local craftsmanship with innovative design. It creates a destination that immerses guests in the island's essence through exclusive, sustainable, and community-driven experiences, blending nature and culture to differentiate itself from conventional Japanese tourist spots. Rosewood Amsterdam, a historical masterpiece situated in the former Palace of Justice, will debut in the Netherlands in June as the latest hotel development housed within a monumental building in the UNESCO-listed Amsterdam Canal District. It offers a unique cultural experience that elegantly combines the rich history of the original building with Rosewood's signature lifestyle.

Rosewood Mandarina joins the Group's portfolio as its fourth property in Mexico, a renowned destination for luxury travelers today. Located on the country's west coast, the resort will be situated in the breathtaking region of Riviera Nayarit, which boasts almost 200 miles of beach along the Pacific Ocean. Emphasizing the element of "water," the resort provides guests with exclusive access to three diverse environments: the beach, The Flatlands, and the mountains, each offering unique activities. In the United Kingdom, The Chancery Rosewood is the brand's second London property, set in the city's distinguished Mayfair district and the iconic former Embassy of the United States. It combines legacy and innovation, drawing on the local sensibilities of the destination to enhance the property experience in myriad ways, including expert-led design and décor. World's first standalone Rosewood Residences Rosewood Residences Beverly Hills ventures into Los Angeles, California, as Rosewood's first standalone residential offering. This prestigious property was conceived with the vision of establishing an extraordinary standard of living in an unparalleled destination, and is thoughtfully designed to provide the space, services, and environment that foster a richly fulfilling lifestyle. It signifies a new era of elevated living, where modern, personalized lifestyles harmoniously merge with timeless sophistication.
