FY23 AT A GLANCE
FY23 COMMERCIAL HIGHLIGHTS:
• Settled the acquisition of the Sofitel Brisbane Central Hotel
in December 2023;
• Copthorne Hotel Palmerston North hosted the winning
Spanish Women’s National Football Team during the key
group stages of the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup held in
New Zealand and Australia;
• Hotel room refurbishment programme continued with 132
rooms completed at Millennium Hotel Queenstown and work
continuing on the remaining 70 rooms, plus commenced
refurbishment of 99 rooms in Millennium Hotel Rotorua;
• Commenced the recladding, reglazing and installation of air-
conditioning into the Copthorne Hotel Palmerston North;
• Renewal of bank facility through to January 2027 with an
increased limit of $120.0m;
• Restaurant One80 (located in Copthorne Hotel Oriental Bay)

entries from across the city.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE & FINANCIAL POSITION
• For the year ended 31 December 2023, MCK recorded a profit
attributable to owners of the parent of $21.6 million (2022:
$21.7 million).

contributed a profit before tax of $11.6 million (2022: $4.0

return to open borders and uninterrupted trading, but also
the sharp focus on improving profitability across the hotel
network during the year.

numbers.

million) with net asset backing (with land and building at
cost and before distributions) also increasing to 345.8 cents
per share (2022: 335.4 cents per share).

FROM THE CHAIR AND
THE MANAGING DIRECTOR
DEAR SHAREHOLDER
We were delighted to report a return to profit for Millennium &
Copthorne Hotels New Zealand Limited (MCK) in FY23, in a year
of trading uninterrupted by the covid pandemic but still facing
marco-economic headwinds. We were particularly pleased that
we were able to increase the hotel segmental profit before tax
by 388.1% this year. That figure reflects a 17.5% year-on-year
overall increase in occupancy to 61.2% as a result of the hard
work of our team and the effort that has gone in to making
each room as profitable as possible.
Of the challenges we faced, the year commenced with a series
of severe weather storms which impacted the access to certain
hotels and disrupted a number of events and travel plans at
the start of a year where we were looking forward to operating
without Covid lockdown restrictions.
As the year progressed, cost of living increases became another
factor affecting our business with softening consumer demand
for domestic leisure travel partially offset by increased
international demand, and increased costs including wages,
food, fuel and other staples. We are doing what we can to limit
passing these increases to our customers however, some price
increases are unavoidable.
With the re-opening of international borders in June 2022, New
Zealand has seen an influx of international visitors recovering
to c.76% of the levels seen in 2019 and certain international
visitor arrivals hitting their pre- pandemic levels. On looking at
these numbers more deeply though it is important to note the
reasons behind the travel, with approximately 90% recovery of
travellers visiting family and friends. This gives rise to holiday,
business, conference and incentive visitors achieving a c.67%
recovery against 2019. While we are still short of the pre-Covid
level of tourists, we are making real progress on our Revive and
Strive strategy and anticipate growth for MCK over the medium
term.
We are now starting to look forward, to the transition from
the Revive phase of our strategy to Thrive. As part of this, our
team has been looking at how we can develop our existing and
new talent, and existing and new business opportunities both
within New Zealand and overseas. We were pleased to see that
our teams, both at our support office and across our hotels,
were highly motivated, full of good ideas and initiatives and
keen to drive MCK and our hotels forward. These wide-ranging
insights will form the basis of our strategy over the next two
years and will allow us to shift into Thrive mode by 2026 as
planned.
Our vision remains to be the preferred hotel choice for
travellers in our region, grow our footprint and deliver value
for our guests, our team and our shareholders. In the short
term, our focus remains on reviving our business for tourism
market momentum post-Covid. We are pleased to report to you
on our progress under our three pathways, Product, People and
Profit.
PRODUCT
Protect and expand our hotel presence in New Zealand &
Australia; Invest in a portfolio of real estate or development
projects and manage our investment in CDL Investments.
NEW ZEALAND HOTEL OPERATIONS
In 2023, our New Zealand hotels recorded an operating
revenue of $101.1 million (2022: $65.2 million) for the year.
This increase is pleasing and reflects a return to pre-pandemic
demand patterns both domestically and internationally.
Ensuring that our physical product remains competitive is
important to reviving our future revenues and profits. The
second stage of our refurbishment at Millennium Hotel
Queenstown was completed at the end of 2023 with a further
132 rooms completed. 2024 will see additional work done on
the remaining 70 rooms and 18 suites which are expected to
be completed by Q3 2024. The first stage of the guest room
refurbishment at Millennium Hotel Rotorua of 99 rooms is
reaching completion and will be ready before the end of Q1
2024.
We have put a lot of attention and investment into lifting the
quality of our product in 2023 and it is already starting to
provide results, with positive guest feedback in response to the
updated look and feel of the Millennium Hotel Queenstown.
We expect similar positive responses from our guests when
the works at Millennium Hotel Rotorua are complete later this
year.
Copthorne Hotel Palmerston North hosted the Spanish
Women’s team who were the eventual winners of the Women’s
Football World Cup. The hotel is now being revitalised through
the recladding, reglazing and installation of air-conditioning.
Our new Director of Property Management Louise Borton
is developing a whole-of-network plan which will focus on
investment and improvement priorities for all of our current
hotels. The plan will form the basis of many of our medium
term investment decisions and will help us prioritise urgent
projects which will deliver the most optimal results.
We remain ambitious about potential acquisitions in New
Zealand should suitable opportunities arise. In the course of
the last year, MCK assessed a number of potential acquisitions
across the country to broaden our network and create new
opportunities to add value. On this front, we remain open
to opportunities to buy or manage hotels if they meet our
investment and operational criteria. With the sector in recovery
mode, interest from domestic and international investors in the
hospitality and accommodation sectors has picked up and we
do not want to miss out on opportunities which are accretive
and add points of difference to our well-established portfolio.
6 | MILLENNIUM & COPTHORNE HOTELS NEW ZEALAND LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2023
ESTABLISHING OUR AUSTRALIAN HOTEL PRESENCE
We were delighted to complete the acquisition of the Sofitel
Brisbane Central in December 2023 after announcing the
acquisition in March together with our immediate parent
company Millennium & Copthorne Hotels Limited (UK). While
there was minimal benefit to our 2023 results given the timing
of completion, we are looking forward to seeing the hotel do
well over the next twelve months given its strong performance
in its key market segments and very positive occupancy and
room rates. As announced previously, the hotel will continue to
be managed under its existing hotel management agreement
and branding.
Completing the purchase at the end of 2023 was a positive
way to end the year. There was a lot of intensive work done
from the announcement of the acquisition through to the
settlement between the New Zealand and Singaporean deal
teams which we would like to acknowledge. Acquiring a hotel
which has a very strong reputation in its local market and
which has unique strengths in the conference and incentives
sector was something we had been looking at for some time.
We are looking forward to seeing the synergies this hotel can
bring to our portfolio starting from this year.
SELLDOWN OF ZENITH RESIDENCY APARTMENTS IN
AUSTRALIA
We are continuing to sell down our Zenith Residency apartments
in Sydney with a total of five (2022: 5) apartments sold during
2023. At this stage, we still own and manage 31 apartments
being predominantly one bedroom units with some two – three
bedrooms units. However, we will continue to sell these down
and utilise the proceeds within our Australian operations.
SUSTAINABILITY
Climate impact is expected to affect the hospitality and
accommodation sectors in a variety of ways. Like all hotel
owners and operators across the world, we are aware of the
importance of reviewing our operations to see how climate-
positive improvements can be incorporated in all aspects. One
example is our electricity supply, which is provided by Meridian
Energy and generated from renewable sources such as wind
power, hydro and solar power.
We took steps to improve our commitments to sustainability by
joining Toitu Envirocare in 2023, achieving Toitu carbonreduce
certification in line with ISO 14064-1 early in 2024. We will
be looking to lift the bar again this year by looking at how our
business as a whole can become more sustainable and setting
tangible goals for emissions and carbon reduction over the
next few years. This annual report contains our first climate
related disclosure statement and sets out our strategy and
governance on these issues.
PEOPLE
Deliver memorable experiences for our guests; Build careers
that our people love to talk about.
Our year commenced with a shortage of staff in some key
locations and roles which restricted the quantity of rooms we
could reasonably sell and the services we could provide to our
guests. One of our key learnings has been how we recruit and
retain people. Following the appointment of our new Director
of Human Resources, Lisa Maclean, we have refreshed our
recruitment processes to attract and retain the best people
possible. We are continuing to work on ways to make MCK and
our hotels more attractive places to work.
Balancing the needs of our workforce and ensuring that we can
provide the best possible service and experience is a challenge
we face every day. We are very conscious of the need to grow,
develop and retain our workforce. In the course of 2024, we
will also be adjusting our focus to look at how our existing
workforce can thrive. This means seeing how we can retain,
train and develop our teams so that they continue to work
with us over the medium to long term and create their own
career paths with MCK. This is an important part of our People
Strategy and we are excited about how MCK and our hotels can
act as career-leading centres of excellence.
On behalf of the Board and management team, we would like
to thank everyone at our hotels and our support offices for
their tireless work during 2023. We are looking forward to
another productive and profitable year with all of you in 2024.

PROFIT
Drive improving revenue and profit; Leverage our strong
balance sheet to achieve growth; Deliver long term value to
our shareholders.
The work we have done over the past two years means that the
key elements to lifting our overall future profitability are now
in place. Our goal for this year is to ensure we are performing
at optimal levels.
As noted earlier, we were particularly pleased with the 388.1%
increase in the hotel segmental profit before tax. Overall, we
recorded an occupancy percentage of 61.2% (2022: 43.7%)
across all of our hotels and we also saw a healthy uplift in
average Revenue Per Available Room (RevPAR) of $120.03
(2022: $76.59). The RevPAR increase is pleasing given our
efforts to improve the profitability of each room sold. This
had been particularly challenging at the commencement of
the year with a shortage in staffing levels and severe weather
events impacting the ability to sustain the business demand.
This positive turnaround reflects not only the return to open
borders and uninterrupted trading, but also the sharp focus
on improving profitability across the hotel network during the
year.
MCK’s total revenue in 2023 was $145.7 million (2022: $144.2
million) and earnings per share was 13.65 cents per share
(2022: 13.72 cents per share). At 31 December 2023, MCK’s
shareholders’ funds excluding non-controlling interests was
$547.9 million (2022: $531.0 million).
Total assets increased to $746.8 million (2022: $709.2 million)
with net asset backing (with land and building at cost and
before distributions) also increasing to 345.8 cents per share
(2022: 335.4 cents per share).
CDL INVESTMENTS NEW ZEALAND LIMITED (CDLI)
CDLI’s 2023 results reflected the weakness in the property
markets seen from the end of 2022 which carried over into
2023. Despite this, CDLI was still able to record an operating
profit after tax for the year of $13.5 million (2022: $31.2
million). CDLI has kept its dividend at 3.5 cents per share,
which is due to be paid in May 2024.
DIVIDEND
MCK’s Board has resolved to declare and pay all shareholders
a fully imputed dividend of 3 cents per share for 2023. The
dividend, payable to all shareholders, will be paid on 17
May 2024 with a record date of 10 May 2024. The Board has
determined that the dividend balances provide a consistent
level of returns to shareholders and retain sufficient cash
resources required for ongoing refurbishment and other
projects.
OUTLOOK
We are entering the 2024 year with a sense of optimism,
with many things to look forward to. MCK remains on track
with its “Revive and Thrive” strategy and we expect to see
improvements from all of our business sectors, including CDLI,
as well as continued increases from our hotel operations.
With the completion of key refurbishments in Queenstown and
Rotorua, new refurbishment projects at Copthorne Hotel &
Resort Bay of Islands (and others currently being assessed) will
commence in 2024 and are expected to be completed within
the year. We expect them to deliver additional revenue growth
as soon as they become available.
Even though we have not noticed a meaningful return of
Chinese visitors, visitor numbers are steadily improving and
with more flight capacity into New Zealand, particularly in
the high seasons, we are expecting this growth in numbers to
translate into additional demand for accommodation at our
key properties. We are working hard to maximise the number of
confirmed bookings at our properties and improve our market
share throughout. We will also have the benefit of a full year’s
trading from Sofitel Brisbane Central which we expect to be
strong.
Our optimism is tempered with a note of caution – the cost of
doing business continued to increase in 2023 and we expect
these increases to continue to a lesser extent in 2024. While
some of these increases can and will be partially offset by the
ability to increase room rates in response to demand, we are
conscious of optimising our business to ensure that our growth
opportunities are not adversely affected.
We have set ourselves new revenue and performance targets
for 2024 as the tourism recovery continues and with the
addition of our Brisbane acquisition, and our immediate target
is to deliver an uplift to our 2023 results.
We firmly believe we are on track with our Strategy to Revive
and shift to Thrive. We continue to be focused on reviving our
people, products and profits throughout 2024.
We are looking forward to meeting shareholders at our Annual
Meeting on 28 May 2024, and reporting to you on a productive
and profitable year in due course.
On behalf of the Board and the MCK team, to our loyal
customers, thank you for your continued patronage throughout
the year just past. We appreciate it and look forward to seeing
you at one of our hotels in the very near future. We would also
like to thank our shareholders for your continued support.

BRISBANE DEVELOPMENT
In 2023, MCK and its parent company Millennium & Copthorne
Hotels Limited announced that, through a 50:50 joint venture,
they completed the acquisition of the Sofitel Brisbane Central
hotel in Australia from Brookfield Asset Management. The
purchase price was A$177.7 million (approximately NZ$190.8
million*), or A$427,000 (approximately NZ$458,625*) per
key. (*: NZD / AUD exchange rates used are 1 / 0.9314 as at 30
November 2023)
MCK Managing Director Stuart Harrison outlined what the
newly-acquired hotel would bring to MCK’s overall business.
“We have been able to monitor the hotel’s overall trading
performance this year which has included events such as FIFA
Women’s World Cup, a State of Origin rugby league game and
other international artist events which show how strong the
Brisbane and Queensland location is. We are encouraged by
its strong performance in 2023 especially in its key corporate
and leisure market segments where Central Brisbane Hotels
recorded September YTD Occupancy of ~73% and ADR of
~A$235”.
Mr. Harrison noted that Sofitel Brisbane Central has unique
strengths as an established fixture in the Brisbane /
Queensland market for meetings, conferences, and incentives
and the hotel would continue to be managed by the Accor
Group as a Sofitel hotel.
“Its key strengths in many areas made this acquisition very
attractive. We were particularly aware of its reputation in the
Australian Conference and Incentive (‘C&I’) Market. MCK also
has a long-established reputation as a leading player in the
New Zealand C&I markets so one of our immediate priorities
will be to determine what synergies we can create between
that hotel and our network to maximize revenue and client
demand for both”.
“Having the ability to host events at MCK-owned properties
in New Zealand and Australia will be beneficial for us in the
medium to long term”, he said.

JUL - DEC 2023
14,013 Meals Donated
Donations now available
in the
mall
On 1 July 2023 Millennium Hotels and Resorts New Zealand
entered a partnership with Save the Kiwi New Zealand to
create a unique opportunity for hotel guests to donate a
meal or a ‘room’ for a night to this leading conservation
charity dedicated to the preservation of New Zealand’s
national icon, kiwi.
Opting out of having your room serviced on a multi-night
stay helps the hotels conserve water and energy, the funds
from these resources can then be redirected towards Save
the Kiwi.
This innovative approach sees a guest simply reducing their
own room servicing needs and ensures a kiwi gets fed and a
safe environment to grow. Every time a guest chooses the
daily ‘no room servicing’ option on a multi-night stay by using
their Save the Kiwi door hanger at any Grand Millennium,
Millennium, Copthorne, Kingsgate or M Social hotels in New
Zealand, Millennium Hotel and Resorts will donate a meal for
a kiwi at Save the Kiwi’s kiwi crèche in Napier.

Credit risk
Management has a credit policy in pl ace and the exposur e to credit risk is moni tored on an ongoing basis. Credit eval uations ar e
perf ormed on all customers requi ring credit over a certai n amount . The Group does not re quire coll at eral in respect of financial as sets.

At bal ance date ther e wer e no significant concentra tions of credi t risk. The maximum exposure to cre dit ri sk is represented by th e

In managin g interest rate ri sks the Group aims to reduce the impact of short-te rm fluctuations on the Group’s earni ngs with an ongoing
re view of its exposure to changes in interest rates on its borro wings, the matur ity pr ofile of th e debt, and the cash flows of the
underlying debt. The Group main tains its borrowi ngs at fixed rat es on short term whic h gives the Group flexibility in the context of the

1.Accounting estimates and judgements
Management discussed wi th the Audit Committ ee the devel opment, se lection and di sc lo sure of the Group’ s critical ac counting polic ie s
and estimates and the application of t hese policie s and estimat es.
C
ritical accounting judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies
Certain critical a cc ounting judgements in applying the G roup’s accounting policies are d escribed below.
D
evelopment property
The Gro up is als o exposed to a ri sk of impairment to devel opment properties should the carrying value exceed the net reali sable
val ue due to mar ket fluctuations in the valu e of develo pment properties. However , there is no indic ation of impairment as the net
re al is able v alue of devel opment propert ies s ignificant ly exceed the carrying val ue d etermin ed by an independent r egistered val uer.
The val uer adopts the Sale s Comparison Appr oach to determine ra te s per hec
tare/ per square metre for blo ck land holdings in addition
to r ecent sec tion sale s t o der ive the gross real is ation values. The net realis able values are det er mined f rom gross reali sation values
af ter deducting appropriate sel li ng costs.
For re sidential land under development and is yet to commence development in the short term, the valuer adopts the Resid ual
Subdivision Appr oach. This approach c onsid ers the gr oss r eali sat ion val ues of the s ections le ss c osts as socia ted
w ith devel opment
including GST, sal es commi ssions, legal fees, civil and development costs inclu ding Council cont ribut ions, professional fees, and
contingency al lowances . In addition, holding cost s are deducted for the estimated timing of deve lopment and s ell down periods.
In both valuat ion approaches, the valuer make s as sumptions re lating to section prices, sell down periods, consumer confidence,
unemployment rates , int erest rates, and external economic factors. T
hese assumptions are sensitive to economic factors such as net
migration, Official Cash Rate set by t he Reserve Bank, in flat ion, residential market a ctivity, and business confidence.
I
nvestment property
The Group is also exposed to a ri sk of impairment to inves tment pr oper ties should the car rying valu e exc eed the recover able amount
due to mar ket flu ctuations in the value of investment properties. However , ther e is no indication of impairment as the recove rable
amount determined by an in dependent regi stered val uer significantly ex ceeds th e car ry ing val ue of investment properties. In
determini ng th e recover able amount, the valuer adopts the In com
e Capitalisation Approach whereby the assess ed market re nt for
each asset is capitalised in perpetuity fr om th e val uation date at an appropr iat e capitalisat ion rate. The adopted capitalisation ra te
re flects the natur e, location, and tenancy pr ofil e of the property together wi th current mar ket investment criteria as evidenced by
re cent sales. T he recover able amount is sensitiv e to movement s in the adopt ed ca pitalisation r at e and the mark et r ent.
P
roperty, plant, and equipment
The Group deter mines whether tangible fixed assets are impaired when indicator s of impairments exist or based on the annual
impairment assessment. The annual assessment requires an estimate of the re coverable value of the cash genera ting units to which
the tangible fixed assets ar e allocat ed, which is pr edominantly at the indiv idual hotel site level. An in ternal re view is performed which
re quires management to determine the recover able amount by estimatin
g futur e cash f lo ws t o be generated by the cash genera ting
units. External valuati ons ar e underta ken on the hot el assets on a triennial cycle. Estimat ion of the recoverabl e amount of th e hot el
assets is done with refere nce to fair value determined by the exter nal valuer, usin g the income approach and adjusted for costs to
sell, whi ch requires estimat ion of fut ur e cash flo ws of a thi rd-party ef ficie nt operator, the time per iod over whi ch th ey will occur,
an
appropri at e discount rates, terminal capital is ation ra tes and gr owth rat es. The Di rectors consid er that the as sumptions made
re present their best es timate, and that the di sc ount rate and terminal capital is ation rat e used ar e appr opriat e given the risks
associat ed with the specific cash flows.
2
2.Lease
At incept ion of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contai ns , a le ase. A contrac t is, or contain s, a lease if the
contra ct conveys the right to cont rol the use of an identified as set for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess
whet her a c ont ract conveys the rig ht t o cont rol the use of a n identified asset, the Group u ses the d efinition o f a lease in NZ I FRS 16.
This polic y is applied to cont ra cts entered into, on o r after 1 January 20
19.
At commencement or on modification of a contract that contain s a lease component, the Group al locates the consideration in the
contra ct to each l ease component on t he basis of its r el at ive stand-alone prices.
The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liabilit y at the lease commencement dat e. The ri ght-o f-use asset was
re cognised at cost on initial recognition, which compri sed the init ial amount of the lease liability adj usted for any lease
payments
made at or before the commencement date, plus any init ial direct c osts i ncurred and an estimate of costs t o dismant le and remove
the underl yin g asset or t o restore the underlyin g ass et or t he site o n which it i s located, l ess any lease incentives r eceived.
The ri ght of use asset is depreciated using the str ai ght -l ine met hod fr om th e commencement date to the end of the lease term,
unless the lease transfers ownershi p of the under lying asset to the
Group by the end of the lease term or the cost of the right-of-
use asset reflects that the Group will exercise a purchase option. In that case the ri ght -of -use asset will be depreciat ed over the
useful lif e of the underlying asset, which is determined on the same basis as those of property and equipment. In addi tion, the ri ght-
of -use asset is periodically re duced by impairment l osses, if any, and adj usted f or c ertain re -measurements of t he lease
liabi li ty.

The Group restat ed the comparativ e amounts (31 December 2022) in respect of th e undi scounted lease commitment as the pr ior
year was pre sented on a discounted basi s. Thi s has been corrected in the above note. The error has no impact over th e prof it or
loss, financial positi on, and c ashflow.
The lease liability is in itially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not pai d at the commencement date,
di scounted us
in g the int ere st ra te impl ic it in the lease or , if that ra te cannot be readily determined, the Gro up’s incremental borrowing
ra te. Genera lly, t he Gro up uses i ts i ncrement al b orrowin g ra te as t he discount r ate.
The Gro up determines its incremental borrowin g rate by obt ain ing int erest rates fro m various exter nal financing sour ces and makes
cer ta in adjustment s t o refl ect t he t erms of t he l ease and type of t he asset leased.
Lease p ayments i ncluded in the
measurement of t he lease liability c omprise t he fo llowing:
-fixed payment s, including in-s ubstance fixed p ayments;
-vari able lease payment s that depend on an index or a ra te, in itial ly measured using the index or rate as at the commencement
dat e;
-amounts e xpected to be payable under a resid ual v alu e guarant ee; and
-the exer cis e price under a purchase option that the Group is re asonably certain to exercise, le ase payments in an optional
r
enewal period if the Group is reasonably cer ta in to exer cise an extension optio n, and penaltie s for early termination of a lease
unle ss the Group is r easonably c ertain not t o t erminate earl y.
The le ase liability is measur ed at amortised cost using the effective int er est met hod. It is re measured when there is a change in
future lease payments aris ing from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the Group’s estimat e
of the amount expected
to be payable under a residual value guar ant ee, if the Gro up changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase,
extensio n or t ermination opt io n o r if t her e is a revised in- substance fixed lease payment.
When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a cor respondi ng adjustment is made to the carryin g amount of the right-o f-use
asset, o r is recorded in profit or l oss if the car ry ing amount of t he right -of-
use asset h as been reduced to zer o.
The Group presents right-o f-use assets that do not meet the def inition of in ves tment pro perty in ‘property, pla nt and equipment ’ and
lease liabilit ies i n t he Statement of F in ancial P osition.
S
hort-term leases and leases of low-value assets
The Group has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabi lit ies for leases of low-value assets and short- ter m leases,
including IT equipment. The Gro up recogni ses th e le ase payments associat ed with these leases as an expense on a strai ght -line
basis over t he l ease term.

Independent Auditor’s Report
To the shareholders of Millennium & Copthorne Hotels New Zealand Limited
Report on the audit of the consolidated financial statements
Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements
of Millennium & Copthorne Hotels New Zealand
Limited (the ’company’) and its subsidiaries (the
'group') on pages 1 to 28 present fairly, in all material
respects:
i. the group’s financial position as at 31 December
2023 and its financial performance and cash flows
for the year ended on that date;
in accordance with New Zealand Equivalents to
International Financial Reporting Standards issued
by the New Zealand Accounting Standards Board
and International Financial Reporting Standards
issued by the International Accounting Standards
Board.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated
financial statements which comprise:
— the consolidated statement of financial position
as at 31 December 2023;
— the consolidated income statement, statements
of comprehensive income, changes in equity and
cash flows for the year then ended; and
— notes, including a summary of significant
accounting policies.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) (‘ISAs (NZ)’). We
believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
We are independent of the group in accordance with Professional and Ethical Standard 1 International Code of
Ethics for Assurance Practitioners (Including International Independence Standards) (New Zealand) issued by the
New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards Board and the International Ethics Standards Board for
Accountants’ International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence
Standards) (‘IESBA Code’), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these
requirements and the IESBA Code.
Our responsibilities under ISAs (NZ) are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the
consolidated financial statements section of our report.
Our firm has also provided other services to the group in relation taxation compliance, taxation advisory and
strategy support services. Subject to certain restrictions, partners and employees of our firm may also deal with
the group on normal terms within the ordinary course of trading activities of the business of the group. These
matters have not impaired our independence as auditor of the group. The firm has no other relationship with, or
interest in, the group.
Materiality
The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. Materiality helped us to determine the
nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of misstatements, both individually
and on the consolidated financial statements as a whole. The materiality for the consolidated financial statements
as a whole was set at $4.6m determined with reference to a benchmark of group total assets. We chose the
benchmark because, in our view, this is a key measure of the group’s performance.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of
the consolidated financial statements in the current period. We summarise below those matters and our key audit
procedures to address those matters in order that the shareholders as a body may better understand the process
by which we arrived at our audit opinion. Our procedures were undertaken in the context of and solely for the
purpose of our statutory audit opinion on the consolidated financial statements as a whole and we do not express
discrete opinions on separate elements of the consolidated financial statements.
The key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit
Impairment of hotel assets
Refer to Note 9 to the Financial Report.
Impairment of hotel assets is a key audit matter
given the magnitude of the balance (being 35%
of total assets), conditions that indicate
potential impairment and the judgement
required by us in assessing the group’s key
valuation assumptions to determine the value
of specific hotel assets.
The recoverable amount of the hotel assets
was determined by an external valuer (for
selected hotels) and the group’s internal
discounted cash flow models. We focussed on
the key assumptions in the valuation models
including the projected occupancy rates,
average daily room rates (ADRs), projected
direct costs, discount rate and terminal
capitalisation rate. Due to the ongoing recovery
of international travel from COVID-19 and
increased funding costs, the level of estimation
uncertainty in relation to the projected
occupancy rates and ADRs is still significant.
This uncertainty is also considered in
determining discount rates and terminal
capitalisation rates as well as considering
recent transactions. These conditions
necessitate additional scrutiny by us, as a
change in assumptions in the impairment
models could have a material impact on the
carrying value of hotel assets.
Our audit procedures included:
- Evaluating the group’s determination of the appropriate cash-
generating unit (“CGU”) for impairment testing purposes.
- Assessing each hotel asset for impairment indicators
including consideration of changes in land lease and other
contractual arrangements, changes in economic conditions
and financial performance, physical quality of the underlying
asset and capital expenditure requirements.
- Assessing the scope of work performed, competency,
professional qualifications, independence and experience of
the external valuer engaged by the group. This included
holding discussions with the external valuer.
- Working with our internal valuation specialists to assess the
external valuer’s approach, the appropriateness of the
valuation methodology and compliance with property
valuation standards.
- Challenging the group’s key assumptions (occupancy rates,
ADRs, projected direct costs, discount rates and terminal
capitalisation rates) included in the external valuations and
the group’s internal discounted cash flow models by:
• comparing to externally derived data from hotel
industry reports and other market data;
• assessing the relevance and reasonableness of the
discount rates, terminal capitalisation rate and price per
room with reference to rates used in the prior year
external valuations and recent market evidence
presented by the valuer;
• performing a sensitivity analysis over occupancy rates,
projected ADRs, discount rates and terminal
capitalisation rates to understand and identify the hotel
assets most sensitive to impairment and focus our
further procedures.
- Assessing the accuracy of the group’s and external valuer’s
previous forecasts to inform our evaluation of the forecasts

as a whole was set at $4.6m determined with reference to a benchmark of group total assets. We chose the
benchmark because, in our view, this is a key measure of the group’s performance.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of
the consolidated financial statements in the current period. We summarise below those matters and our key audit
procedures to address those matters in order that the shareholders as a body may better understand the process
by which we arrived at our audit opinion. Our procedures were undertaken in the context of and solely for the
purpose of our statutory audit opinion on the consolidated financial statements as a whole and we do not express
discrete opinions on separate elements of the consolidated financial statements.
The key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit
Impairment of hotel assets
Refer to Note 9 to the Financial Report.
Impairment of hotel assets is a key audit matter
given the magnitude of the balance (being 35%
of total assets), conditions that indicate
potential impairment and the judgement
required by us in assessing the group’s key
valuation assumptions to determine the value
of specific hotel assets.
The recoverable amount of the hotel assets
was determined by an external valuer (for
selected hotels) and the group’s internal
discounted cash flow models. We focussed on
the key assumptions in the valuation models
including the projected occupancy rates,
average daily room rates (ADRs), projected
direct costs, discount rate and terminal
capitalisation rate. Due to the ongoing recovery
of international travel from COVID-19 and
increased funding costs, the level of estimation
uncertainty in relation to the projected
occupancy rates and ADRs is still significant.
This uncertainty is also considered in
determining discount rates and terminal
capitalisation rates as well as considering
recent transactions. These conditions
necessitate additional scrutiny by us, as a
change in assumptions in the impairment
models could have a material impact on the
carrying value of hotel assets.
Our audit procedures included:
- Evaluating the group’s determination of the appropriate cash-
generating unit (“CGU”) for impairment testing purposes.
- Assessing each hotel asset for impairment indicators
including consideration of changes in land lease and other
contractual arrangements, changes in economic conditions
and financial performance, physical quality of the underlying
asset and capital expenditure requirements.
- Assessing the scope of work performed, competency,
professional qualifications, independence and experience of
the external valuer engaged by the group. This included
holding discussions with the external valuer.
- Working with our internal valuation specialists to assess the
external valuer’s approach, the appropriateness of the
valuation methodology and compliance with property
valuation standards.
- Challenging the group’s key assumptions (occupancy rates,
ADRs, projected direct costs, discount rates and terminal
capitalisation rates) included in the external valuations and
the group’s internal discounted cash flow models by:
• comparing to externally derived data from hotel
industry reports and other market data;
• assessing the relevance and reasonableness of the
discount rates, terminal capitalisation rate and price per
room with reference to rates used in the prior year
external valuations and recent market evidence
presented by the valuer;
• performing a sensitivity analysis over occupancy rates,
projected ADRs, discount rates and terminal
capitalisation rates to understand and identify the hotel
assets most sensitive to impairment and focus our
further procedures.
- Assessing the accuracy of the group’s and external valuer’s
previous forecasts to inform our evaluation of the forecasts
FIN 31 | MILLENNIUM & COPTHORNE HOTELS NEW ZEALAND LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2023
The key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit
incorporated into the valuation models. This included
comparing actual occupancy rates, ADRs and direct costs to
the assumptions projected over the forecast period and used
in the prior period valuations.
- Assessing the adequacy of the disclosures made in the
financial statements by using our understanding obtained
from our testing and against the requirements of the
accounting standards.
We did not identify material exceptions from procedures
performed, and the financial statement disclosure is
consistent with the requirements of the accounting standards.
Capitalisation and allocation of development costs
Refer to Note 10 to the Financial Report.
The group’s development property comprises
land and costs incurred to develop land into
subdivisions and individual properties for sale.
The development properties represent 33% of
total assets on the consolidated statement of
financial position.
The capitalisation and allocation of
development costs is a key audit matter as
determining whether to capitalise or expense
costs relating to development of the land is
subjective as it depends whether the costs
enhance the land or maintain the current value.
In addition, there is significant judgement in
determining whether obligations exist for future
costs and how to allocate capitalised
development costs to individual properties or
stages.
The key judgements used in this determination
are:
• Whether costs are eligible for
capitalisation under the relevant
accounting standards
• the allocation of capitalised costs to
the individual projects, stages and
land lots and the associated
recognition of cost of sales
• Whether a capitalised cost and the
associated
liability for future
obligations should be recorded under
the relevant accounting standard.
Our audit procedures included:
- Evaluating the group’s accounting policy for capitalisation of
development costs using the criteria in the accounting standard.
- Developing an understanding of the key controls over the cost
capitalisation and allocation process.
- Agreeing a sample of capitalised development costs to
supporting documentation. For each selected transaction we:
• Considered the nature of the costs capitalised and evaluated
whether they are eligible for capitalisation under the relevant
accounting standard.
• Assessed the appropriateness of
allocation to the individual
project stages and land lots.
- Agreeing a sample of land acquisitions to sales and purchase
agreements, settlement document and cash payment.
- Performing analytical procedures in relation
development
property costs of sales to assess that margins recognised
between periods were appropriate, including considering
alternative methods of allocation.
- Evaluating the reasonableness of the group’s judgement
to
record liabilities for future obligations and that these have been
appropriately measured and recorded in accordance with the
applicable accounting standard.
- Assessing
disclosures included in the consolidated financial
statements in respect of the development properties using our
understanding obtained from our testing and against the
requirements of the accounting standards.
Our testing
did not identify any material exceptions related to
capitalised development costs, the allocation of those costs to
individual project stages and the recognition of future development
cost obligations.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated
financial statements
Our objective is:
— to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and
— to issue an independent auditor’s report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance
with ISAs NZ will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. They are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they
could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these
consolidated financial statements.

MILLENNIUM & COPTHORNE HOTELS NEW ZEALAND LIMITED
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT (MARCH 2024)
This Corporate Governance Statement
summarises the approach of Millennium
& Copthorne Hotels New Zealand Limited
(“MCK”) to applying the principles and
recommendations outlined in the NZX
Corporate Governance Code dated 1
April 2023 (the “NZX Code”), including
where our practice differs from the
recommendations under the Code. This
Corporate Governance Statement reports
on MCK’s corporate governance matters in
respect of the period ending 31 December
2023, and was approved by the Board on
14 March 2024. Notwithstanding that we
have a 31 December 2023 balance date,
we have chosen to report against the 1
April 2023 version of the NZX Code, rather
than the 17 June 2022 version of the NZX
Code.
Towards the end of the 2023 financial
year and into the 2024 financial year, we
undertook a review of our key corporate
governance documentation (including
committee charters and key policies and
procedures) (the Corporate Governance
Review). Following the completion of the
Corporate Governance Review, in February
and March 2024 the Board resolved to
approve and adopt updated versions of the
relevant documentation.
The Company’s constitution, the Board
and committee charters, any of the other
charters or other governance documents
referred to in this statement are available
to view on our website at https://
mckhotels.co.nz/investors/.
PRINCIPLE 1 – ETHICAL STANDARDS
Directors should set high standards of
ethical behaviour, model this behaviour
and hold management accountable
for these standards being followed
throughout the organisation.
Following completion of the Corporate
Governance Review, in February 2024 the
Board adopted an updated version of the
Code of Ethics that applies to directors
and employees of MCK. The Code of Ethics
outlines internal reporting procedures for
any breach of ethics, and describes MCK’s
expectations about behaviour. A copy
of the Code of Ethics is available on the
Company’s website.
The updated Code of Ethics has been
communicated to all directors and
employees of the Company. MCK regularly
conducts training on compliance with
ethical standards with its directors and
employees.
In addition to the Code of Ethics, MCK has
a Code of Conduct which applies to all of
MCK’s employees. All of MCK’s employees
are expected to act in the best interests
of MCK and to enhance the reputation
of the company. MCK also has a number
of operational policies which must be
followed by employees and the MCK Code
of Conduct forms part of each employee’s
employment agreement.
During the 2023 financial year MCK did not
comply with recommendation 1.1 of the
NZX Code in respect of the requirement
for the Code of Ethics to apply to all
employees. Instead, the Code of Conduct
applied to all of MCK’s employees. While
the Code of Conduct addressed a number
of the factors set out in recommendation
1.1 of the NZX Code, it did not address
all of the relevant factors. No alternative
governance practice was adopted in lieu
of the recommendation during the period.
As noted above, following the Corporate
Governance Review MCK’s Code of Ethics
now applies to all of MCK’s employees.
MCK also believes in fair dealing with its
customers and suppliers, shareholders,
employees and other stakeholders and
external third parties.
All Directors have access to the
Company Secretary at any time as well
as independent legal, financial or other
professional advice at the expense of the
company as may be required.
MCK has a Whistleblowing Policy
which extends to all management and
employees. The Whistleblowing Policy
facilitates the disclosure and impartial
investigation of any serious wrongdoing.
This policy advises employees of their
right to disclose serious wrongdoing,
and sets out the Company’s internal
procedures for receiving and dealing with
such disclosures. The policy is consistent
with, and facilitates, the Protected
Disclosures Act 2000 and is supported by
the Board.
MCK has a financial product trading
policy which applies to all employees and
directors. Our financial product trading
policy was updated in March 2024 as part
of the Corporate Governance Review. Our
share trading policy is available on the
Company’s website.
PRINCIPLE 2 – BOARD COMPOSITION AND
PERFORMANCE
To ensure an effective Board, there should
be a balance of independence, skills,
knowledge, experience and perspectives.
Background
MCK’s Board has responsibility, control
and oversight of the business activities,
strategic direction and the governance
of MCK and its subsidiary companies. It
looks at how the company is operating,
how risk and compliance are managed,
approving financial and other reports
and capital expenditure and reporting to
MCK’s shareholders. The Board approves
MCK’s budgets and business plans as well
as significant projects and has statutory
obligations for other matters such as
the payments of dividends and the issue
of shares. The Board is accountable to
MCK’s shareholders for the company’s
performance.
The Board adopted a written charter
in March 2024 as part of the Corporate
Governance Review. The Board Charter
sets out the roles and responsibilities of
the Board. The Board Charter is available
in the Policies and Charters section of
the Company’s website. During the 2023
financial year MCK did not comply with
the requirement under recommendation
2.1 of the NZX Code to have a written
board charter. MCK did not follow this
recommendation because MCK had
previously considered this requirement to
have been satisfied by the relevant section
of the Corporate Governance Statement
itself and the roles and responsibilities of
the Board set out in the Constitution. Given
this, no alternative governance practice
was adopted in lieu of the recommendation
during the period.
Certain powers are delegated to Board
Committees and Subcommittees. The role of
the Committees is detailed under Principle
3.
Day-to-day management is delegated to the
Managing Director and senior management.
The levels of authority are approved by way
of a Delegated Authorities Manual, which
is reviewed by the Audit Committee and
ultimately approved by the Board.
Nomination process
Appointments to the Board are generally
considered by the Board as a whole, and
the Board takes into account the skills
required to allow it to carry out its functions
and governance role. If necessary, a Board
subcommittee will be formed to assess
nominees.
MILLENNIUM & COPTHORNE HOTELS NEW ZEALAND LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2023 | CG 2
As part of the appointment process, checks
are completed which include the nominee’s
business experience, qualifications and
good character. If appointed, a director
will receive a letter formalising their
appointment. The letter confirms the key
terms and conditions of appointment and is
signed by both the Chair and the director.
Assess director, board and committee
performance
The Board’s procedure for regularly
assessing director, board and committee
performance is set out in the Board Charter,
which was adopted in March 2024 as part
of the Corporate Governance Review.
During the 2023 financial year MCK did
not comply with the requirement under
recommendation 2.7 of the NZX Code to
have a formal procedure for assessing
such performance. MCK did not follow this
recommendation because the procedure
was previously conducted on an informal
basis. Given this, no alternative governance
practice was adopted in lieu of the
recommendation during the period.
Board composition
MCK’s Constitution specifies a minimum
number of three directors and a maximum
number of nine directors at any one time.
Two directors must ordinarily be living in
New Zealand. In line with the NZX Main
Board Listing Rules, MCK is required to have
at least two Independent Directors.
Independence determinations
Currently, MCK has determined that its
Chair Colin Sim, Graham McKenzie and
Leslie Preston are Independent Directors
for the purposes of the NZX Listing Rules.
Messrs Hangchi, Harrison, and Kwek are not
considered by the Board to be Independent
Directors. This means that MCK does not
currently comply with, and did not during
the 2023 financial year comply with,
recommendation 2.8 of the Code. That
recommendation requires a majority of the
Board to be Independent Directors for the
purposes of the NZX Listing Rules. MCK did
not follow this recommendation because its
largest shareholder holds more than 50% of
the shares in the Company and believes that
it is reasonable for Independent Directors
to not comprise a majority of the directors
in those circumstances. The Company notes
that non-Independent Directors equally
do not comprise a majority of the directors
(only 50%), only two of the three non-
Independent Directors are associated with
the Company’s major shareholder, the Chair
is an Independent Director and the Chair
has a casting vote. Given these matters,
no alternative governance practice was
adopted in lieu of the recommendation
during the period.
MCK’s Chair is an Independent Director and
is not the Managing Director.
When assessing independence, the Board
holistically considers the interests and
relationships of a director that could affect
the determination, including having regard
to (but not limited to) the factors set out in
Table 2.4 of the NZX Code.
The Board considers Graham McKenzie to be
an Independent Director for the purposes
of the NZX Listing Rules despite him being
a director of MCK for more than 12 years.
Mr McKenzie was first appointed to the
MCK Board in 2006. The Board believes that
the length of time Mr McKenzie has been a
director of MCK has not impacted his ability
to act objectively or adequately monitor
management. Mr McKenzie is due to retire
by rotation at MCK’s 2025 annual meeting of
shareholders and has said that he will not be
seeking re-election at that meeting.
Board meetings
Board meetings are generally held quarterly,
with additional meetings convened when
required. The table below details directors’
attendances during 2023.

Training
The Board encourages all directors to
undertake their own continuous education
so that they can perform their duties as
directors and provide maximum benefit to
the Board and to shareholders. Following
adoption of the Board Charter in February
2024 as part of the Corporate Governance
Review, MCK will provide specific training to
directors as required.
Diversity and Inclusion Policy
In 2018, MCK also adopted a Diversity and
Inclusion Policy. The key elements of MCK’s
Diversity and Inclusion Policy are to maintain
a culture of ownership and trust, ensuring
that our leaders are good role models for
others and demonstrate behaviours and
actions that match our values and adhere to
them throughout our business.
The Board is satisfied that MCK’s current
practices are in line with the Diversity
and Inclusion Policy. During 2023, work
has continued on increasing awareness
about diversity within the organisation
and improving our talent recruitment and
selection process.
We are also looking to review and refresh
our training around diversity issues in the
workplace. Updating our Diversity and
Inclusion Policy is a priority for 2024. As
measurable metrics for furthering diversity
and inclusion are established, performance
against these agreed metrics will be
referenced in subsequent annual reports.
Based on the above, the Board’s assessment
is that MCK has complied with its Diversity
and Inclusion Policy for 2023.
PRINCIPLE 3 – BOARD COMMITTEES
The Board should use committees where this
will enhance its effectiveness in key areas
while still retaining board responsibility.
Committees help the Board in carrying
out its responsibilities and MCK currently
has two standing committees, being the
Audit Committee and the Remuneration
Committee.
MCK does not currently have a Nominations
Committee because nominations and
appointments are generally considered
by the Board as a whole. The process
for appointing directors is set out under
Principle 2.
The Board also forms other subcommittees
as and when required to address specific
issues that arise.
Audit Committee
The Audit Committee is comprised with a
majority of Independent Directors and has
an Independent Director (who is not the
CG 3 | MILLENNIUM & COPTHORNE HOTELS NEW ZEALAND LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2023
Holdings New Zealand Limited was to
approach the Company in relation to a
control transaction it should have sufficient
time in which to organise its response.
Given this, no alternative governance
practice was therefore adopted in lieu of the
recommendation during the period.
PRINCIPLE 4 – REPORTING & DISCLOSURE
The Board should demand integrity in
financial and non-financial reporting and
in the timeliness and balance of corporate
disclosures.
Continuous Disclosure Policy
As an NZX-listed entity, MCK recognises the
need to ensure that it is fully compliant with
its reporting and disclosure obligations and
has in place a Continuous Disclosure Policy
(CDP) which applies to MCK, its subsidiaries
(“Group”), and all their respective directors
and employees.
The Board has appointed the Board Chair,
the Chair of the Audit Committee, the
Managing Director, the Company Secretary
and the Vice President Finance to act as
MCK’s Continuous Disclosure Committee
(the Disclosure Committee). A quorum of the
Disclosure Committee shall consist of no less
than three (3) of these persons.
The Disclosure Committee is responsible for:
• determining what information
amounts to material information and
must be disclosed;
• determining the timing of disclosure of
any information in accordance with the
CDP;
• approving the content of any
disclosure to NZX (including matters
not directly covered by the CDP);
• ensuring that all employees and
directors within the Group whom the
Committee considers appropriate
receive a copy of the CDP and
appropriate training with respect to it;
• developing mechanisms designed to
identify potential material information
(e.g., agenda item on management
meetings); and
• iaising with legal advisers in respect of
MCK’s compliance with its continuous
disclosure obligations.
The CDP was updated as part of the
Corporate Governance Review and is
available in the Policies and Charters section
of the Company’s website.
Key governance documents on website
As mentioned at the start of this Corporate
Governance Statement, the Company’s key
governance documents are available on the
Company’s website.
Committee are Leslie Preston, Graham
McKenzie and Eik Sheng Kwek. During
the 2023 financial year, the members
of the Remuneration Committee were
Messrs. McKenzie and Kwek. Mr McKenzie
is an Independent Director but Mr Kwek
is not. This means that MCK did not
during the 2023 financial year comply
with, recommendation 3.3 of the NZX
Code in relation to at least a majority of
the Remuneration Committee members
being Independent Directors. MCK did not
follow this recommendation because it
had previously considered the right size
of the Remuneration Committee to be
two directors and none of the members
were executive directors. No alternative
governance practice was adopted in lieu of
the recommendation during the period.
The Remuneration Committee operates
under a written charter. The Remuneration
Committee Charter is available in the
Policies and Charters section of the
Company’s website.
The Remuneration Committee did not meet
in 2023.
Employees attend meetings of the
Remuneration Committee only at the
invitation of the Committee.
Due diligence committee
In connection with the proposed acquisition
of a 50% interest by the Company in the
Sofitel Hotel in Brisbane, the Board formed
a sub-committee comprising Leslie Preston
and Graham McKenzie to oversee the
Company’s due diligence. The Due Diligence
Committee met 11 times during the 2023
financial year in connection with that
transaction.
The table below reports attendance of the
Audit Committee members during 2023:

Takeover protocols
In February 2024 as part of the Corporate
Governance Review, the Board adopted
written protocols that set out the procedure
to be followed if there is a takeover offer
for the Company (the Takeover Protocols).
During the 2023 financial year MCK did
not have established Takeover Protocols
and therefore did not comply with
recommendation 3.6 of the NZX Code. MCK
did not follow this recommendation because
the Board had previously considered receipt
of a takeover offer to be an unlikely event
given CDL Hotels Holdings New Zealand
Limited’s long-term majority shareholding
in the Company and that if CDL Hotels
Board Chair) as Chair. The current members
of the Audit Committee are Leslie Preston
(Chair), Graham McKenzie and Stuart
Harrison.
The Audit Committee operates under a
written charter. The Audit Committee
Charter is available in the Policies and
Charters section of the Company’s website.
The table below reports attendance of the
Audit Committee members during 2023:
DirectorMeetings attended in
2023
Leslie Preston4/4
Graham McKenzie4/4
Stuart Harrison4/4
As Stuart Harrison is MCK’s Managing
Director, MCK does not comply with (and
did not during the 2023 financial year
comply with) the requirement under
recommendation 3.1 of the NZX Code. That
recommendation states that the Audit
Committee should comprise solely of non-
executive directors. MCK did not follow
this recommendation because it believes
that it is preferable to have an executive
director on the Audit Committee as this
provides a direct insight into Management’s
perspective rather than a director who is
associated with the majority shareholder
or the Chair of the Board (being the only
options available to MCK given the current
Board size and composition). Given this,
no alternative governance practice was
adopted in lieu of the recommendation
during the period.
Employees (other than the Managing
Director) attend meetings of the Audit
Committee at the invitation of the
Committee only.
Remuneration Committee
The objectives of the Remuneration
Committee are to help the Board establish
coherent remuneration policies and
practices which:
• enable the Company to attract, retain
and motivate key management
personnel and Directors (executive and
non-executive) who will create value
for shareholders;
• fairly and reasonably reward senior
management of the Company
(including executive Directors) having
regard to the performance of the
Company, the performance of senior
management and the general pay
environment; and
• comply with the provisions of any
relevant legislation, the NZX Listing
Rules and any other statutory or
regulatory requirements.
The current members of the Remuneration
MILLENNIUM & COPTHORNE HOTELS NEW ZEALAND LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2023 | CG 4
PRINCIPLE 5 – REMUNERATION
The remuneration of directors and executives
should be transparent, fair and reasonable.
Director remuneration
The total pool for Directors’ Fees is capped
at $200,000 and was last approved by
shareholders in 1996. The level of fees was
last reviewed by the Board as a whole in
2019.
Non-executive directors are each entitled
to receive a base fee of NZ$38,000 per
annum. The Board Chair is entitled to
receive an annual fee of NZ $42,000 per
annum. The Chair of the Audit Committee
receives a further NZ$9,000 per annum and
member(s) of the Audit Committee each
receive an additional NZ$7,000 per annum.
Executive Directors do not receive Directors’
or Committee fees. No retirement benefits
are paid to Directors. Reasonable travel
and other costs associated with company
business are reimbursable or met by MCK.
Details of the actual director remuneration
for the 2023 financial year is set out in
Regulatory Disclosures of our 2023 Annual
Report.
The Board adopted a director remuneration
policy in March 2024 as part of the
Corporate Governance Review. The
director remuneration policy is available
in the Policies and Charters section of
the Company’s website. During the 2023
financial year MCK did not comply with the
requirement under recommendation 5.1
of the NZX Code to have a written director
remuneration policy. MCK did not follow this
recommendation because this had been dealt
with on an informal basis given the length of
time since the fee pool had been increased.
Given this, no alternative governance practice
was adopted in lieu of the recommendation
during the period.
Employee remuneration
Employee remuneration (including that
of the Managing Director and senior
management) is made up of two primary
components being a fixed component and a
short term incentive. The fixed component
comprises a base salary and other benefits
such as Kiwisaver, a contribution to health
insurance and, in some cases, use of a
company vehicle. The fixed component
is determined with reference to market
information as well as the responsibilities
of the position, experience and overall
performance.
Short term incentives are designed to reward
high performing employees with appropriate
incentives which are measured on key
performance indicators which are reviewed
and monitored regularly and based solely
on company performance. These include
meeting budget or revenue targets. The
Company reserves the right to suspend or
adjust incentives if targets are not met.
MCK does not currently have an employee
share plan or a long term incentive scheme.
All employees participate in performance
and development reviews, with end-of-
year review outcomes informing decisions
regarding remuneration adjustments in
accordance with company policy.
All employees are eligible for a range
of benefits including discounted
accommodation at MCK’s hotels in New
Zealand and Millennium & Copthorne Hotels
around the world (subject to availability).
The Board adopted an executive
remuneration policy in March 2024 as part
of the Corporate Governance Review. The
executive remuneration policy is available
in the Policies and Charters section of
the Company’s website. During the 2023
financial year MCK did not comply with the
requirement under recommendation 5.2 of
the NZX Code to have a written executive
remuneration policy. MCK did not follow
this recommendation because executive
remuneration had been dealt with on a case-
by-case basis with the relevant executive.
Given this, no alternative governance practice
was adopted in lieu of the recommendation
during the period.

PRINCIPLE 6 – RISK MANAGEMENT
Directors should have a sound understanding
of the material risks faced by the issuer
and how to manage them. The Board
should regularly verify that the issuer has
appropriate processes that identify and
manage potential and material risks.
While risks are a part of doing business, it
does need to be monitored and addressed.
MCK’s Board, Audit Committee and
Management Team all have a role in
identifying areas of risk and understanding
their impact on the Company as well as how
these areas are to be managed and mitigated
in accordance with MCK’s risk management
framework. MCK is looking at revising its risk
management framework in the course of
2024.
MCK’s Management Team is responsible for
the day-to-day identification, assessment
and management of risks applicable to the
Company as well as the implementation of
appropriate controls, processes and policies
to manage such risks. Management also
ensures that there are training programmes
in place to identify, manage, mitigate or
eliminate hazards and risks in the workplace.
The Audit Committee’s role is to review
and report to the Board on the adequacy
of Management’s oversight and
implementation of risks with particular
regard to financial and operational risks.
The Board is ultimately responsible for
the oversight and implementation of the
Company’s responses to risk management.
Descriptions of the material risks facing
MCK’s business are set out at pages CG 7 and
CG 8 of the 2023 Annual Report.
MCK has a detailed health and safety risk
and reporting framework which applies
to its hotels and support office locations.
The framework comprises policies which
detail such matters as hazard identification
and mitigation, accident reporting
procedures and general safety measures
in the workplace. Contractor induction
documentation also forms part of the
framework. The policies comprising the
framework are reviewed regularly and
training on the policies and health & safety
issues is provided to employees. Health &
Safety Committees are convened at each
hotel and support office location and meet
regularly. Each hotel and support office has
a Health & Safety Co-ordinator. Information
on incidents, accidents and trends is provided
to the senior management team and to the
Board. The information is used to monitor
any significant trends and variations, to
identify any particular areas where there
is higher risk and to allocate training and
other resources to those areas where new
or higher risks are present. MCK considers
that it manages health and safety risks to an
acceptable standard and in compliance with
its legal obligations.
CG 5 | MILLENNIUM & COPTHORNE HOTELS NEW ZEALAND LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2023
MCK has a series of internal controls in place
covering such areas as financial monitoring
and reporting, human resources and risk
management. The primary responsibility for
monitoring and reporting against internal
controls and remedying any deficiencies lies
with Management.
MCK also keeps current insurances
appropriate to its business including
directors and officers liability policies and
public liability policies with reputable global
insurers.
PRINCIPLE 7 – AUDITORS
The Board should ensure the quality and
independence of the external audit process.
External Audit plays a critical role in
ensuring the integrity of financial reporting.
The role of the external auditor is to plan
and carry out an audit of MCK’s annual
financial reports and review the half-yearly
reports. The Audit Committee reviews the
performance and independence of the
external auditors.
MCK has in place an External Auditor
Independence Policy which deals with
the provision of services by the MCK’s
external auditors, auditor rotation and the
relationships between the external auditor
and the Company. The policy states that:
The Audit Committee shall only recommend
to the Board a firm to be external auditor if
that firm:
• would be regarded by a reasonable
investor, with full knowledge of all
relevant facts and circumstances,
as capable of exercising objective
and impartial judgment on all issues
encompassed within the auditor’s
engagement;
• audit partners are members of
Chartered Accountants Australia New
Zealand (CAANZ);
• has not, within two years prior to the
commencement of the audit, had as
a member of its audit engagement
team MCK’s Managing Director, Vice
President Finance, Group Accounting
Manager, or any member of the
Company’s Management who acts in a
financial oversight role; and
• does not allow the direct
compensation of its audit partners for
selling non-audit services to MCK.
The general principles to be applied in
assessing non-audit services are as follows:
a) the external auditor should not have
any involvement in the production of
financial information or preparation
of financial statements such that they
might be perceived as auditing their
own work. This includes the provision
of bookkeeping and payroll services as
well as valuation services where such
valuation forms an input into audited
financial information;
b) the external auditor should not
perform any function of management,
or be responsible for making
management decisions;
c) the external auditor should not
be responsible for the design
or implementation of financial
information systems; and
d) the separation between internal audit
(or equivalent processes) and external
audit should be maintained.
MCK’s Audit Committee shall pre-approve
all audit and related services that are to be
provided by the auditor. Aside from core
external audit services, it is appropriate for
the MCK’s auditors to provide the following
services:
• due diligence (except valuations) on
proposed transactions;
• review of financial information where
third party verification is required or
deemed necessary (outside the normal
audit process);
• completion audits / reviews;
• financial model preparation or review;
• accounting policy advice;
• listing advice;
• accounting/technical training; and
• taxation services of an assurance
nature.
It is not considered appropriate for MCK’s
external auditors to provide:
• book keeping services related to
accounting records or financial
statements;
• tax planning and strategy services
unless specifically approved by the
Audit Committee;
• appraisal / valuation services including
opinions as to fairness;
• provision of payroll services;
• the design or implementation of
financial information systems;
• outsourced internal audit and risk
management services;
• legal services;
• management functions;
• broker / dealer / investment adviser /
investment banking services;
• advocacy for the Company;
• actuarial services; and
• assistance in the recruitment of senior
management.
These prohibitions apply to all offices of the
audit firm, including overseas offices and
affiliates.
The billing arrangements for services
provided by MCK’s external auditors should
not include any contingent fees.
MCK’s expects that its external auditors
will rigorously comply with their own
internal policies on independence and all
relevant professional guidance, including
independence rules and guidance issued by
CAANZ.
The nature of services provided by MCK’s
auditors and the level of fees incurred
should be reported to the Audit Committee
Chair semi-annually (or sooner where
requested) to enable the Committee to
perform its oversight role and report back
to the Board. MCK adopted a non-audit
services policy in 2024 and this is available
on the Company’s website.
The continued appointment of MCK’s
external auditors is confirmed annually by
the Board on recommendation from the
Audit Committee.
Rotation of the lead audit partner or firm
will be required every five years. Lead audit
partners who are rotated will be subject to
a 2 year cooling off period (i.e. 2 years must
expire between the rotation of an audit
partner and that partner’s next engagement
with the Company).
The hiring by MCK of any former lead
audit partner or audit manager must first
be approved by the Chair of the Audit
Committee. There are no other restrictions
on the hiring of other staff from the audit
firm.
KPMG are currently MCK’s external auditor
and the lead external audit engagement
partner was rotated in 2023. The current
audit partner is Geoff Lewis.
The Audit Committee monitors local and
overseas practice on auditor independence
regularly to ensure that this policy remains
consistent with best practice and meets
MCK’s requirements.
MCK’s external auditors also attend the
Company’s Annual Meeting to answer any
questions from shareholders as to the audit
and the content of the Annual Report.
Internal Audit
MCK does not currently have an internal
audit function but does maintain a detailed
set of processes and procedures covering its
operations and financial controls which are
reviewed and updated regularly.
PRINCIPLE 8 – SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS &
COMMUNICATION
The Board should respect the rights of
shareholders and foster constructive
relationships with shareholders that
encourage them to engage with the issuer.
MCK is committed to providing shareholders
and stakeholders with timely information
on its activities and performance. MCK does
this through a number of channels including:
• announcements in accordance with
continuous disclosure as required
under the Listing Rules;
• publication of the company’s annual
and interim reports which are sent to
all shareholders; and
MILLENNIUM & COPTHORNE HOTELS NEW ZEALAND LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2023 | CG 6
• encouraging shareholders to attend
the Annual Meeting in May of each
year (either in person or online) to hear
the Chair and the Managing Director
provide updates on the company’s
performance, ask questions of the
Board and vote on the resolutions
to be determined at the meeting.
Resolutions at shareholder meetings
are usually determined by poll where
each ordinary shareholder has one vote
per share.
Relevant communications, copies of annual
reports and key corporate governance
documents and policies are now available
on a dedicated webpage http://mckhotels.
co.nz/investors/
Shareholders have the option to receive
communications from the issuer
electronically.
Shareholders also receive a discount card
for use at MCK’s hotels within New Zealand
which provides them with a discount off the
Best Available Rate (subject to availability).
The Company did not put the notice of
meeting for its 2023 Annual Shareholders
Meeting on its website at least 20 working
days prior to the meeting as required by
recommendation 8.5 of the NZX Code, but
the notice of meeting was despatched to
shareholders, and announced to NZX, at
least 20 working days prior to the meeting.
Given these matters, no alternative
governance practice was adopted in lieu
of the recommendation during the period.
MCK intends that all future notices of annual
or special meetings of MCK shareholders will
be posted on its website as soon as possible
and at least 20 working days prior to the
relevant meeting.
CG 7 | MILLENNIUM & COPTHORNE HOTELS NEW ZEALAND LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2023
OUTLINE OF MATERIAL
RISKS:
Risk AreaHow MCK addresses this risk
Markets and Competition
Although MCK is located in and operates within New Zealand which is a small market, it is
nonetheless exposed to various levels of event risks in global economies, as well as in financial
and property markets. The Group’s principal business operations, comprising property
development, property investment and hotel operations, face significant competition
across the markets within which they operate. A failure to meet the market or remain
competitive could affect MCK’s operational and financial position as it loses market share
to its competitors, thus affecting its revenues and potentially its ability to make necessary
investments in its business for the future.
In order to mitigate global risks, we constantly monitor market trends and developments and
develop strategies to respond to the changing conditions. We conduct customer surveys and
obtain other guest feedback to ensure that our service delivery and physical products remains
attractive and competitive in the marketplace and make changes where the feedback warrants
it. We aim to diversify our exposure to international and domestic markets by targeted marketing
and revenue management and invest in our properties and service delivery to ensure that the
customer experience is a positive one.
Climate Change
Climate impact is expected to affect the hospitality and accommodation sectors in a variety
of ways. It is imperative to review both their operations and development to see how climate-
positive improvements can be incorporated in all aspects. Our locations are likely to be
affected by climate change and sea level rise. Recent weather incidents have also affected our
operations with impacts to the properties themselves as well as access to and from our hotels.
While MCK has monitored its environmental impact in a number of ways over many years, with the
mandatory climate-related financial disclosures regime now in place it is looking to evolve and
improve its responses to these risks. Having set 2023 as its baseline year for reporting purposes
and having appointed Toitu Envirocare to assist with the analysis of emissions and other carbon
data, MCK is looking to set targets for carbon reduction using a science-based target in the near
future. MCK will also look for opportunities to include more environmentally friendly technologies
within its hotels.
As part of its reporting processes, MCK is using the Task Force on Climate-related Financial
Disclosures (TCFD) recommendations to outline its responses. Future work will include monitoring
of MCK’s supply chain and increase its ESG communications to shareholders and stakeholders.
For more information, please refer to MCK’s Climate-Related Disclosures.
Brand and Reputation
MCK’s brand and reputation are highly valuable assets and the industry it is in is people-
focused. Adverse events which affect MCK’s brand and reputation can also affect MCK’s
revenues as customers and guests choose other companies with which to do business.
We monitor our reputation and brand in the market by checking traditional and social media
platforms, responding to and managing any complaints which may be received and seek to raise
the profile of our brands through marketing campaigns and strategic partnerships. We aim to
avoid any situations that could result in a negative impact on our reputation and brand. We
engage in dialogue with our stakeholders and customers in an open and transparent way.
Liquidity / Solvency
Financial risks could affect MCK in many ways, both due to external and internal causes. For
example, they could arise from a lower level of visitors to New Zealand and to MCK’s hotels,
external events over which MCK has little or no control over or other factors.
MCK’s ability to trade depends on its ability to manage its financial situation optimally to
ensure that it has sufficient liquidity and solvency to maintain its business.
MCK manages its financial and solvency risks by continuously monitoring its financial performance
and cashflow and ensures that it maintains sufficient financial resources to carry out its
operations and any projects that are undertaken. MCK has in place bank funding arrangements
with global banking institutions and carefully monitors compliance with its lending covenants.
MCK also takes a conservative approach to its capital management and taxation planning.
MILLENNIUM & COPTHORNE HOTELS NEW ZEALAND LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2023 | CG 8
Workforce
As a customer-focused hospitality business, MCK faces significant risk if it is unable to employ
a sufficient number of people to maintain its workforce. An inability to retain talented staff
would result in a loss of historic / collective knowledge and would also be disruptive. The risk
of industrial action would also result in disruption to MCK’s operations. All of these factors
have an impact on MCK’s corporate reputation.
MCK’s Human Resources team has a presence around New Zealand in key operational locations
and supports MCK’s hotels and support offices by providing advice, training and policies to the
business.
Future initiatives in the pipeline include employee engagement surveys to obtain more detailed
feedback and address employee concerns to make MCK a better workplace and a revamp of
its recruitment policies to ensure that MCK is able to attract and retain suitably qualified and
experienced staff across its operations. In 2023, a leadership development programme was
started for the senior leadership team to foster talent with the aim to extend the programme to
hotel General Managers and their reports.
Remuneration is benchmarked and reviewed to ensure that it is competitive.
Health and Safety
Ensuring the health and safety of our employees and customers is essential for our business to
succeed. The nature of our business means that there are numerous risks across our business
which might result in harm to an employee or guest.
We have a comprehensive set of health and safety policies and risk registers in place that identify
and categorise risks in the workplace. We monitor health and safety incidents and results at each
workplace and provide health and safety training to keep our people safe at work. We also have
an employee assistance programme through EAP Services Limited to help with employee’s mental
health and counselling where required.
Business Disruption
A local or global event which affects the movement of people (both employees and guests) has
the potential to be highly disruptive to our business. The impact of such an event, sustained or
not, could affect on our operations, revenue and cashflow and our reputation.
MCK has a range of policies across its business which would be used to respond to an emergency
situation or natural disaster. Training of staff to respond to incidents is also conducted
periodically.
MCK also has insurance cover for its buildings and for business interruption.
Project Management
Risks arise in some of the following ways: schedule delay, cost overrun, building defects,
contractor’s performance, as well as contract disputes, that could impact our operations and
sales.
MCK manages this risk by ensuring that there is sufficient oversight and review of all projects. This
can take the form of oversight by its Property Management team or engaging external assistance
where necessary. Together with external consultants such as engineers and quantity surveyors,
MCK imposes an assessment and monitoring process to identify and manage the key risks for each
project. Stringent evaluation and tendering procedures apply to all projects to ensure that the
best-qualified vendors are appointed. Regular site visits are also conducted to closely monitor the
progress of projects and manage potential risks of delays, defects and cost overruns.
Technology
Technology is a critical element to ensuring that MCK is able to operate its business effectively.
The risks to MCK include compromise of those business-critical systems, cybersecurity
incidents, maintaining data it holds securely, ensuring that its systems remain fit for purposes
and adapt to business and customer needs.
To mitigate these and other risks, MCK invests in its hardware and software platforms across its
network and has a dedicated Information Technology team which supports MCK’s networks and
operations and deals with cybersecurity threats. Disaster recovery planning and penetration
testing is done to ensure the security and resilience of our network and systems. External experts
and partners are engaged as required to improve our system resiliency.
Legal, Regulatory
and Compliance
MCK is subject to political and policy risks, such as new or amended public policies, statutory
and regulatory requirements. MCK is exposed to legal and reputational damage resulting from
breach of law or civil actions.
MCK manages these risks by monitoring changes to laws and regulations and engaging with
Government or regulatory bodies on such changes. We amend our strategies and policies to meet
these changes. MCK manages legal risk by monitoring and reporting significant litigation and
disputes to the Board and seeking advice from our external lawyers. Insurers will be involved
where necessary.

CLIMATE RELATED DISCLOSURES
Introduction and compliance statement:
This is MCK’s first reporting period under
the Aotearoa New Zealand Climate
Standards . In relation to the Adoption
Provisions outlined in the Standards
1
, MCK
advises that it has used:
• Adoption Provision 1 which provides
an exemption in the first reporting
period from the requirements to
disclose the current financial impacts
of its physical and transition impacts
and (if relevant) an explanation as to
why quantitative information cannot
be disclosed;
• Adoption Provision 2 which provides
an exemption in the first reporting
period from the requirements to
disclose the anticipated financial
impacts of climate-related risks
and opportunities, a description of
the time horizons over which the
anticipated financial impacts could
reasonably be expected to occur, and
(if relevant) an explanation as to why
quantitative information cannot be
disclosed;
• Adoption Provision 3, which provides
an exemption in the first reporting
period from the requirements to
disclose the transition plan aspects
of an entity’s strategy, including
how its business model and strategy
might change to address its climate-
related risks and opportunities, and
how the transition plan aspects of its
strategy are aligned with its internal
capital deployment and funding
decision making processes;
• Adoption Provision 4, which
provides an exemption from the
requirement to disclose scope 3
GHG emissions in the first reporting
period. The categories of scope
3 emissions excluded from this
Statement are: purchased goods and
services, capital goods, upstream
transportation and distribution,
upstream leased assets, downstream
transportation and distribution,
processing of sold products, use of
sold products, end-of-life treatment
of sold products, downstream leased
assets, franchises, and investments,
in its first reporting period under this
regime.
• Adoption Provision 5, which provides
for comparative information
in relation to the immediately
preceding two reporting periods.
2023 is MCK’s base year and
therefore it does not have
comparative information for Scope
3 emissions which would allow it to
report and disclose for preceding
reporting periods.
• Adoption Provision 6, which provides
an exemption in the first reporting
period from the requirement to
disclose comparative information for
metrics the immediately preceding
two reporting periods. 2023 is MCK’s
base year and therefore it does not
have comparative information for its
metrics.
• Adoption Provision 7, which provides
an exemption in the first reporting
period from the requirement to
disclose an analysis of the main
trends evident from a comparison of
each metric from previous reporting
periods to the current reporting
period.

applied, MCK complies with the
Standards.
Summary of MCK’s Value Chain and
business:
MCK’s primary businesses is the ownership
and operation of hotels in New Zealand.
We have been in business for over
twenty five years and we trade under the
Millennium / Grand Millennium, M Social,
Copthorne and Kingsgate brands.
Currently, we have a portfolio of 18 hotels
across New Zealand from the Bay of

. Our hotels
are located in New Zealand’s key gateway
cities and we take pride in hosting a wide
variety of conferences, meetings and other
gatherings at our properties.
1. The Aotearoa New Zealand Climate Standards comprise NZ CS1, NZCS 2 and NZ CS3. For the purposes of this report, these will collectively be referred to as “the Standards”.
2. Four hotels have been excluded from the GHG emissions boundary being Grand Millennium Auckland, Millennium Hotel & Resort Manuels Taupo, Copthorne Hotel & Resort Solway
Park Wairarapa and Kingsgate Hotel Paihia. MCK or its subsidiaries do not have ownership control and the GHG emissions are accounted for by the relevant ownership entities.
MCK is also engaged in:
• The development and sale of
residential land in New Zealand
(through our majority-owned
subsidiary CDL Investments New
Zealand Limited [“CDI”];
• The development and sale of
residential units in Australia (Zenith
Residences, Sydney);
• The ownership and management
(through a 50-50 joint venture) of a
hotel in Australia (Sofitel Brisbane
Central).
Our mission is to become the hotel chain
which everyone recommends to their
family, friends and colleagues. We pride
ourselves of our hospitality and levels of
service no matters which of our hotels you
stay at.
Millennium & Copthorne Hotels New
Zealand Limited (“MCK”) is conscious
that shareholders and stakeholders
want all companies to assess the impact
that their business has on the wider
environment. Doing so requires a focus
on our environmental and social impacts,
stating what our value chain is and looking
at creating a sustainable value chain
throughout our operations.
Our approach has always been to ensure
that we contribute to the betterment
of the wider environment, to use our
resources as thoughtfully as possible
and to maximize the sustainability
of our operations. We seek constant
improvement in all of our activities and we
also maintain a long term horizon for our
investments and for generating value.

Our value chain

:
TCFD Framework disclosures:
As well as reporting against the Standards,
this report is our first public disclosure
aligned to the Task Force on Climate-
Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD)
framework.
Climate impact is expected to affect the
hospitality and accommodation sectors
in a variety of ways. As hotels consume
high levels of water and energy in
their daily operations and use carbon-
unfriendly materials in their construction,
it is imperative to review both their
operations and development to see how
climate-positive improvements can be
incorporated in all aspects. Our locations,
particularly in touristic / resort / seaward-
facing areas are likely to be affected by
climate change and sea level rise. Recent
weather incidents have also affected our
operations with impacts to the properties
themselves as well as access to and from
our hotels.
Increasingly, our guests are wanting
to ensure that their stay has a minimal
impact on the environment, and we
are being encouraged to make positive
statements to show how we are helping
reduce carbon consumption and our
emissions and helping to be climate
positive.
Climate –related governance:
MCK’s board’s oversight of climate-related
risks and opportunities and Management’s
role in assessing and managing climate-
related risks and opportunities is as
follows:
• MCK’s Board has ultimate
responsibility for overseeing the
management of risks, which include
risks related to climate change.
• The Board of MCK is committed
to introducing and integrating
sustainability across key aspects of its
business and advancing sustainability
efforts overall.
• The Board as a whole has oversight
of the current sustainability strategy
and identifying ESG issues and in time
will set sustainability targets and will
oversee sustainability reporting. The
Board also oversees progress against
MCK climate-related goals and will
ensure that targets are tracked and
progressed
4
. As part of its role in
determining strategy, the Board will
also consider climate-related risks as
part of future strategy.
• MCK’s Board does not currently have
a director with specialist knowledge
of climate issues although several
directors are aware of sustainability
frameworks. To expand its knowledge,
a workshop with Toitu Envirocare
was held in 2023 to provide the Audit
Committee in particular with a better
understanding of climate risks and
opportunities. The Board believes
that it has a sufficient number of
directors who have knowledge and
experience of risk management
generally and who are able to

Scenario Analysis:
NZ CS 1 requires reporting entities to
make disclosures of various climate
change scenarios and the impacts of those
scenarios on our business. The essence of
the scenarios is to address some of the
following questions and issues:
• How does climate change affect our
sector and our company?
• What are the critical uncertainties on
our assets, operation, strategy and
business model, and the potential
impact on our prospects that our
sector and our company need to
prepare for?
• Are we prepared for those
5. Please also refer to the Corporate Governance Statement in this Annual Report (pages X to Y) which should be read together with these disclosures. MCK has recently completed a
comprehensive review of its corporate governance policies and these are published on its website www.mckhotels.co.nz

uncertainties and how are we
addressing them as part of our risk
management?
• What are the resiliency options, if
any? What is our plan to transition
toward a low-emissions and climate-
resilient future?
No company can predict the future and
solve all of the questions that we need to
address. The objective is to identify risk
and opportunities and uncertainties, aim
to mitigate if possible and to develop a
future path for our company in a world
that is affected by climate change.
As 2023 is our base year, our scenario
analysis was done on a basic level
internally, is a narrative-driven analysis
but not fully detailed. The financial impact
of the scenario assessments we have done
to date is yet to be quantified. With the
information we have gathered as part of
the GHG assessment and audit, we expect
to do more detailed work in 2024 and to
provide more detailed analysis as part of
future disclosures. Future analysis will
incorporate external advice.
For our 2023 scenario modelling, we
have used data from the International
Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 5th and
6th Assessment Reports and the AR6
Synthesis Report: Climate Change 2023
6
which was published by the IPCC in March
2023 to provide some metrics and key
assumptions. We have also had regard to
some of the scenario modelling data which
was developed and used by The Aotearoa
Circle
7
and the Climate Change scenarios
for New Zealand published by the National
Institute of Water and Atmospheric
Research (NIWA)
8
including their New
Zealand findings from the IPCC 5th
Assessment Report
9
. We have also referred
to the Ministry for the Environment’s
“Aotearoa New Zealand climate change
projections guidance”
10
.
Key underlying assumptions:
• Global surface temperature has
increased faster since 1970 than in
any other 50-year period over at least
the last 2000 years;
• Widespread and rapid changes in the
atmosphere, ocean and biosphere
have already occurred. Human-caused
climate change is already affecting
many weather and climate extremes
in every region across the globe.
This has led to widespread adverse
impacts and related losses and
damages to nature and people;
• Global mean sea level increased by
0.20 metres between 1901 and 2018
and the average rate of sea level rise
was an average of 3.7 mm per year
between 2006 and 2018 For New
Zealand, this could mean an increase
in sea level rise of between 0.2m to
0.32m depending on the extent of
global warming ;
• Climate change has reduced food
security and affected water security,
hindering efforts to meet the UN’s
Sustainable Development Goals. On
most scenarios being modelled, New
Zealand could see population growth
from between 16% to 26% which
could be similar to global population
growth trends of between 8% to 16%;
• In urban areas, observed climate
change has caused adverse impacts
on human health, livelihoods and key
infrastructure. Urban infrastructure,
including transportation, water,
sanitation and energy systems have
been compromised by extreme and
slow-onset events;
• Global warming will continue to
increase in the near term (2021–
2040) mainly due to increased
cumulative CO2 emissions. In the near
term, global warming is more likely
than not to reach 1.5°C even under a
very low GHG emission scenario and
likely or very likely to exceed 1.5°C
under higher emissions scenarios;
• Risks and projected adverse impacts
and related losses and damages from
climate change will escalate with
every increment of global warming.
For New Zealand, the number of
extreme heat days could increase to
between 15 to 30 additional such
days and in certain area of New
Zealand there will be changes to
rainfall patterns and flooding is likely
to increase. Fire weather indices are
also projected to increase in many
parts of the country ;
• For any given future warming level,
many climate-related risks are likely
to be higher than assessed and
projected long-term impacts are
also likely to be much greater than
currently observed;
• Reaching net zero CO2 or GHG
emissions primarily requires deep and
rapid reductions in gross emissions of
CO2, as well as substantial reductions
of non-CO2 GHG emissions;
• Climate change is therefore a threat
to human well-being and planetary
health. There is a rapidly closing
window of opportunity to secure a
liveable and sustainable future
for all.
MILLENNIUM & COPTHORNE HOTELS NEW ZEALAND LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2023 | CG 12
For our 2023 modelling, we have defined
the Near Term as being 2023 to 2030, Mid
Term to be 2031 to 2050 and Long Term to
be 2051 onwards. We also define “physical
risks” as those which primarily arise due
to climate impacts such as weather and
warming and “transition risks” as risks
which result from the transition to either
a lower carbon environment or a higher
carbon environment.
1.5°C scenario
A 1.5 degree scenario assumes that
a pathway to global sustainability is
achievable but assumes global warming
continues due to increased GHG emissions.
Given the assumptions from the IPCC, in
the near term, global warming is more
likely than not to reach 1.5°C even under
the very low GHG emission scenario. This
is therefore the most optimistic scenario
but is not guaranteed and the effects of
global warming will continue to be felt in
any event.
For New Zealand, this will likely mean
that there will still be extreme weather
events which are likely to require
infrastructure responses. As stated above,
our assumption is that there will continue
to be climate and weather patterns shifts
and disruptions.
Physical Risks:
• Responses to extreme weather events
such as flooding / natural disasters:
in this scenario, our assumptions are
that there will be a need to respond
to some additional extreme weather
events. We will need to be able to
have plans to respond to guest needs
and our own staff and business needs
and to update or redraft our business
continuity / response plans should an
event arise. While no two events are
the same, in our assumptions we would
expect a level of guest disruption with
delays or compromised infrastructure or
disruption to transportation networks.
While ad hoc responses have worked in
the past, additional work and modelling
would need to be done on how we
could employ our nationwide / regional
networks to have hotels in the same or
proximate locations assist one another
to accommodate guest disruption in
such an event.
• Building maintenance costs:
Maintenance costs are likely to increase
in at least two ways – there will be the
costs of conducting maintenance and
repairs after an event and there will be
costs incurred to implement proactive
measures before weather events
happen. The extent and impact of both
sets of costs is yet to be modelled and
is a complicated exercise given the
diversity of hotel properties MCK has.
• Revenue loss : Weather events and
natural disasters can lead to revenue
loss in several ways. Damage to the
property may mean that guests may
need to be moved to other rooms while
repairs are carried out and future
reservations may need to cancelled for
a period of time if repairs are ongoing.
Conversely, there may be opportunities
for properties which are in better
condition or are designed to withstand
weather events to make revenue gains.
This is not something we have currently
modelled but will be looking to do so in
the future.
Transition Risks:
•
Energy costs: we would assume in this
scenario that there would be a moderate
but periodic increases in energy costs
to power infrastructure such as air
conditioning and other building systems
to combat hotter days and colder winter
temperatures. Higher demand would
likely add pressure on existing networks
with the potential to lead to disruptions
and possibly failures. Conversely,
there would be an increasing focus
on maximising energy efficiency and
looking at alternative sources of power
to reduce costs where practicable. Other
pressures could arise from a greater
number of electric / hybrid vehicles but
the recent change of government policy
in this area makes forecasting future
trends difficult.
• Insurance premium increases: in this
scenario, we would likely face increasing
but still accessible insurance premiums
generally but with differential premiums
or allowances for certain particular
properties based on an estimated
increasing frequency of weather
events. This may be similar to the way
that insurers estimate and allow for
earthquake risk now. For properties
that are affected or deemed likely to
be affected by climatic events, there is
the risk that they may find insurance
more costly than now and in some
cases where incidents are frequent and
there is a loss history, insurance may
be curtailed in some way either due to
the deductible / excess imposed or by
the policy response terms. Alternative
options such as self-insurance may need
to be considered for those sites. To date,
MCK continues to have full replacement
cover for its portfolio and its insurance
premiums are manageable.
• Increased environmental obligations:
in this scenario, we are assuming that
there may likely be pressures to reduce
emissions and other impactful activities.
Imposition of charges for emissions
might occur but how these are
structured is not known and uncertain.
Policy in this area is unclear and
assessing the potential financial risk is
tricky when there are several unknown
issues.
2.0°C scenario
A 2.0 degree scenario assumes that a
pathway to global sustainability is not
achievable and the effects of climate
change increase over the mid-term to long
term and the currently seen effects are
exacerbated. The IPCC believes that it is
very likely that global warming will exceed
1.5°C and that this therefore assumes
a higher emissions scenario which is
described as “disorderly”.
We assume that New Zealand will see
an increase in extreme weather events
and increased vulnerability to assets
and infrastructure. As a result, we
would expect to see changes in policy
and investment to cope or counter such
vulnerabilities and an increased focus on
population protections.
Physical Risks:
• Responses to extreme weather events
such as flooding: in this scenario, our
assumptions are that there will be a
need to respond to many more extreme
weather events. We will need to be able
to have plans to respond to guest needs
and our own staff and business needs
and to update or redraft our business
continuity / response plans should an
event arise. While no two events are
the same, in our assumptions we would
expect a level of guest disruption with
delays or compromised infrastructure or
disruption to transportation networks.
While ad hoc responses have worked in
the past, additional work and modelling
would need to be done on how we
could employ our nationwide / regional
networks to have hotels in the same or
proximate locations assist one another
to accommodate guest disruption in
such an event.
• Building maintenance costs:
Maintenance costs are likely to
increase in several ways. With more
adverse events, it follows that there
will be post event maintenance and
proactive maintenance to combat the
effects of the adverse events. Further
infrastructure or design changes might
be required to mitigate future effects
which could add to capital costs. The
extent and impact of such costs is yet to
be modelled by MCK.
• Revenue loss: in this scenario, we
assume that there will likely be an
increased probability of revenue
loss above and beyond occasional
disruption. Damage to the property
may mean that guests may need to be
re-accommodated either on site or at
other properties and future reservations
may need to cancelled for a period of
time if repairs are ongoing. This is not
something we have currently modelled
but will be looking to do so in the future.
Transition Risks:
• Energy costs: we would assume in this
scenario that there would be a moderate
but continuous increases in energy
costs to power infrastructure such as
air conditioning and other building
systems to combat extreme heat days
and colder winter temperatures. Higher
demand would likely add pressure on
existing networks with the potential
to lead to disruptions and possibly
failures. Conversely, there would be an
increasing focus on maximising energy
efficiency and looking at alternative
sources of power to reduce costs where
practicable.
• Insurance premium increases: in this
scenario, we would likely face the issue
of increasing insurance premiums for
certain particular properties based on
an increasing frequency of weather
events. For properties that are affected
or deemed likely to be affected by
climatic events, there is the risk that
they may find insurance very costly,
only available under strict policy terms
or potentially unavailable if insurers
decline to take on the insurable risks. In
such an event, alternative options
CG 13 | MILLENNIUM & COPTHORNE HOTELS NEW ZEALAND LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2023
such as self-insurance may need to be
considered.
• Increased environmental obligations:
in this scenario, we are assuming
that there may likely be pressures to
structurally decarbonise or likely pay for
the emissions which are made above a
mandated threshold in order to try and
limit or reduce emissions. As policy in
this area is changing and debate on such
measures such as congestion charging is
restarting, there is no clarity on how to
assess the potential financial risk when
there are several unknown issues.
• Market uncertainty: As costs rise and
are forecast to increase, they will
have a corresponding impact on the
profitability of our businesses. Under
a 2.0 Degree scenario, while this may
cause the viability of some properties
to be called into question, we have
assumed that MCK is able to continue
to do business, however to what extent
has not yet been modelled. The financial
impact of a 2.0 Degree scenario has not
yet been modelled.
3.0°C scenario
A 3.0 degree scenario assumes that
the wider environment is seriously
degraded with continued global warming
intensifying the global water cycle
resulting in more dramatic climate
events (wet and dry), more variable or
extreme events such as storms, cyclones
or hurricanes, a reduction in the ability
of land and ocean carbon sinks to absorb
emissions and further global mean sea-
level rise and other detrimental effects on
the land and ocean environments.
Often described as a “hot house world”
scenario, there will very likely be severe
physical impacts of climate changes
evidenced by significant sea level rise,
rainfall intensity and a further increase
in the number of extreme heat days. Such
events could have cascading effects into
areas such as agriculture and horticulture.
Social and response services and critical
infrastructure would be put under severe
pressure. “Climate refugees” to New
Zealand could further exacerbate this
scenario.
Physical Risks:
• Responses to extreme weather events
such as flooding and extreme heat
days: for 2023, we have not been able
to model what this scenario looks like
for our businesses. This will be the
subject of future work. The reason is
because under such a scenario, there
could be an existential threat to some
of our locations if such extreme events
cause a level of disruption or damage to
render a property unusable or unviable.
If that is correct, such a scenario
would have a material impact to the
business. Because the scenario will vary
accordingly to location, the potential
financial impact will vary accordingly.
• Building maintenance costs: in a similar
way to the responses to extreme
weather events, we would assume
under this scenario that increased
maintenance would be an automatic
assumption. The question we are
looking to address is whether any level
of maintenance even at an increased
tempo would be sufficient. Future
modelling will look at such a scenario.
• Revenue loss: The potential level of
revenue loss will depend on the extent
and location of the hotels affected and
will vary depending on season. At an
extreme end, the extent of revenue
loss caused by one major or a series of
extreme events could potentially cause
the viability of a property or properties
to be unviable. Future modelling will
consider such possibilities and their
impacts.
Transition Risks:
• Energy costs: we would assume in this
scenario that there would be a steep
increase in energy costs to power
infrastructure such as air conditioning
and other building systems. Higher
demand would inevitably add pressure
on constrained networks leading to
increased failures. Conversely, there
would be a strong focus on maximising
energy efficiency and looking at
alternative sources of power to reduce
costs where practicable.
• Insurance premium increases /
insurance availability: if more
frequent weather events continue to
be prevalent, a sustained amount of
loss incidents could cause insurance
to be severely priced or potentially
unavailable. This would affect all of
our properties. If insurance became
too costly, then options such as self-
insurance or parametric cover would
need to be considered.
• Increased environmental obligations
such as GHG pricing: in this scenario,
we are assuming that there will be
mandatory demands to structurally
decarbonise or likely pay for the
emissions which are made above a
mandated threshold in order to try and
limit or reduce emissions. With no clear
guidance on the financial impact of
such measures, forecasting the impacts
is very difficult and leads into the
uncertainty risk below.
• Further market uncertainty: As
highlighted above, a combination
of increased structural costs and
obligations could have a material
financial impact on our businesses.
How viable tourism / accommodation
and land development would be in such
a scenario is difficult to model, much
less predict. Given the fact that MCK’s
business is not solely limited to hotels /
accommodation alone and has exposure
to property development through CDL
Investments, calculating the financial
impact is very difficult.
Climate related opportunities:
Where there are risks, there is usually
space for opportunities. In the course of
measuring our GHGs in 2023, we identified
a number of areas which could constitute
potential opportunities which we will
consider exploring in the future as we look
to reduce our impact on the environment.
These include:
• Developing plans for increased
efficiencies in hotel buildings: these
could take the form of reviewing the
boilers, HVAC and other systems and
looking at their energy consumption
and efficiency. The benefits would lie in
a reduction of direct and indirect costs
such as maintenance over the long term,
higher guest satisfaction and potential
for increased revenue as a result. This
is an opportunity that can be explored
now and does not have to wait for a 2.0
degree or 3.0 degree scenario.
• Installing and using lower emission
sources of energy: although the
installation costs might be higher in
the short term, over the longer term, a
reduction in exposure to direct energy
prices and the fluctuations of the
spot market could be avoided. These
systems could also help reduce overall
emissions. An associated issue would be
to look at energy storage which could
also help reduce overall / longer term
costs. This is also an opportunity that
can be explored now and does not have
to wait for a 2.0 degree or 3.0 degree
scenario.
• Reducing water use: with increasing
demand for water and higher
infrastructure costs forecast, a
reduction in water consumption / use
would see a reduction in operating
costs to the business. This is another
opportunity that can be explored now
and does not have to wait for a 2.0
degree or 3.0 degree scenario.
• Using more environmentally friendly /
more efficient modes of transport: this
would result in a reduction of direct
emissions and a reduction of operating
and fuel costs. We have already
transitioned to lower emissions vehicles
and looking at additional options.
• Devising lower carbon offerings
(products and services): with consumer
awareness on packaging, the cost and
impact of importing and transporting
food and other products and an
increasing understanding of the supply
and value chain, product and service
offerings could be developed which
could be considered to be low carbon
/ low impact on the environment. One
potential benefit could be that local
businesses and producers could be
better supported as a result. This is
also an opportunity that we are keen to
explore in the immediate future.
• Increasing overall resiliency: as issues
arise with infrastructure and services
where investment is sub-optimal or
unlikely, solutions to mitigate risk
through self-provision of certain
services or infrastructure could be
beneficial. One example is installing
batteries in areas where the power
supply is degrading or unreliable. This is
also an opportunity that we can start to
explore now and as part of our planning
for a 2.0 degree or 3.0 degree scenario.
MILLENNIUM & COPTHORNE HOTELS NEW ZEALAND LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2023 | CG 14
Risk Management
MCK is in the process of reviewing its
risk management framework and we
anticipate that a new framework will
be adopted in the second half of 2024.
When implemented, we expect the
new framework to identify and assess
the impact of risks across our business
including climate related risks. Currently,
climate-specific risks are not considered
in isolation, rather they are considered as
part of MCK’s overall risk framework.
In 2023, MCK engaged Toitu Envirocare
(“Toitu”) as its external advisory firm to
assist with the identification of risks and
measurement of its Greenhouse Gas (GHG)
emissions. In 2023, Toitu also conducted
an audit to ISO 14064-3:2019 standards of
MCK’s GHG emissions. As part of its base
year work, MCK is incorporating climate-
related risks into the risk framework and
in terms of time horizons will also be
using the definitions under its scenario
modelling
11
.
In our Outline of Material Risks on CG
7 - CG 8, we acknowledge that climate
impact is expected to affect the hospitality
and accommodation sectors in a variety
of ways. This means that we must review
our operations and development to see
whether climate-positive improvements
can be incorporated throughout our
business.
We know that our hotel and office
locations are likely to be affected
by climate change in some way and
will therefore have both physical
and transition risks. As an example,
severe weather incidents such as those
experienced in 2023 have already shown
us how our land holdings and development
operations can be impacted by flooding
and infrastructure pressures causing
delays to our project timelines and also
potentially increasing costs. Putting in
place contingency plans for short term
physical risks has been a priority over the
last year.
For these Climate Related Disclosures,
we understand that physical risks are
those relating to the physical impacts of
climate change, including via temperature,
rainfall, storms, extreme weather events,
and sea-level rise. Transition risks on
the other hand are those related to
transitioning to a climate-resilient
environment and economy both at the
global and regional level. Thus, these
would include policy, legal, technology,
market and reputation changes associated
with the mitigation and adaptation
requirements relating to climate change.
An additional immediate transition
risk arises out of compliance with the
Standards. Given that this is the first year
of reporting, we do not know exactly what
the wider market and the regulator expect
from these disclosures. As expectations
and guidance become clearer, MCK will
look to refine and expand its disclosures
accordingly. In addition, additional costs
associated with compliance such as the
engagement of external consultants, the
audit of GHG emissions and additional
time and resource expended internally to
collate and process the data were incurred
in 2023. Additional cost increases in this
area are likely to continue for the short
term as additional advice is sought and
additional reporting undertaken.
While MCK allocates funds to complete
repairs and maintenance at its hotels
within its annual budget planning
processes, no specific amounts were
allocated to climate related risks or
opportunities in 2023. We have not yet
determined the amount or percentage
of assets or business activities which are
vulnerable to transition risks. This will be
the subject of further assessment work to
be carried out. As modelling is yet to be
completed, MCK has not yet set an internal
emission price per metric tonne of CO2e
used internally.
While we have not yet seen any changes
to regulations as a result of those weather
events affecting our property holdings,
future changes cannot be discounted.
This may be a factor when looking at new
or potential acquisitions in the future,
particularly if decisions are made to
build or significantly refurbish existing
or new hotels. Those risks are mid term
transition risks. In 2024, more work will
be done to refine mid-term and long term
physical and transition risks as we obtain
and refine more information about our
environmental impact. MCK is not aware
of any specific industry-based metrics for
New Zealand hotels and accommodation
that is it is currently able to utilise.
11. “Near Term” is being 2023 to 2030, “Mid Term” is between 2031 to 2050 and “Long Term” is 2051 onwards.
CG 15 | MILLENNIUM & COPTHORNE HOTELS NEW ZEALAND LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2023
Strategy
Given that 2023 is our base year and additional work will need to
be done to fully map out our climate-related strategy, MCK is not
disclosing a transition plan that would meet the requirements of
NZ CS 1 and has applied Adoption Provision 3 of the Standards
which provides an exemption in the first reporting period from the
requirements to disclose the transition plan aspects of an entity’s
strategy.
In 2024, MCK is aiming to develop its transition plan which is
expected to contain short and long term emissions reduction
targets. Outside of the transition plan, MCK has adopted the
United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (the “UN SDGs”)
as a point of reference to assist with identifying areas that need
to be included as part of its wider sustainability strategy. To date,
MCK has identified the following UN SDGs and material topics:
Relevant UN SDGMaterial Topics
4: Quality Education
• Talent attraction, development and retention
5: Gender equality
• Equal opportunity employer
• Promotion of diversity throughout MCK
• Talent attraction, development and retention
6: Clean water and sanitation
• Water management and efficiency
7: Affordable and clean energy
• Climate change
• Energy efficiency
• Renewable energy
8: Decent Work and Economic Growth
• Economic contribution to society
• Workplace safety
11: Sustainable Cities and Communities
• Responsible investment
• Local community impact
12: Responsible consumption and production

16: Peace, justice and strong institutions
• Business ethics and anti-corruption
• Cyber security and data governance
MILLENNIUM & COPTHORNE HOTELS NEW ZEALAND LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2023 | CG 16
MCK aims to include as many of the SDGs as practicable and
relevant in future materiality assessments.
As well as the climate related opportunities detailed above, we
also identified the following areas which we believe need to be
addressed as part of our future strategy. These are:
Waste reduction/ recycling
Emissions reductions
Staff Engagement
• Waste reduction / recycling: MCK’s environmental journey
started with a waste reduction/ recycling initiative and its
initial Environmental Policy was centred around this issue.
We have been working on a number of waste reduction
measures at all of our hotels and we have worked to
align our operations with external benchmarking criteria.
All of our hotels have measures in place in relation to
reducing food waste and recycling programmes for paper,
glassware and plastics. The housekeeping, maintenance
and engineering and Food & Beverage teams are all actively
involved in monitoring and improving these programmes.
• Emissions reductions: In 2023 we have been developing
our understanding of our emissions footprint, how we can
reduce our emissions and carbon footprint and what this
means for our business. At this stage, we have not set a
target for carbon reduction as this is our base line year but
we are aiming to do so now that we have our emissions
data compiled and analysed. Carbon emissions reductions
across our operations are part of our strategy and looking
at how we can reduce our emissions as well as looking at
the feasibility of lower emission energy in our operations
will be a strategic issue for MCK. In 2023, we joined Toitu
Envirocare’s carbonreduce programme and in February 2024
we successfully completed the requirements to become
a Toitu carbonreduce certified organisation
12
. This is an
important step on our continued journey to improve our
carbon footprint and environmental efficiency in general.
• Staff Engagement: Environmental initiatives have been
part of MCK's hotel operations for many years as hotels
were encouraged to undertake localised initiatives. As such,
all staff at hotels which undertook such initiatives would
be very familiar with those initiatives and progress. MCK
has a company-wide intranet which has a portal to share
such information and on occasion the development and
progress of these initiatives would be shared to the global
Millennium & Copthorne group. Within the operations and
property management staff, there is a high understanding
of the relevant issues especially with regard to energy and
water consumption and how to reduce the environmental
impact of both. Formalised environmental training as part
of induction processes is something we are considering
to increase awareness of the critical issues. MCK has had
a basic environmental policy in place since 2008 and is
now looking again at how to broaden its environmental
awareness, make more resources available to its staff to
identify additional initiatives to assist in setting targets and
actively work to reduce its carbon footprint where possible.
12. Certification was achieved through an audit which aligned to the following criteria: ISO 14064-1:2018, ISO 14064-3:2019, Toitu Programme Technical Requirements 3.1Audit &
Certification Technical requirements 3.0, Certification Mark Guide v 3.0.
Future Value Goals:
Our targets and goals will evolve and change as we are able
to improve our reporting and analysis of our emissions and
environmental impact. As 2023 is our base line year, we will be
looking at conducting more detailed risk assessments from 2024
and performing climate change analysis in the near future to
allow us to set firm targets and goals. Our aim is to use these risk
assessments and analyses to be able to better integrate climate-
related risks into our business strategy and our future financial
analysis.
Using the UN SDGs, our current targets and goals are:
• Reducing our overall environmental impact (SDG 7, 12, 13,
15) – especially with regard to water use / energy use; and
• Maintaining a fair, safe and inclusive workplace (SDG 8 and
16)

Our Metrics and Targets :
In 2023, we achieved Toitu Envirocare carbonreduce certification
for the first time for our GHG Inventory and emissions, covering
our Scope 1 and Scope 2 and selected Scope 3 emissions. The
GHG emissions data covered our direct and indirect emissions
and included energy purchased, air travel, transmission and
distribution (T&D) losses for purchased energy, LPG fuel
emissions (rental and other cars), taxis, water supply, office waste,
composting and recycling for the reporting period (January 1,
2023 through December 31, 2023), The programme requirements
that applied are in accordance with ISO 14064-1:2018. This is a
significant step towards measurement and setting future targets
which were are looking to confirm in 2024.
MCK is committed to measuring and looking at ways to reduce its
carbon footprint. Our assessment of emissions included vehicles,
business travel, fuel and electricity usage, paper consumption,
and waste generation. The emissions will be evaluated annually,
and the inventory will undergo independent audit and verification.
Currently, MCK is not looking at carbon offsets or purchasing
carbon credits but in the future will investigate options by which
it could offset or credit its emissions. In 2024, work will be done
to include Scope 3 emissions from sources such as employee
commuting and supplier generated emissions.
In measuring GHG emissions for 2023, we set an operational
boundary which covered the hotels we owned and operated as well
as our support and sales offices. The emissions of hotels under
management or franchise
13
were not included as MCK does not
have ownership and operational control of those properties. For
2023, we did not include Scope 3 emissions as this was our base
year and therefore we are relying on adoption relief as provided
for in the Standards for these areas.
Two specific areas were identified and excluded from MCK’s 2023
GHG inventory being freight and refrigerants. MCK did not contract
freight services which we understand to be freight transportation
by air, sea or land. MCK usually contracts services as part of major
refurbishments where, for example, materials are transported to
site. In 2023, this was done by third parties for which MCK does
not have emissions data for. In respect of refrigerants, MCK did not
conduct a full survey of its air conditioning systems in 2023 and
due to the age of some of the systems some information relating
to their refrigerants is not held. A survey is intended to be done in
2024.
As stated in the Introduction, for 2023, MCK has used Adoption
Provision 4 which provides for an exemption from the requirement
to disclose Scope 3 GHG emissions in the first reporting period.
The categories of scope 3 emissions excluded from this Statement
are: purchased goods and services, capital goods, upstream
transportation and distribution, upstream leased assets,
downstream transportation and distribution, processing of sold
products, use of sold products, end-of-life treatment of sold
products, downstream leased assets, franchises, and investments,
in its first reporting period under this regime.
13. The excluded hotels were Grand Millennium Auckland, Kingsgate Hotel Paihia, Millennium Hotel Manuels Taupo and Copthorne Hotel & Resort Solway Park Wairarapa.
MILLENNIUM & COPTHORNE HOTELS NEW ZEALAND LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2023 | CG 18
At this stage, we have not set a target for overall carbon reduction
as this is our base line year but we are aiming to do so now that we
have our emissions data compiled and analysed. MCK has not yet
determined whether the targets will be on an intensity or absolute
basis but will be science-based. Targets which are currently being
contemplated include reductions for use of energy (electricity
and gas), GHG emissions, waste reduction / recycling and reducing
water consumption at various sites including hotels and office
premises.
Emissions Factors
The emission factors used are drawn from a variety of sources,
primarily: Government published emission factors (such as the NZ
MfE); other government publications or data; industry publications
or data; international bodies; technical reports; peer-reviewed
journals or literature; the IPCC; supplier-specific data (from
providers); Global Warming Potentials (GWP) from the IPCC fifth
assessment report (AR5) are the preferred GWP conversion.
MCK’s GHG emissions data has been quantified according to the
requirements of ISO 14064-1:2018.
In alignment with ISO 14064-1 we have completed an uncertainty
assessment of the activity data, emissions factors, and calculation
methodologies. Emissions factors sources and uncertainty can be
found in the full ISO14064-1 aligned GHG inventory. Uncertainty
is inherent within GHG accounting, however we have committed to
review and reduce our assumptions and uncertainty through using
supplier specific methodologies and reported emissions where
possible.
MCK measures and manages our Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions
in accordance with the requirements of International Standard ISO
14064-1 Greenhouse gases – Part 1: Specification with guidance
at the organisation level for quantification and reporting of
greenhouse gas emissions and removals (‘ISO 14064-1:2018’).
MCK has used a calculation methodology in alignment with ISO
14064-1 as described below.
Emissions = activity data x emissions factor
All emissions were calculated using Toitu emanage with emissions
factors and Global Warming Potentials provided by the Toitu
emanage tool. Global Warming Potentials (GWP) from the IPCC
fifth assessment report (AR5) are the primary GWP conversion
however some emissions factors are from (AR4). If emission
factors have been derived from recognised publications approved
by the programme, which still use earlier GWPs, the emission
factors have not been altered from as published.
Where applicable, unit conversions applied when processing the
activity data has been disclosed.
There are systems and procedures in place that will ensure
applied quantification methodologies will continue in future GHG
emissions inventories.
Assurance
MCK’s GHG inventory is subject to independent assurance by Toitu
Envirocare (Enviromark Solutions Limited 2020) in accordance
with ISO14064-3:2019. Assurance was Reasonable for categories
1 & 2 and Limited for categories 3 & 4. The disclosures required by
the Aotearoa Climate Standards were not assessed with the GHG
inventory.
The climate related disclosures were authorised for issue for
and on behalf of the directors on 28 March 2024.

WAIVERS FROM NZX REGULATION LIMITED (NZREGCO)
On 21 March 2023, NZX Regulation Limited (NZ RegCo) granted MCK a waiver from the requirement under Listing Rule 5.2.1 to obtain shareholder
approval to enter into and perform the acquisition of the Sofitel Brisbane Central hotel (the “Acquisition”) by way of a consortium bid with City Developments
Limited (“CDL”), where CDL was a Related Party (or another entity within the CDL group that is a Related Party). The waiver from Listing Rule 5.2.1 was
granted subject to the Independent Directors of MCK certifying that (i) the terms of the Acquisition have been negotiated and entered into on an arm’s length
commercial basis; (ii) the Acquisition has been considered independently of the relevant Related Party of the CDL group under a consortium bid and that
person did not unduly influence MCK’s decision to enter into the Acquisition or vote on any resolution to approve the entry into the Acquisition; (iii) in their
opinion, entry into the Acquisition is in the best interests of MCK and MCK’s shareholders who are not Associated Persons of the relevant Related Party of
the CDL group; and (iv) the terms and conditions for MCK entering into the Acquisition are substantially the same as those applying to the relevant Related
Party of the CDL group.
PUBLIC EXERCISE OF NZX POWERS (Rules 3.7.1 g) and Rule 9.9.3)
On 5 October 2023, NZ RegCo referred to the NZ Markets Disciplinary Tribunal (the Tribunal) alleged breaches of Rules 2.13.2(b), 3.8.1(b) and (d) by MCK.
The Company accepted that it had breached:
• Rule 2.13.2(b) by having only two members on its Audit Committee from February 2018 until 27 July 2020;
• Rule 3.8.1(b) by not adequately disclosing or explaining its non-compliance with NZX Corporate Governance Code recommendations 2.8, 3.1,
4.2, 5.3 and 8.1 in its annual reports for some or all of the 2017 to 2022 financial years; and
• Rule 3.8.1(d) by not including an evaluation by its Board on its performance with respect to its Diversity Policy in its annual reports for the 2018
to 2022 financial years.
The Tribunal noted that MCK admitted the breaches at the earliest opportunity and co-operated fully with NZ RegCo’s investigation.
The Tribunal ordered MCK to pay a financial penalty of $50,000 ($35,000 for its Audit Committee breach and $15,000 for its annual report breaches), pay
the costs of NZX and the Tribunal, and be publicly censured. The determination and public censure were released to the market on 3 November 2023.
