Royal Caribbean : Community Impact Report (Sustainability Report)

2023 COMMUNITY

IMPACT REPORT

PROTECTING OUR PEOPLE AND PLANET IS MORE THAN A PROMISE. IT'S OUR WAY OF LIFE.

A MESSAGE FROM OUR

PRESIDENT AND CEO

As a global travel leader with five best-in-class brands sailing to all seven continents, the beautiful destinations we visit around the world are at the heart of our mission to deliver the best vacations responsibly.

All of us at Royal Caribbean Group are committed to creating unforgettable vacation experiences for our guests while charting a course to a sustainable future. We take great pride in work that allows us to inspire all generations, celebrate local cultures and support economic vibrancy around the world.

In 2023, we launched our SEA the Future initiative as both a platform and a pledge to uphold our values. It guides our commitment to Sustain Our Planet, Energize communities and Accelerate Innovation.

We are sharply focused on continuing to support the communities we visit through responsible tourism programs that promote ocean conservation, education and cultural and economic empowerment, and we are working to accelerate innovation that protects the health of our environment through conservation and community engagement projects.

We are determined to continue being a force for the greater good-for our people, planet and the places we visit.

Our 2023 Community Impact Report reflects the breadth of these community engagement efforts and the depth of our social impact. Propelled by people, it is our great honor to make a positive and meaningful impact all around the world.

MAKING AN IMPACT AROUND THE WORLD

Sowing

Seeds

in The

Bahamas

Our ships sail to over 1,000 destinations across all seven continents, while our 98,200 employees represent more than 130 countries.

This global mindset is at the core of our mission, as we connect guests with vibrant communities and cultures from the Alaskan frontier to the Australian coast. While we travel the globe, our guests and employees have millions of opportunities to make a difference in people's lives.

In 2023 alone, Royal Caribbean Group supported over 100 community partners across the globe with donations and contributions.

But our support goes beyond fundraising and philanthropy. From disaster relief to employee volunteering, our team is always ready to step up, lend a hand and give back to the destinations we serve. Because at Royal Caribbean Group, the world is our community-and giving back is in our DNA.

NASSAU,

THE BAHAMAS

Food insecurity is a critical issue in The Bahamas. That's why we're fighting against hunger and investing in local agriculture. Through the Agricultural Development Organization, we donated kits to help first-time farmers create over 2,000 backyard farms and community gardens.

We've also given more than $450,000 in donations to the Bahamas Feeding Network since 2019, including 25,000 pounds of turkey this holiday season.

Giving Hope to Galápagos Residents

GALÁPAGOS, ECUADOR

The Galápagos Islands are one of nature's greatest marvels. For local residents, however, it can be difficult to access critical resources and healthcare with the mainland more than 1,000 kilometers away.

We launched the Wings of Hope project to help bridge this gap.

Through Wings of Hope, we offer seats on every Celebrity Cruises' charter flight to community members in need, providing free passage to Quito, Ecuador. In 2023, we donated 100 seats to help residents and entrepreneurs access opportunities only available on the mainland.

HAIFA, ISRAEL

When tragedy struck, we responded almost immediately, redirecting Royal Caribbean International's Rhapsody of the Seas to help the U.S. State Department safely evacuate American citizens from Israel.

Protecting

Fiji's

Great Sea

Reef

SUVA, FIJI

We partner with World Wildlife Fund (WWF) to support conservation across the Great Sea Reef region, helping safeguard the ecosystem while improving local food security. This includes efforts by WWF and local partners to restore mangrove forests, implement sustainable fisheries, design infrastructure to protect against climate change, and secure international recognition of coastal ecosystems

as protected areas.

SEA THE FUTURE IS OUR VISION FOR A BETTER TOMORROW.

At Royal Caribbean Group, we are committed to sustaining our planet, energizing our communities and accelerating innovation. Because we SEA a future of endless possibilities.

SUSTAINING

OUR PLANET

We understand that the future of both our business and our planet depends on the health of our oceans. As a cruise company, our greatest responsibility is

to protect the seas we sail and the destinations we visit, while transitioning to cleaner fuels and smarter solutions through our decarbonization strategy: Destination Net Zero.

ENERGIZING

COMMUNITIES

We take pride in connecting our guests with the world's most beautiful places, while empowering the people who call these destinations home. We seek to celebrate their cultures, invest in local education and create opportunities for entrepreneurs to thrive in their community.

ACCELERATING

INNOVATION

We believe in a culture of continuous improvement, as we embrace innovation and drive progress in the cruise industry and beyond. Our company strives to lead the way forward, pioneering the cutting-edge technology necessary to deliver the best vacation experiences responsibly.

Celebrating Over 30 Years of Save the Waves

Our journey to sustainability began back in 1992-with the groundbreaking Save the Waves program. Royal Caribbean Group was the first in the industry to launch an environmental initiative at this scale, aimed at ensuring no solid waste goes overboard.

Thirty years later, Save the Waves remains the foundation of our sustainability leadership, as we continue to reduce our environmental footprint and protect our ocean communities.

Collaborating on

Ocean Conservation

In 2023, we renewed our commitment to oceanic research with OceanScope, a revolutionary program that provides open-source data from Royal Caribbean Group ships to scientists around the world.

Over 20 years ago, we partnered with NASA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute and the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric and Earth Science to supply our ships with state-of-the- art instruments that monitor the ocean's vital signs as we sail. Our ships follow regular, scheduled routes across the globe, which makes them uniquely equipped to monitor changes in our ocean ecosystems.

To date, OceanScope has collected data from over 100,000 nautical miles, tracking ocean currents, water salinity, surface temperature and even the concentration of carbon dioxide in the water.

Our decades-long partnership has paved the way for critical research in marine conservation, including the discovery and documentation of ocean acidification. This helps scientists understand the impact of climate change and inform policies that will sustain our planet for generations to come.

EVERY DESTINATION HAS A STORY TO TELL.

WE'RE LISTENING, LEARNING AND

CELEBRATING THEIR UNIQUE CULTURES.

ENRICHING LIVES BY ENGAGING COMMUNITIES

Our cruises travel to idyllic islands and bustling ports all over the world. But as guests on these shores, we have

a responsibility to respect the environment, celebrate their culture and ensure our communities remain as vibrant tomorrow as they are today.

At Royal Caribbean Group, we endeavor to make a positive impact on every destination we visit.

Our team works closely with local leaders to better understand each community's needs, so we can forge partnerships and support initiatives that make a meaningful impact. From business development programs to educational ship tours, we work together to energize our communities and give back to our neighbors in need.

For 25 years, our annual GIVE Day has inspired employees to Get Involved and Volunteer Everywhere, encouraging them to connect with our communities through service. In 2023 alone, we cleaned up 200+ pounds of trash from coastal beaches and assembled 7,500+ kits filled with meals, hygiene products, disaster relief and literacy tools.

Altogether, our employees have volunteered more than 57,000 hours over the past seven years, donating their time to help people across the globe. This community-driven approach is the foundation of our business and why Royal Caribbean Group has been recognized by the Ethisphere Institute as one of the World's Most Ethical Companies for 9 years in a row.

The Biscayne Bay beach clean-up was very worthwhile and fun, since it was a 'treasure hunt' with a purpose. Knowing that I was able to contribute and make a small difference for such a great cause made it a memorable and enjoyable experience. Seeing all of our collected bottle caps form a new piece of art will hopefully impact future beachgoers to remember how we directly impact nature."

PROTECTING THE PLANET STARTS WITH CONSERVING OUR OCEANS.

The ocean is a remarkable source of food, nature and life. As climate change threatens the environment, it is our responsibility to keep these ocean communities thriving for the sake of all who call our planet home.

Restoring the Natural Beauty

of the Galápagos

After centuries of minimal disturbance, the Galápagos Islands remain a stunning natural environment unlike anywhere else on Earth. To keep it this way, we must safeguard its fragile ecosystem for future generations of world travelers.

Royal Caribbean Group has collaborated with the Galápagos Islands for over a decade, donating more than $1.5 million to support various initiatives. One of our most impactful projects has been restoring the Scalesia forest on Santa Cruz Island, inspiring over 30,000 guests to get involved in local conservation. Together, we have planted 60,000+ seedlings and restored nearly 70 acres of land, aiding the recovery of endangered species that had all but disappeared.

This year, we also joined the Floreana Ecological Restoration Project-one of the largest restoration efforts in Galápagos history-to help reintroduce locally extinct species to their native habitat on Floreana Island.
