Today Royal Caribbean Group (NYSE: RCL) released its 14th annual sustainability

New for 2021, Royal Caribbean Group revamped its ESG framework to better 
reflect the company's contributions to a more sustainable cruise industry. The 
ESG framework focuses on five distinct ways to deliver great vacation 
experiences responsibly: Champion communities and the environment; provide 
unforgettable cruise experiences; foster human rights and be an employer of 
choice; advance net zero innovation; and govern responsibly.

"All of us at Royal Caribbean Group are focused on delivering the best 
vacations possible and doing so responsibly," said Jason Liberty, CEO, Royal 
Caribbean Group. "This report reflects our commitment to continuous innovation 
and building a sustainable cruise industry while growing our business for good."

The release of the 2021 Seastainability Report follows the recent announcement 
that Royal Caribbean Group has committed to another five-year partnership with 
World Wildlife Fund (WWF). A flagship partner, WWF will help the company 
continue to establish sustainable business practices in areas including 
emissions, sustainable tourism and more.

This year's ESG report highlights the company's unrelenting efforts to 
decarbonization, especially through the company's Destination Net Zero 
strategy, which aims to establish Science-Based Targets (SBT) and achieve net 
zero emissions by 2050.

Destination Net Zero, along with other ESG initiatives, will ensure Royal 
Caribbean Group develops ambitious and measurable goals for continued carbon 
emissions reduction, sustainable business development and growth, sustainable 
tourism, and waste management. Destination Net Zero encapsulates Royal 
Caribbean Group's focus on serving as a catalyst for innovation in the 
industry, with developments that include:

    -- Introducing a fuel-cell hybrid design that allows for zero emission
       in port.
    -- Future-proofing the company's ship-building portfolio through fuel
       flexibility and innovation that ensure each new ship class is 20% more
       energy efficient than its predecessor.
    -- Developing waste management technologies that can convert waste to 
       energy. Currently 100% of the fleet is equipped to be landfill-free.
    -- Being ready, through shore power, to connect to local power grids as
       soon as it becomes available.

This year's report was shaped by RCG's 2021 materiality assessment and 
references the Global Reporting Initiative's (GRI) 2020 core reporting 
standards. The report is also aligned, to the extent possible, with the 
Sustainable Accounting Standards Board (SASB) standards.
