Sustainability Report 2022

– SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2022 WYBCKE MEIER Chief Executive Officer Chair woman of the Board of Management “We want to offer the first climate-neutral cruises by 2030.” FOREWORD DEAR LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, A year ago, I wrote to you here about how we were using the time of the pandemic to further develop our holistic sustainability strategy for the company and its two fleets. Our goal is clearly defined: We want to offer the first climate-neutral cruises by 2030. Together with TUI Group, we submitted our climate protection targets for CO2 reduction to the global Science Based Target initiative (SBTi) for independent validation in July, 2022 – the first cruise line ever to do so. A more sustainable cruise with even lower emissions can be achieved with very concrete technological and operational measures. The energy efficiency of our modern fleets already gives us the opportunity to keep emissions at a low level. On these pages, we want to tell you about what we did in 2022, as the ceremonial steel cutting for Mein 7 in June 2022 was more than just the symbolic start of production. This new build will be the first TUI Cruises ship to be prepared for methanol propulsion. However, that’s not all: Just one week later, a cutting torch passed through the first steel plate for Mein Relax as part of a second ceremony. This will be the first ship in a completely new class at TUI Cruises to run on liquefied natural gas (LNG) and therefore also synthetic LNG. The transformation to increasingly use low-emission fuels is a core element of our strategy, and the two new builds are putting this strategy into practice with various technical approaches. Our comprehensive approach combines all dimensions of sustainability as we experience them in the daily operation of the fleets. For example, when it comes to protecting natural resources, we produce almost all our fresh water ourselves using our own on board osmosis systems, managing to keep our water consumption well below that of many land-based hotels. Other examples of our approach include when we live up to our social responsibility with training initiatives on board or the commitment of our business partners to sustainable standards and practices.

– SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2022 THE CURRENT STANDARD THE GLOBAL REPORTING INITIATIVE (GRI) Since 2017, large capital market-oriented companies have been required to issue a non-financial statement (NFS). The relevance of sustainability reporting will continue to increase in the future. All companies that are subject to the European Union’s Non-Financial Reporting Directive (NFRD) and, from 2023, the revised NFRD, the CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive), are obliged to disclose the proportion of their business activities that are considered sustainable in the NFS. GRI – THE GOLD STANDARD In order to comply with EU regulations, TUI Cruises is reporting for the first time in this Sustainability Report 2022 in accordance with the GRI guidelines. In this way, the future EU standards according to CSRD can already be partially applied at a high level – before TUI Cruises also becomes formally obliged to report. GRI indicators that are relevant for TUI Cruises are linked on many pages in this report – you are welcome to try them out. WHY GRI? Since 1997, the GRI has offered companies and organizations the opportunity to support and develop their sustainability activities in a structured form, in accordance with the GRI recommendations and standards. NOTES ON THE 2022 SUSTAINABILITY INDICATORS AND DATA GRI focuses strongly on sustainability implementation activities in social, eco- The Sustainability Report 2022 covers the same reporting year and introduces logical and economic dimensions, as well as in the governance of the members necessary for implementation. This is also part of the global competition that TUI Cruises faces. Sustainability, responsible supply chains etc. are no longer a specialist topic but are specifically called for by employees and suppliers. new sustainability indicators and environmental data based on the GRI guidelines (valid version of 2022). Therefore, no comparisons are made with the previous year; these will be made in the Sustainability Report 2023. The environmental data in the report and in the GRI overview aggregate the figures for both fleets and will be reported together for TUI Cruises in future. 05

– SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2022 THE GOALS OF THE UNITED NATIONS SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS (SDGs) TUI Cruises’ contribution to the SDGs GLOBAL SUSTAINABILITY GOALS OF THE UNITED NATIONS In 2015, the United Nations (UN) adopted the Agenda 2030 which includes 17 global sustainability goals. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) concrete action. To this end, there is a clear plan and a scheduled strategy for the means and measures with which the sustainability goals are to be for a socially, economically, and ecologically sustainable development of the world are to be implemented by 2030. 2022 was the halfway point – and achieved, which is how TUI Cruises understands its corporate responsibility and its corporate mission. unfortunately the goals set have only been implemented to a very limited extent. TUI Cruises’ corporate philosophy demands that we lead the way – and that the company endeavors to be a pioneer in those areas where this is possible. TUI Cruises has all goals in mind and particularly focuses on the goals – health and wellbeing (3), quality education (4), gender equality (5), clean water (6), affordable and clean energy (7), decent work (8), innovation (9), sustainable cities and communities (11), sustainable consumption and production (12), measures for climate protection (13), life below water (14), life on land (15) and partnerships (17) – where the company can best take “We are aware that we at TUI Cruises cannot change the world single-handedly, so it is all the more important for us to align and adapt our sustainability activities to these 17 international sustainability goals. In this way, we can show transparently and concretely how we are facing up to our global responsibility.” Lucienne Damm, Head of Sustainability 07

TUI Cruises has therefore committed itself to two important mid-term goals: By 2030 at the latest, TUI Cruises will operate the first climate-neutral cruise; by 2030 TUI Group's cruise lines aim to reduce their absolute CO2-emissions by more than a quarter (27.5%) compared to 2019. This makes them the first in the cruise industry to have their climate targets reviewed and validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). 2025 -40% carbon emissions compared to 2015 2030 First climate-neutral voyages 2050 Decarbonized cruise operations (net-zero)**** SHORT-TERM • Climate protection roadmap with concrete carbon reduction targets for 2030 in accordance with the Paris Agreement • Definition of science-based targets in accordance with SBTi*** • Expansion of shore power usage • Blending of 2nd generation sustainable biofuels • Establishment of partnerships for the procurement of sustainable fuels (e.g. green methanol) • New builds powered exclusively by marine gasoil (MGO) or liquefied gas fuels (dual-fuel engines) • Voluntary CO2 compensation MEDIUM-TERM • Carbon reduction in line with the SBTs • Pilot for climate-neutral cruises • Transfer of zero-emission technology to existing fleet • Continuous increase in the blending of sustainable biofuels (focus on existing fleet) • Expansion of the procurement of alternative fuels (e.g. green methanol and e-LNG or bio-LNG) • Retrofitting/conversion of existing ships for the use of e-fuels • Use of green shore power • Reduction of CO2 compensation LONG-TERM • Use of e-LNG or bio-LNG for dual-fuel vessels • Procurement and use of green methanol and other e-fuels • Exclusive design and construction of net-zero new build vessels • Start phasing out fossil fuels • Use of green shore power removed from the atmosphere or b) compensated for.

The long-term measures are aimed at achieving the 2050 climate targets. *** SBTi – The Science Based Targets initiative 11

– SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2022 PLANET PEOPLE I PROGRESS USE OF SHORE POWER GREEN ELECTRICITY AT THE QUAYSIDE Shore power is an effective lever for reducing air emissions. Therefore, expanding the shore-side electricity capability of the fleet is a core element of TUI Cruises’ climate protection roadmap. In 2022, the company has once again made significant progress in this area GRI 305 GRI 305-1 Cruise ships are in port around 40% of their operating time. If a cruise ship is connected to the local power grid via a shore power connection during its stay, the engines can mostly rest during this time and emissions are drastically reduced. In order to make an active contribution to health and climate protection, TUI Cruises will of course equip all future new builds with shore power connections. The ships already in service will gradually be retrofitted. Many of them already had the technical requirements when they were built; now the final work is being carried out during routine shipyard visits. The aim is to have a fully onshore-capable fleet by 2030. After Mein equipped and MS EUROPA 2 was finally equipped and certified in 2020, Mein received its final equipment in 2022. Both Mein was ® new builds, whose construction started in 2022, are designed with shore power connections from the outset. An entirely shore power-capable fleet by 2030 is part of the sustainability strategy. The outfitting of the ships is progressing successfully: SHORE POWER-READY FLEET HANSEATIC nature and HANSEATIC inspiration 2019 MS EUROPA 2 2020 Mein Schiff 4 2020 HANSEATIC spirit 2021 Mein Schiff 6 2022 Mein Schiff 1 and Mein Schiff 5 2023 Mein Schiff 2 2024 Mein Schiff 3 2025 2030 13 TUI Cruises takes care to ensure that ports with shore power are being included into the itinerary planning. However, only around ten shore power facilities were in operation in 2022, mainly in Northern Europe. The European Union (EU) has decided that shore power for cruise ships should be available in more or less all main EU ports by 2030. TUI Cruises specifically supports shore power projects with expertise, technical specifications, deployment forecasts and letters of intent to give ports planning security. For TUI Cruises, however, an important prerequisite for the purchase of shore power is that it is generated in a climate-friendly way. This is the only way we can ensure that the emissions reduced on board are not shifted elsewhere and thus make a truly positive contribution to environmental and climate protection.

The changeover took place in various outlets of the fleet. Numerous measures to reduce plastic have already been implemented on the Hapag-Lloyd Cruises fleet as well: Plastic drinking straws are no longer used, biodegradable coffee capsules have been introduced in the suites and the use of disposable tableware is avoided on shore excursions such as beach BBQs. During the reporting year, large quantities of furniture and requisites were donated to charitable organizations during ongoing operations and in the shipyards. One example is the donation by Mein in Brest of around 90 m3 of furniture, including sun loungers, chairs, armchairs and tables, to the "Emmaüs" organization. This is an international movement founded in France in 1949 with the aim of combating homelessness and poverty. The furniture was then given to social institutions such as soup kitchens and emergency shelters in the region, while some of the furniture was refurbished in integra- tion projects where possible and offered for sale again. The Damen Shipyards in Brest made a donation of this kind for the first time and would like to encourage other shipping companies to also donate furniture in the future instead of disposing of it. In Kiel, further chairs and tables were given to the social department store ECHT.GUT. During the dry docks of the Mein Schiff 3, EUROPA and EUROPA 2 at Blohm & Voss in Hamburg, a total of around 200 m3 of furniture (chairs, armchairs, tables, lamps, etc.) was donated to the Hamburg association DER HAFEN HILFT! e.

The guests have little idea that Fenia’s actual work is usually done in areas they know only little about and what expertise she uses in the process. As Environmental Officer, she is responsible for the compliance with and implementation of all relevant environmental regulations on board of the cruise ship. Until Fenia came on board of Mein ® in February 2020, she worked as an expert at the Greek Ministry of the Environment and Energy.

„ – SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2022 PLANET PEOPLE I PROGRESS SUSTAINABILITY MEETS LUXURY THREE QUESTIONS FOR JULIAN PFITZNER CEO Hapag-Lloyd Cruises HOW DOES HAPAG-LLOYD CRUISES ENSURE THAT THE INTERACTION BETWEEN GUESTS AND NATURE IS HARMONIOUS? Especially with our new expedition ships, we often travel in very sensitive areas. Once a safe landing has been confirmed, our guests are accompanied by our experienced expedition team. They ensure that interactions take place in har- mony with nature. There are clear guidelines to ensure that there is no harm to the flora and fauna. Our focus is on both exploring the destinations and imparting knowledge. We believe that the experience of nature is the basis for a deeper understanding and respect for our environment. HAPAG-LLOYD CRUISES IS COMMITTED TO MEASURES LIKE THE USE OF LOW-EMISSION MARINE GASOIL. HOW DO THESE INITIATIVES CONTRIBUTE TO ACHIEVING REDUCTION TARGETS? We have been using low-emission marine gasoil 0.1% voluntarily since 2020. In October, we refuelled with biofuel from sustainable resources for the first time. This biofuel, which consists mainly of used cooking oil, offers a CO2 reduction of up to 90% compared to fossil fuels. We also use dry dock times for optimization. For example, we applied a new underwater coating to the EUROPA in 2022, which has a positive effect on the flow properties during sailing and reduces fuel consumption. THE TEST PHASE OF THE SHORE POWER SUPPLY FOR THE NEW EXPEDITION SHIPS AT THE CRUISE CENTER HAMBURG-ALTONA HAS STARTED. WHAT ARE THE RESULTS? The use of shore power is a key element in offering climate-neutral cruises in the future. Two years ago, we successfully completed the test phase for the EUROPA 2 at the Cruise Center Altona, and we are now concentrating on achieving certification of the shore power connection for our three new expedition ships in Hamburg-Altona. Some tests have provided us with important information about the performance and requirements of the shore power system for our small ships. Structural adjustments are now required to ensure a smooth connection to shore power. „ 19

TUI Cruises has developed three new corporate values as the basis for its corporate culture in 2022. The following corporate values were developed through the active participation of many employees, workshops, and surveys: appreciation, trust and sustainability. These three values have also been integrated into a new management mission statement and are thus being incorporated into day-to-day work and dealings within the company. TUI Cruises’ aim is to attract and promote the best employees and retain them as an attractive employer in the long term.

– SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2022 PLANET PEOPLE PROGRESS SOCIAL COMMITMENT SUPPORT THAT MAKES AN IMPACT TUI Cruises again demonstrated its social commitment in numerous ways in 2022 and donated to organizations that work for social justice and emergency aid. With the TUI Cruises sponsorship, the company supports a social or ecological project chosen by employees every year. In 2022, this was KIDS Hamburg e. V., a counseling center for families with children who have trisomy 21. The self-help association offers various leisure activities for families and provides them with advice and support. Approximately 25% of the work by KIDS Hamburg e. V. is financed by membership fees and participation fees and 75% by donations and grants. Various campaigns such as internal flea markets or a staff raffle raised money for the association, with the majority of the sum coming from the New Year’s raffle on board the Mein at the beginning of 2022. From June 2022 to January 2023, the TUI Cruises ® fleet sponsorship project supported the Ukraine emergency aid of the children’s rights organization Plan International Deutschland e. V. Hapag-Lloyd Cruises sponsored the main prize for the German Seamen’s Mis- sion’s Advent calendar. The proceeds of the campaign benefited the seamen’s missions in Hamburg and Brunsbüttel. “Eight million people have now fled Ukraine. Children are often particularly affected and are often forgotten in crises and wars.” Kathrin Hartkopf, Spokesperson of the Management Board of Plan International Deutschland e.V. “With our ships, we travel the world’s oceans, discover new countries and experience the wonderful diversity of different people and cultures again and again. We are following the war in Ukraine with great sympathy and concern. The images that reach us leave us stunned, which is why it was important for us to make a contribution here and collect donations for those affected,” explains Wybcke Meier. “With the donation, we can provide urgently needed aid to support them and their families,” says Kathrin Hartkopf, Spokesperson for the Management Board of Plan International Deutschland e. V. € 33,000 TUI Cruises donated to KIDS Hamburg e. V. The children’s rights organization focuses its work in particular on the protection and psycho-social care of children, as they are often forgotten in crises and wars. This also includes creating safe and child-friendly areas in refugee centers to protect children and young people from violence, abuse, and exploitation. Doing something concrete for others also has a long-standing and good tradition at the TUI Group. This is another reason why TUI Cruises supported the TUI Care Foundation in 2022 with a donation of over € 53,000. TUI Care Foundation 23

One instrument for this is a contractual commitment to compliance with key standards in corporate governance and environmental and social practices. The Supplier Code of Conduct has been in place for many years, which TUI Cruises has developed and integrated into its standard contracts. In the reporting year, this process was extended to the Hapag-Lloyd Cruises brand. TUI Cruises also wants to lead the way in this area of sustainability and act in an exemplary manner even before the legal obligations are imposed on many companies in the future by the EU Corporate Sustainability Due Di- ligence Directive.

– SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2022 PLANET I PEOPLE PROGRESS GROUNDBREAKING TECHNOLOGIES INNOVATIVE PROPULSION SYSTEMS FOR THE FUTURE GRI 305 GRI 305-1 INNOVATIVE SHIP PROPULSION SYSTEMS For the future, TUI Cruises is clearly focusing on technical innovations in ship propulsion systems. Although it is currently impossible to predict exactly which low-emission fuels will prevail in the long term – especially on a global scale – With the InTUItion class, TUI Cruises is pursuing the use of liquid gas as a fuel. With the dual-fuel engines, fossil LNG can still be used for the transition, but synthetic LNG, e.g. e-LNG, can also be used without technical adjustments. The Mein 7 will be able to sail on green methanol in the future TUI Cruises has decided to pursue two technical approaches for its two current new build projects (Mein Mein 7 will be the first cruise ship to be designed with a methanol-ready 7 and the InTUItion class). propulsion system so that green methanol can be used in the future, thus dramatically reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In commercial shipping, the first methanol propulsion projects are currently in the planning and implementation phase already. This means that these ships can use and blend more climate-friendly fuels in the near future – an important prerequisite for TUI Cruises to achieve its own climate targets by 2030 and beyond. The challenge in the coming years in particular will be the ramp-up of low- emission, synthetic fuels, i.e. the development, production, and distribution of these so-called future fuels. Like in the aviation sector, ocean shipping is highly dependent on these fuels being made available and ready for the market in an international context.
