New global standard advances equity, family wellbeing, and inclusive workplace practices, reinforcing long-term business resilience
HONG KONG, March 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Rosewood Hotel Group ("the Group") today announced the introduction of its Global Parental Leave Policy, establishing a global minimum standard of 16 weeks of fully paid parental leave for eligible associates across its international portfolio. The policy reflects the Group's long-term commitment to associate wellbeing, personal development, and workplace equity across its corporate offices and properties worldwide. By embedding consistent and equitable support into its global standards, Rosewood Hotel Group is strengthening sustainable workforce practices while inspiring meaningful, systemic change within the hospitality industry.
Advancing Purpose Through Action
Effective January 1, 2026, the gender-neutral policy applies across job levels and pathways to parenthood, wherever legally permissible.
The policy aligns with the Group's purpose — to create a future where people and place enrich one another — by translating intent into tangible support for working parents during one of life's most significant milestones.
The new global standard supplements local statutory parental leave entitlements. Where local paid leave falls below 16 weeks, the Group will top up pay to ensure eligible associates receive 100% of base pay for at least 16 weeks. In markets where statutory benefits exceed the global minimum, existing provisions remain in place.
"Hospitality is a people-driven business," said Sonia Cheng, Chief Executive Officer of Rosewood Hotel Group. "This policy reflects our commitment to move from intent to action. Supporting our associates and their paths to parenthood is essential to advancing equity and family wellbeing, while strengthening the long-term resilience of our business. As we continue to grow globally, our standards for supporting our people must grow with us."
Creating Equitable Workplaces
The gender-neutral policy applies equally to mothers, fathers, non-birth partners, and diverse family structures. It covers birth, adoption, surrogacy, and other medically supported pathways to parenthood, wherever permitted by local law.
By recognizing and supporting all paths to parenthood, the policy removes one of the most persistent barriers to career continuity and progression — parental responsibility — while reinforcing the Group's commitment to inclusion and equitable opportunity across regions and cultures.
Keno Lung, Senior Vice President, Talent and Culture, Global, added: "Our associates are the heart of everything we do. Across hospitality, parenting responsibilities can make it challenging for people to stay and grow in their careers. By addressing this in a meaningful way, we are investing in our people and in the long-term strength of our teams. Supporting associates through important life moments helps us attract, retain, and develop exceptional talent – and reflects the kind of culture we are committed to building together."
As Rosewood Hotel Group continues its global expansion, the Global Parental Leave Policy is intended to become a permanent component of the Group's global benefits framework. By building equitable workplaces worldwide, the Group is strengthening its workforce, supporting families, and ensuring that both people and place continue to enrich one another.

Rosewood Hotel Group Introduces Global Gender-Neutral Parental Leave Standard of 16 Weeks Fully Paid Leave for Associates Worldwide
HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam, March 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- With an orientated development based on scientific nutrition, VitaDairy (Vietnam) has officially introduced its new ColosBaby Lactoferrin - a nutritional formula, which is utilized with many superior nutrients such as a super-immune complex Colostrum Protein Isolate IgHM. In particular, IgHM is a specialised ingredient comprising a group of antibodies structurally similar to those in breast milk. This is considered a breakthrough in the field of immunonutrition, promising to be a natural and superior source of immunonutrition.
So, What is IgHM?
For decades, medical professionals have dubbed breast milk the "gold standard" of early-life nutrition. Beyond basic calories, it acts as a sophisticated immune ecosystem, delivering a complex array of antibodies and bioactive compounds that shield infants from pathogens.
Researchers looking to replicate these benefits have long turned to bovine colostrum due to its high concentrations of IgG antibodies and immune-active proteins similar to those found in human milk, such as lactoferrin and lysozyme.
With advanced selection technology, scientists can now isolate specific protein structures from bovine colostrum that are structurally analogous to those in breast milk. This has enabled the development of IgHM (Immunoglobulin - like Human Milk) - a specialized ingredient comprising a group of antibodies structurally similar to those in human milk. Experts suggest this advancement represents a breakthrough in immunonutrition, offering a naturally derived source of immune support with targeted efficacy.
How is IgHM selected?
To isolate the IgHM antibody group, the manufacturer employs an advanced protein-selection process carried out in three key stages:
Step 1: Protein Structure Indentification
A proprietary technology platform maps and compiles a comprehensive Big Data - database of the three-dimensional protein structures found in both human milk and bovine colostrum. This big-data approach establishes the scientific foundation for identifying structural commonalities between the two nutritional sources.
Step 2: Proprietary Antibody Protein Filtration
Using a high-precision filtration system, protein molecules in bovine colostrum that exhibit the closest three-dimensional structural similarity to antibodies in human milk are selectively retained. This step ensures that only proteins with optimal structural alignment and biological activity are preserved.
Step 3: Biological Reference
After filtration, the selected antibodies undergo further compatibility testing with receptors in the gastrointestinal tract. The results are then referenced against breast milk data to confirm safety and immunogenic efficacy before being incorporated into the final product.
IgHM Application in Nutritional Products
With its assured natural origin and a selection process guided by breast milk data, IgHM emerges as a promising ingredient to further strengthen distinctive immune-boosting nutritional complex in the new ColosBaby Lactoferrin formula. This development also reflects a close collaboration between a pioneering Vietnamese leader in immuno nutrition and cutting-edge scientific advancements worldwide, united by a shared commitment to applying nutritional science to nurture the health and development of Vietnamese children.
