Sustainability is very crucial and hotel & restaurant teams are taking great measures in this direction.
Their hard work in this arena has a positive impact on the community resulting in great satisfaction to the employees.
We present case study of three establishments where incessant efforts have been taken in this direction. We look at the steps they have taken to support the environment and sustainability issues. We also see what measurable goals and processes they have adopted to report on the progress of each measure.
Steps taken to support the environment and sustainability issues
Le Meridien Goa
Victor Chen, General Manager, Le Meridien Goa Calangute says, “At Le Meridien Goa, energy conservation and environmental sustainability are core focus and rooted in the company’s ethos of ‘Preserve the Earth’. We have carefully considered the various touch points across the hotel and how we can be more environmentally conscious and elevate guest experience, by doing our bit to reduce the impact on the environment. Following are the key steps we have taken:
We have placed jute slippers and jute bags in the room instead of terry/woven material.
Replaced plastic straws and stirrers with paper straws and bamboo stirrers Implemented ‘Green Meeting’ standards to create a plastic free meeting experience Adopted a linen re-use programme, where we encourage guests who stay for less than two nights to re-use bed linen. This initiative has helped save 5 kiloliters of water every day
From the project stage itself, we chose energy efficient, smart lighting solutions for all our areas and hence have used only LED lights.
We use recycled water from our Sewage Treatment Plant to landscape our gardens in the hotel, which has helped us save 30 kiloliters water every day.
Installed decomposer on property which recycles food waste into manure which is then used for landscaping purpose.
