Thailand’s Centara Hotels & Resorts has renewed its commitment to environmental sustainability with new long-term goals to meet climate-related targets.
The 10-year roadmap includes measurable goals for four key initiatives, including a 20 per cent reduction in energy and water usage, greenhouse gas emissions, and the amount of waste sent to landfills.
By 2025, Centara aims to eliminate single-use plastic items in the entire guest journey
To achieve these goals, the group is implementing solar power projects, and installing sub-metering systems for water and electrical management. Energy conservation measures and heating system upgrades are being implemented wherever possible and embedded into daily operations.
The plan also entails ensuring that the waste management policy is being strictly followed by the individual property, especially keeping food waste reduction in focus.
By 2025, Centara aims to have all of its properties certified to an international sustainability standard, as well as eliminate single-use plastic items in the entire guest journey.
“By adopting sustainable, green practices, we are actively choosing to be more aware of our environmental impact. This not only protects the natural surroundings that enhance the guest experience in so many of the locations where we operate, (but) also creates long-term benefits for the company, our customers and our employees,” said Thirayuth Chirathivat, CEO of Centara Hotels & Resorts.
“Setting long-term sustainability goals allows us (to) incorporate green practices into our identity and ensures that all our stakeholders are aligned with Centara’s values and vision for a more mindful, ecologically conscious future.”
