Crisis & Climate Resilience

This comprehensive multi-hazard audit covers the baseline of Hotel Resilient Crisis Standards.

Score: 96 / 100 %

This audit follows the Hotel Resilient Standards. The standards take proven disaster risk reduction and climate adaptation strategies and tailor them to the needs of the hotel industry. They outline the policies, procedures and actions hotels should implement to become disaster and climate resilient. The audit is divided into seven general sections and two building specific sections. The audit therefore addresses hotels with multiple buildings and provides individual scores for each building type. Your responses to the audit questions will combine to measure a hotel's risk and resilience to natural and technological hazards, including impacts from climate change.

The audit covered the following requirements

Single-Use Plastic (SUP)

This audit addresses Single Use Plastics (SUP) potentially used in products and packaging in hotels and in the supply chain of hotels.

Score: 94 / 100 %

Reducing single-use plastics is essential for hotels due to its considerable environmental impact. Plastics contribute to pollution, harm wildlife and threaten human health. Reducing plastic use also helps conserve non-renewable resources and combat climate change. Beyond environmental stewardship, reducing plastics aligns with many hotels' sustainability commitments, aids in complying with emerging regulations, and can result in significant cost savings by investing in reusable items. Furthermore, an increasing number of environmentally conscious travelers prefer staying at that share their values, potentially attracting more patrons.  To qualify for verification, the hotel must achieve an overall score of 80%.

SUP Audit (Phuket Pilot)

This audit addresses Single Use Plastics (SUP) potentially used in products and packaging in hotels and in the supply chain of hotels.

Score: 99 / 100 %

Plastic bags start out as fossil fuels and end up as deadly waste in landfills and the ocean. Birds often mistake shredded plastic bags for food, filling their stomachs with toxic debris. For hungry sea turtles, it's nearly impossible to distinguish between jellyfish and floating plastic shopping bags. Fish eat thousands of tons of plastic a year, transferring it up the food chain to bigger fish and marine mammals. Microplastics are also consumed by people through food and in the air. In order to qualify for verification, the hotel must achieve an overall score of 80% and comply with all mandatory questions.

The audit covered the following requirements

We reduced food waste by 60%

We are a committed to reducing food waste. We've implemented several initiatives such as ordering smaller quantities, donating leftovers to local food banks, and composting food scraps. We've also trained our staff to be more conscious of food waste, and encourage guests to order only what they can eat. Our efforts have paid off, and we've reduced our food waste by 60%. It's not just good for the environment, but it's also good for our bottom line. We're proud to be making a positive impact, and we hope to inspire others to do the same.

We planted new mangroves around our beach

We've planted mangroves along the coast to increase our tsunami protection. The mangroves not only help to prevent erosion, but also provide a habitat for marine life. We've also educated our guests about the importance of protecting our environment and reducing their carbon footprint. It's important for us to take action to protect our community and the planet. We're proud to be part of the solution, and we hope to inspire others to do the same.

All menues now come with fully vegan options

We've added vegan options to all our meals, including breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We've sourced the freshest ingredients and created delicious plant-based dishes that even meat-eaters enjoy. Our guests appreciate our efforts, and we've noticed an increase in bookings as a result. It's important to us to provide options that are healthy and sustainable for everyone. We're proud to be leading the way in vegan-friendly hospitality, and we hope to inspire others to follow suit.
