Advanced Sustainable Audit

This audit addresses issues of social resposibility & environmental sustainability in tourism.

This audit was done as a self-assessment and not (yet) verified.

<p>This audit addresses issues of internal social responsibility, cultural preservation, internal environmental management, supply chain engagement and customer communication. In addition, this self-assessment will help you to figure out where your business stands in terms of sustainability, where you're already doing a good job, and where there's room for improvement. Sustainability has become essential for the success and continuity of tourism businesses. Responsible practices in hotels not only save costs, improve staff satisfaction, have positive impacts on customer experience and their likelihood of returning, but help us to save our planet.</p>

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.

This audit was done as a self-assessment and not (yet) verified.

<p>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.</p>

The audit covered the following requirements

We commit to energy-saving

We've implemented several energy-saving initiatives such as LED lighting, motion sensors, and energy-efficient appliances. We've also trained our staff to be more conscious of energy usage, and encourage guests to participate in our sustainability efforts. Our efforts have paid off, and we've saved thousands of dollars on energy costs. It's not just good for the environment, but it's also good for our bottom line.

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.
