Our sustainability policy.

Local awareness

• We support the protection of local resources and continued access to them.

• In our relationship with local communities, we seek to work together around shared goals that protect these values.

Water management

• We use aerated taps and shower heads with reduced flow to limit unnecessary water use.
• Guest rooms have two level flush controls and cisterns with reduced volume to limit flushing water.
• We train our team to identify and prevent leaks in guest room bathrooms and ask guests to tell us if they notice a leak.
• We water the garden only at night to reduce excessive consumption and evaporation.
• We work with guests to reduce the water used for laundry by changing towels and sheets every two days or when requested.
• We aim to reduce water consumption through training and infrastructure improvements.

Women’s rights and gender equality

• We safeguard the health, safety, and wellbeing of employees without distinction based on gender.
• We support women’s participation across departments and offer equal opportunities.
• We follow the principle of equal pay for equal work without gender discrimination.
• We assign responsibilities with equality in mind.

Children’s rights

• We seek to provide settings where children can develop, express their thoughts, wishes, and feelings, and feel free and comfortable.
• We train employees to recognise and prevent child abuse.

• If we witness suspicious conduct involving a child, we first inform hotel management and seek help from official authorities when necessary.

Energy efficiency

• We follow relevant national and international standards, laws, and regulations; voluntarily work to reduce energy use and improve energy performance; and monitor the results.

Environmental protection and waste management

• We monitor and comply with legal requirements and work to reduce our environmental impact.
• We seek to separate waste effectively by source, group, and hazard class and arrange disposal under applicable environmental rules.
• We recognise that using hazardous substances and chemicals only when and in the amounts needed reduces environmental harm and waste, and we train employees regularly on chemical use.
• When purchasing materials, we seek products marked as recyclable or environmentally responsible.
• We seek opportunities for reuse.
• We use disposable paper, napkins, toilet paper, packaging, and similar materials only as needed to reduce waste.
• We store waste separately according to its characteristics, transfer it to licensed or authorised providers within legal time limits, and retain records.
• We use water, energy, and natural resources carefully and share this approach with employees, guests, and suppliers.
• We measure environmental management performance, follow the data against objectives, and work to improve.
• We aim to educate employees and suppliers and maintain a current Emergency Response Team list with regular drills for potential emergencies and disasters.
