Food Waste & Food Loss Reduction Awareness

Our property is committed to reducing food waste and loss through proactive measures that align with sustainability goals. The program focuses on:

  1. Preventing Food Waste at Source: We emphasize menu planning, accurate portion control, and using fresh, local ingredients to minimize excess food. By working closely with chefs and the kitchen team, we ensure that only what is needed is prepared, thus reducing waste from overproduction.
  2. Repurposing Leftovers: Leftover food that is still safe for consumption is repurposed creatively into staff meals or new menu items. 
  3. Waste Segregation: All food waste is segregated (Plastic, Metal, Glass, Food).
  4. Raising Awareness: We conduct regular training for all staff on best practices for reducing waste, along with educating guests about food loss and waste reduction.

Plastic Reduction Program

In line with our environmental goals, we are reducing the use of single-use plastics throughout the property by adopting eco-friendly alternatives and rethinking our operations. Key initiatives include:

  1. Eliminating Single-Use Plastics: We have phased out plastic straws, cutlery, bottles, bags.
  2. Reusable Water Bottles and Containers: Guests and staff are encouraged to use reusable water bottles, with water refill stations conveniently located throughout the property. We also provide glass or aluminum bottles in guest rooms as part of our effort to minimize plastic waste.
  3. Sustainable Packaging: For any necessary packaging, we’ve switched to materials that are biodegradable, compostable, or recyclable, such as paper and bamboo-based alternatives.
  4. Plastic-Free Events: All property events are planned with a plastic-free mindset. From décor to dining, our team ensures that sustainable materials are used to create memorable experiences without adding to plastic pollution.
