Two Seasons Hotel and Apartments Dubai has received the Gold Status Certification from the Green Globe key for this year after achieving an outstanding score of 95 per cent.

 

The hotel has been dedicated to further improving its overall score yearly, as well as simultaneously achieving additional utility cost savings. The hotel has achieved 239.4 m2 energy usage intensity, 545.6 liters/guest of water usage intensity. The total waste has shown a score of 3.5KG/guest/night. The 12 per cent waste diversion ratio was a result of the team’s effort to segregate and recycle the total hotel waste.

 

Freddy Farid, Managing Director of Two Seasons Hotel Management, said: “Receiving Green Globe Certification for the fifth year is an important milestone within our wider commercial commitment to the environment, society & culture, quality, and health & safety. It’s our intention to improve on this performance and achieve greater sustainability and environmental responsibility in the years ahead."

 

"Achieving this Gold Green Globe certification has a positive effect on every aspect of the hotel operation, and will encourage us to implement more green initiatives like our Organic Garden on the penthouse of the hotel, the Soap for Hope program that has proven extremely successful, with more than 1.5 tons of used soap having been recycled into 200,000 new bars each year benefiting 30,000 people of the counties in need, along with many other  community activities such as breast cancer , blood donations , and  Emirates Environmental Group recycling efforts."

 

"Two Seasons Hotel’s guests were always encouraged to be involved in the sustainability programs by using the recycle bins placed across the property, and making them aware of special initiatives and measures," he added.

 

"It is our mission to extend our continuous efforts to raise awareness and encouraging our employees, to be more conscious about the environmental sustainability."

 

"This certification also highlights the devotion of our team members from every department for they provide high quality service while being active participants in good governance, social responsibility, respecting ethical and environmental norms," he said. - TradeArabia News Service
