(For
two consecutive years, the world’s leading sustainable environmental
benchmarking and certification program awards Dusit Thani Dubai with a Silver
Certification)
Dusit Thani Dubai has been awarded with a Silver Certification by EarthCheck,
a global recognition for its commendable and high standard of environmental
efforts. (www.earthcheck.org)
Trusted
by over 70 countries, EarthCheck is an internationally recognized environmental
management and certification program designed for the Travel and Tourism
industry. It helps determine a company’s standard of environmental, social, and
economic performance and requires compliance to internationally recognized
standards.
In
order for Dusit Thani Dubai to gain EarthCheck Certified status, the five-star
luxury hotel was required to submit a year’s worth of operational data to
EarthCheck for Benchmarking purposes. This was then compared to the operational
data submitted by similar organizations, before being rated against Baseline
and Best Practice levels.
Dusit
Thani Dubai was also required to submit to independent, third party auditing,
to verify the accuracy of their sustainability claims. Their policies require
the use of energy-efficient lighting, the minimization of water consumption,
recycling of solid waste products and use of recycled products whenever
possible. This has resulted in a decrease in Greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) for
the hotel’s operations.
“It is Dusit Thani Dubai’s
thrust to continually ensure that all its initiatives gear towards providing a
holistic experience to all its guests, putting high level of importance to
create awareness, protect and save Mother Earth. We believe that our
collaborated efforts no matter how big or small can make a difference, the kind
that can change the world.” shares Prateek Kumar,
general manager of Dusit Thani Dubai.
