FAIRMONT DUBAI’S COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABILITY
With innovative initiatives and strategic partnerships, lead to a greener future.
DUBAI, October 23, 2023
Fairmont Dubai Sheikh Zayed Road is thrilled to announce its steadfast commitment to sustainability through a series of groundbreaking initiatives and strategic partnerships aimed at reducing environmental impact. The property is proud to have recently signed a transformative contract with Neutral Fuels, a leading provider of used cooking oil collection, as part of its eco-conscious initiatives.
In a significant move towards sustainable practices, the property has partnered with Neutral Fuels, reinforcing its dedication to environmental responsibility. By collecting used cooking oil and transforming it into clean, renewable energy, the property not only minimizes waste but also contributes to a greener future. This partnership underlines the commitment to leading the way in sustainable hospitality. The hotel’s green policies extend to guest interactions, enabling visitors to participate in environmental conservation efforts. Guests are encouraged to reuse linens in their rooms, aligning with the hotel’s commitment to reducing water waste. The property has also embraced energy-efficient practices, replacing conventional bulbs with LED lighting throughout the premises and installing aerators in all water taps to curtail water wastage.
Fairmont Dubai’s dedication to sustainability extends beyond its partnership with Neutral Fuels. The hotel has implemented innovative tools and initiatives that revolutionize the way it manages resources and reduces its environmental footprint. One such tool is Gaia, a dedicated reporting platform for food waste and plastic management. Through Gaia, hotels can document their initiatives, ensuring compliance with sustainable actions and fostering accountability. Leveraging digital and IT services, the hotel obtains precise data to set relevant targets and ensure accurate follow-up on its sustainability goals.
The hotel has undertaken significant measures to reduce single-use plastic, including the introduction of sustainable and refillable toiletries dispensers in guest rooms and public areas. The hospitality venue has also replaced traditional plastic amenities with eco-friendly alternatives, such as wooden dental kits and shaving kits. Furthermore, the property has transitioned from plastic packaging to eco-friendly cloth materials for various items, promoting the use of certified eco-friendly cleaning products for day-to-day operations.
By pioneering these initiatives and partnerships, the hotel exemplifies its dedication to sustainability, setting a remarkable precedent in the hospitality industry. The hotel invites guests, partners, and the community to join hands in this transformative journey toward a greener, more sustainable future.
