We have started to assess the paper
we utilise for printing, copying, offices,
collaterals we buy and to review how we
may ensure that our operational needs
are not met at the expense of exploiting
the world’s forest resources. Forestry
that is managed poorly has catastrophic
environmental and socio-economic
impacts. Uncontrolled deforestation in the
paper and timber industry supply chain is
a significant global issue. In line with our
sustainability vision, we have taken steps
to switch to recycled paper.
The towel and bed sheets reuse
programme cards are printed on recycled
papers. In 2012, 30% of our hotels have
shifted to A4 office papers made from
post consumer recycled materials.
Chemical Consumption
We strive to use eco-friendly chemicals
for housekeeping, laundry, stewarding
activities and always look for avenues
to reduce our chemical consumption by
implementing dosing systems, automatic
dispensers, minimum effective dilutions,
low temperature chemicals, no rinse
chemicals and continuous training of
colleagues on chemical usage.
Rotana has signed a corporate agreement
with Ecolab chemical provider. Its
approach to sustainability matches with
our objectives to increase our efficiency,
improve our sustainability performance
and enhance our business results.
The Beach Rotana Abu
