Sustainability
A brighter tomorrow is a world that exudes well-being. Together, we can achieve this – one footstep at a time. We have embarked on an arduous journey but we are not afraid to continuously scale up our efforts to protect and preserve our beloved Mauritius. Through our sustainability programme ‘Now For Tomorrow’, we pledge for a better future. This promise is etched in our DNA and actions. Now is the time to make the right choices, so that Tomorrow, a new dawn will bloom.
Our Commitments
Paving the way for responsible hospitality
We have built our commitments on a foundation of love, caring and respect for our planet and people. Today more than ever, our approach focuses on creating a positive impact in essential areas organised around 5 pillars: energy transition, biodiversity, circular economy, vibrant communities and inclusive development.
Energy Transition
We are on a journey towards a low carbon future. Treading lightly, we implement all the means necessary to improve our energy efficiency. Our aim is to:
- Track, monitor and analyse our energy consumption trends.
- Foster the development of energy reducing initiatives through employee awareness sessions.
- Increase our renewable energy sources by 80% by 2025.
Biodiversity
Because nature’s future is our future, and we have at heart the protection and preservation of our island’s beautiful biodiversity, we are committed to:
- Working in close collaboration with local NGOs engaged in the protection of marine biodiversity.
- Improving the communities’ livelihoods and preserving ecosystems through UNESCO’s Man and the Biosphere (MAB) Programme.
- Creating a unique online encyclopedia featuring 400 species of fauna and flora from Bel Ombre.
Circular
Economy
Nothing is lost as long as it is transformed. In the same vein, we are committed to help reshape Mauritius into a circular island by preventing pollution and adopting smart agricultural practices.
Inclusive Development
We work hand in hand with women and men, youngsters and communities to help each and every one thrive. On our quest for inclusive development, we have implemented a number of initiatives, namely:
- Redistributing healthy food to local communities through a collaboration with FoodWise Mauritius.
- Setting up employability programmes for school leavers and youngsters, giving them the opportunity to learn the skills required to join the hospitality industry.
- Adopting an Equal Opportunity Policy and fostering a discrimination-free atmosphere within all our 33 workplaces.
Vibrant Communities
We value our rich cultural and historical heritage, and believe that local art is part of our legacy. Hence, we consider that it is our duty to:
- Restore cultural and historical sites.
- Empower local artists by providing them with a platform to showcase their talents
- Promote the unique savoir-faire of Mauritians by giving our guests the opportunity to acquire their exquisitely crafted pieces of art.
