Zero Single-Use Plastics Initiative
In the quest to create a greener future, Pullman Phu Quoc Beach Resort has successfully implemented a comprehensive ban on single-use plastics across all guest-facing areas. From guest rooms to F&B outlets, meeting spaces, and public areas, single-use plastics have been replaced with biodegradable and reusable alternatives. This bold move not only drastically reduces the plastic waste generated but also sets a new standard for sustainable practices in the hospitality industry. Guests have responded positively, applauding these efforts to protect the environment. The resort is committed to eliminating all single-use plastics, including those used in back-of-house operations, by the end of 2025.
Community Engagement and Support
Pullman Phu Quoc Beach Resort's sustainability extends beyond the resort’s boundaries. Innovative community programs have made a significant impact on the local environment and society. The community is engaged in monthly beach clean-up events, blood donation drives, and partnerships with local schools for sustainability education. By featuring products from local artisans and creating charity bazaars to raise funds for local orphanages and disability support centers, the resort not only empowers the community but also promotes environmental stewardship. The "Pullman Empowers" initiative has become a beacon of community engagement, bringing together staff and guests in meaningful activities that foster a sense of community and environmental responsibility.
Comprehensive Waste Management Program
In 2023, the comprehensive waste management program achieved a remarkable 50% waste diversion rate by enhancing recycling facilities, introducing a composting program for organic waste, and conducting regular waste audits. These efforts have significantly reduced contributions to landfills and promoted a culture of sustainability among guests and staff. By continuously refining waste management practices, we are setting a benchmark for sustainable operations in the hospitality industry.
Frank Weiss, General Manager of Pullman Phu Quoc Beach Resort, expressed his pride in the resort’s achievements: “We are incredibly proud of our achievements in sustainability, which reflect our dedication to protecting the environment and supporting our local community. Our team’s hard work and our guests’ support have been instrumental in reaching these milestones. We look forward to continuing our journey towards greater sustainability.”
Earning the Green Globe certification is a testament to the resort’s commitment to excellence in sustainable hospitality. It recognizes innovative initiatives, dedication to reducing the environmental footprint, and an active role in supporting the local community. The next aim is to be a Green Globe Gold Member and achieve certification for 5 consecutive years. As the resort celebrates its first milestone, they remain steadfast in their mission to provide world-class service while fostering a greener, more sustainable future.
