SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
We hope to further align our long-
term business strategies with the
universal values of achieving
positive and sustainable outcomes
for all of our stakeholders.
DOING OUR PART FOR THE
ENVIRONMENT
In 2015, the Group had initiated
environmentally friendly activities
such as:-
• Tapping
solar
energy
to
generate hot water for Hotel
Royal Singapore and Burasari
Resort in Phuket, thereby
allowing the Group to achieve
substantial savings in energy
costs. Baba House in Melaka is
also experimenting the use of
solar energy to generate hot
water.
• Installation of energy-saving
LED lighting in our Singapore
and Kuala Lumpur hotels, and
hot/cold
water
dispensers
in its Utility Room instead of
providing bottled drinking water
in all guest rooms in Hotel Royal
Singapore. Hotel Royal Bangkok
@ Chinatown installed the
environmentally-friendly VRV air-
conditioning system in its entire
hotel building.
• Office staff is encouraged to turn
off lights during lunch period.
• Hotel Royal Singapore sold a total
of 7,613 kg of old newspapers
and 730 kg of old linen for
recycling in 2015. Recycling of
plastic bottles and aluminum
cans by Burasari Resort brings in
additional revenue to the hotel.
• Participation in `World No
Tobacco Day’, which falls on 31
May every year. Our hotels in
Singapore and Malaysia do not
sell cigarettes at its premises.
Hotel Royal@Queens is a smoke-
free hotel, while Hotel Royal
Singapore will be entirely smoke-
free by end of 2016.
• Collection of rainwater to water
the plants and wash the bin
centres.
• Collaboration with the Patong
Hotel Association to clean up the
famed Patong Beach in Phuket.
At the core of our corporate social
responsibility(CSR)commitment isourpassion
to reach out to the larger community in the
cities that we operate in. We believe that
as a successful business enterprise, we have
to do our part to make a positive impact
in and around us, fostering goodwill in the
communities and environment.
