As environmentally responsible tourism gains momentum, SHR is committed to reducing plastic waste and promoting sustainable practices.
In Thailand, SHR’s initiatives include the Upcycling Project at Santiburi Koh Samui, where old curtains and cushion cases are repurposed into complimentary bags for guests.
This not only reduces waste but also encourages our guests to avoid using plastic bags, providing them with unique, eco-friendly alternatives during their stay.
At SAii Phi Phi Island Village, guests participate in Sunday beach cleanups alongside marine biologists, removing trash from the beach and mangrove forest.
Held regularly, these communal events successfully removed nearly 12,000 kilograms of marine and coastal waste in 2023. With environmental advocacy being a priority year-round, both resorts also invite guests to explore local biodiversity through regular guided trails on land and water.
SAii Koh Samui Choengmon nestled in Hanuman Bay is another SHR property in Thailand that hosts weekly beach and road cleaning sessions, followed by organic refreshments at the resort for the participants.
In the Indian Ocean, fully plastic-free CROSSROADS Maldives has partnered with Maldives’ Ministry of Climate Change, Environment and Energy to jointly maintain the stunning natural landscape where the property hosts eco-tourism classes for guests and local schoolchildren.
Additionally, the resort’s popular Junior Marine Biologist programme focuses on the impact of plastic pollution on marine life, with Marine Discovery Centre playing host to rotating exhibitions showcasing coral diversity and emphasising the importance of conservation.
"To remain at the forefront of environmental stewardship, all SHR hotels take concrete actions to protect our planet, including phasing out single-use plastic, embracing electric vehicles for transportation, installing solar panels and on-site water treatment systems, offering water-refilling corners and eco-friendly bathroom amenities, and much more,” said Michael Marshall, CEO of S Hotels and Resorts.
“This July, as part of the global Plastic-Free July movement, we are proud to have our guests involved in hands-on activities and experiences that allow them to actively contribute to a cleaner, more sustainable world.”
