Sustainability
Great Northern Hotel is dedicated to acting as a responsible business entity and is constantly evolving and implementing practices that provide social and environmental benefits. Through key initiatives such as replacing our lights with LED, reducing water and energy consumption, and continuing to champion sustainable practices we have shown our commitment to reduce our environmental impact.
OUR CONTINUED FOCUS
WATER CONSUMPTION
We have water-saving dual toilet flush installed in all bedrooms, public areas, and back-of-house toilets. Our bathrooms are equipped with water-saving shower flow reducer installed in the taps.
ENERGY SAVING
Initiatives include energy efficient lighting and AC pipe insulation. We continue to monitor our energy consumption daily and actively look for new technologies and practices to reduce consumption further.
WASTE MANAGEMENT
The hotel separates waste into 5 categories – food, general, recycling, glass, and cardboard. We also ask our waste management company to carry out regular waste audits to identify areas of improvement.
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
We always try to make environmentally friendly choices wherever possible – such as our eco-friendly laundry bags, initiatives to use more seasonal produce in our kitchen and transitioning to sustainable workwear.
CONTINOUS DEVELOPMENT
Great Northern Hotel has a dedicated Sustainability Leader who monitors the annual action plan for constant improvements and arranges monthly meetings with each department’s Sustainability Champions to discuss the status of the action plan and any new initiatives that could be implemented in the hotel.
