Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts have recently adopted environmentally friendly practices which has resulted in efficient energy and water consumption by record levels across the Middle East.
A range of hotel-led initiatives have led to energy and water reductions of 7.8% and 6.3% respectively in 2014, compared to 2013.
The company’s Middle East hotels saved 271,000 hours of energy over the course of the year, which is the equivalent of one 75-watt incandescent light bulb running constantly for 31 years. They also saved enough water to fill 46 Olympic-sized swimming pools or 105 million 1.5-litre bottles of water.
“One of focuses at Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts is to conduct business in a responsible way, encompassing sustainability practices. This is not only to address current needs but preserve the environment for generations,” explains Gerard Hotelier, vice president of operations, Middle East and South Asia of Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts.
The initiatives have also paid dividends with the introduction of a range of environmental practices such as ‘green’ meetings packages, paperless solutions and sustainable food choices. Subsequently, the Mövenpick Hotel & Apartments Bur Dubai has introduced Green Wrap Technology that increases reliability of the hotel’s air-coolers. This has reduced the electricity bill by a significant 16%.
