As a group, Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts remains unwavering in their commitment to sustainable tourism practices. They continually seek innovative approaches to reduce their ecological footprint while maximizing positive societal contributions. Their exemplary practices and achievements are an inspiring example to the industry, proving that prioritizing sustainability in hospitality is not only responsible but rewarding as well.
One of their most important sustainability initiatives is reducing the amount of waste they produce. They strive to achieve zero waste to landfill status, with a number of initiatives in place to make this possible. They work with a variety of partners to recycle all their waste, including food and paper. In addition, they have implemented energy optimisation initiatives at their properties. For example, ‘Cinnamon Grand Colombo’ installed a temperature controlled variable speed drive (VSD) system and damper control system in the kitchen exhaust canopy, resulting in energy savings of 54,750 kWh per year.
All of their resorts have a commitment to the preservation of their natural environment and the Maldives island paradise as a whole. They have received the Travelife Gold Certification, which demonstrates their all-encompassing efforts to safeguard the environment, local people and the destination.
The hotel’s rainforest restoration project is a great example of their dedication to the environment. They are working with Ruk Rakaganno, Forest Department Sri Lanka and John Keells Foundation to restore a degraded 50-acre plot of land through natural forest regrowth and enabling biodiversity conservation in the process.
They have also committed to marine conservation by partnering with the Maldivian government to provide dedicated marine data collection and ocean monitoring. This helps in the management of the delicate marine ecosystem and enables them to monitor changes to the sea life around their resorts. In addition to this, they have partnered with the Green Globe and Carbon Footprint Initiatives to offset their operational carbon emissions.
