Sofitel Singapore Sentosa Resort & Spa is delighted to announce that its commitment to promoting sustainable tourism has earned the Resort the Green Globe Certification, an international standard that is recognised by the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC).

Comprising 44 criteria that include over 380 compliance indicators, the Green Globe Certification assesses and audits the Resort’s sustainability efforts spanning Sustainability Management, Social & Economic, Cultural Heritage and Environmental initiatives.

“We are very honoured to be bestowed with the Green Globe Certification. It is testament to our team’s commitment to steward sustainable practices and actions that integrate these practices into all aspects of our operations, every day,” said Cluster General Manager of Raffles Sentosa Singapore and Sofitel Singapore Sentosa Resort & Spa, Cavaliere Giovanni Viterale.

Key initiatives that contributed to the Certification include:

• Elimination of guest-related single-use plastics as of December 31, 2022
• Implementation of water-efficient fittings, gas heating for hot water heaters, and LED lights in guestrooms, suites, public areas and back-of-house areas
• Installation of filtration taps in all guestrooms and suites
• Separation of waste that ensures the trash items are easily recycled
• Procurement and delivery of products and services that support sustainable practices throughout our value chain
• Protection of culture and local heritage through conservation of the spa building
