Armani Hotel Dubai has been awarded the prestigious Green Globe certification for their efforts to promote a sustainable environment and community, on 26 July 2017.
A thorough audit from Green Globes preferred partner in the Middle East, Farnek, found that Armani Hotel made numerous environmentally friendly changes to their pre-existing infrastructure in order to try and fulfil its vision to operate sustainability. As part of its focus on enhancing energy and water efficiency, all incandescent lights in Armani Hotel Dubai have been replaced with power saving LEDs and motion detectors have been installed in back office areas. In addition, water saving devices and water aerators have been fitted resulting in a significant decrease in water consumption.
Apart from converting to a less environmentally hazardous performance, Armani Hotel sought to bring some measure of sustainability to the community as well. To contribute to local regional development, Armani Hotel Dubai is a certified member of Emirates Environmental Group, a professional working group focused on protecting the environment through education, green programs, and community involvement. Recently, the hotel donated gift vouchers for distribution to the dedicated volunteers of EEG to encourage further community participation.
Mark Kirby, general manager of Armani Hotel Dubai, said: Green Globe certification for Armani Hotel Dubai is a strong testament to our commitment to be a socially and environmentally responsible hotel operator, focused on international best practices in energy and water use efficiency and sustainable development.
Since inception, we have focused on promoting green initiatives hotel-wide and encouraged the participation of not just our employees but also our guests and partners. Through our green programs from recycling materials to minimizing food wastage and supporting environmental campaigns, we have set an industry benchmark in being a green hotel that works to secure a greener future for our coming generations.
