Our Sustainable Development Goals
For Environment
- Reduce plastic waste
- Some hotels have stopped providing amenities in guest rooms, replacing them with amenity bars that allow guests to bring only what they need.
- Use Less Paper
80% of our hotels have introduced paperless check-in. Check-in procedures are now completed on tablet terminals, which leads significant reduction of the amount of paper we use. The remaining hotels are planning to gradually switch to paperless check-in.
In addition, by using QR codes to view the hotel's terms and conditions and facility information online, the number of information sheets handed out at the front desk and guest room information booklets has been reduced to a minimum, eliminating unnecessary paper printing.
- Efficient Use of Energy
-
In addition to conserving electricity and water, we strive to use energy efficiently through ECO cleaning, recommending no linen changes for consecutive nights, and using LED lighting.
In addition, some hotels rent bicycles from shared bike ports on the premises, contributing to low-pollution tourism.
Local production for local consumption
- Savoring local delicacies is a great part of traveling.
- We will provide meals using locally grown ingredients purchased from local suppliers. We have also begun initiatives to reduce food loss, such as purchasing substandard vegetables from local farmers, distributing them to each hotel within the group, and holding special food fairs.
