Environmental & Social Commitment

Being successful as an enterprise is of course the top-most priority of the Katathani Collection, its management and team. However, all of our activities are based on the principles of sustainable development.

Katathani Collection believes that it is important to keep a balance between the economic growth and welfare of our community, therefore ensuring that environmental practices and social initiatives are implemented within the resort. We feel that the hospitality and tourism industry is under pressure to become more environmentally friendly as a result of consumer demand. In order to minimize the industry’s negative impacts on the ecosystem we have integrated sustainability principles on our core business strategy.

We are extremely proud of the commitment we have made to this bountiful planet, finding the importance to make steady measured progress of our efforts to safeguard our environment through consistent water conservation, energy efficiency, waste reduction and clear air practices. Our policy is to reduce, reuse and recycle.

RESULT

The Katathani Collection has saved millions of USD over the years by implementing comprehensive sustainability projects. A significant portion of these savings is donated through the We Love Hometown Foundation for the restoration and maintenance of local facilities. These savings would not be possible without the dedicated commitment of our staff to our sustainability goals. Therefore, a portion of these savings also goes to supporting Katathani Collection staff in times of crisis and to encouraging and celebrating with them in times of joy, such as birthdays, staff parties, trips, and other special functions.

We continue to challenge ourselves and constantly develop new objectives and goals on a regular basis to remain at the forefront of the modern environmental conservation effort.
