Taj Palace receives third EarthCheck certificate

Taj Palace Hotel Dubai has received the EarthCheck Silver certificate for a third consecutive year.

The Taj Palace Hotel Dubai was first benchmarked by EarthCheck in 2010 on areas including energy consumption, cleaning chemicals, water saving, and waste recycling, with follow-up assessments showing significant improvement in all areas, and was awarded its first silver certificate after 12 months.

The hotel also focuses on social sustainability by hiring locally and buying locally produced products and services.

"Joining this certification programme completely changed the staff’s thinking and made them realise that hotel and tourism businesses need to have dedicated water management plans, which are successfully implemented," said a hotel spokesperson.

“We are truly proud of this accomplishment that reflects our dedication to green and sustainable practices designed to limit our carbon footprint. Heartiest congratulations to the entire team for another remarkable achievement.”

EarthCheck provides training, capacity building, and consultancy services for travel and tourism operators in more than 80 countries.
