Katara Hospitality has been awarded certification by the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification System (ISCC EU) for its efforts in reducing its organisational carbon footprint.

Katara Hospitality hotels in Qatar are recycling their used cooking oil for biofuel production in a process approved by the European Commission.

This practice is recognised by the ISCC as one that contributes to reduced greenhouse gas emissions, protection of natural biospheres, sustainable land use and social responsibility.

Katara Hospitality works closely with GBO, the only ISCC certified company in Qatar approved to collect and recycle oil safely according to “Green Restaurants” standards.

“As human activity increases across the globe, it is the duty of every noble citizen and organization to employ initiatives that reduce the impact of GHG emissions,” said Katara Hospitality chief executive officer Hamad Abdulla Al-Mulla.

With growing international pressure on the tourism sector to adopt sustainability practices, Katara Hospitality has developed a broadly integrated approach to corporate social responsibility, particularly where energy conservation, environmental issues and sustainable development is concerned.

Recycling used cooking oil from food and beverage outlets is an exercise that employs technologies and processes that promote environmentally friendly practices.
