Rotana reinforces its commitment to reducing its impact on climate change. The group has implemented enhanced sustainable offerings across its properties in the UAE and beyond, as the region gets set to host the biggest climate change convention of the year, COP28, at Expo City Dubai in November 2023.
In line with the conference’s mission to discuss practical and ambitious solutions and track progress to the most pressing global challenge, Rotana actively strives to do its part and continues to work to reduce energy and water consumption, adopt clean technologies and optimize operational efficiency. As part of its Global Corporate Sustainability Platform “Rotana Earth”, the group has increased recyclables by 8%, reduced waste to landfill to 17%, and reduced electricity consumption by 8%. To raise further environmental awareness, Rotana also appointed Junior Sustainability Ambassador, Alexander Ghorayeb, a 17-year-old young man who shares the group’s passion for driving change and inspiring a sustainable future.
Amongst other initiatives, Rotana has also implemented new sustainable and locally-sourced breakfast offerings across its properties in the UAE. Starting now, guests will be able to enjoy an enhanced breakfast sourced from organic and local farms. The new breakfast offering is crafted with guests’ health and wellbeing in mind and brings forward fresh produce from the farm to the table, including a new salad and vegetable corner, cage-free eggs sourced from the UAE, in addition to a wide selection of vegan items.
Jarrett Beaulieu, Corporate Vice President Food & Beverage of Rotana, added: “We are proud to have successfully implemented a dedicated breakfast with locally sourced ingredients across all our properties in the UAE. Raising awareness of the importance of mindful and sustainable eating habits remains a top priority and the team continues to focus on providing fresh meals that follow the farm-to-table principle, crafted with the guest’s health in mind and the wellbeing of the environment.”
