CENTRA BY CENTARA’S GREEN PROGRAMME

Dear Valued Guest,
At Centara Hotels & Resorts, we give great significance to the environment. We have also developed
a comprehensive policy to promote business practices that help preserve the environment. Our goals are to
‘Reduce-Reuse-Recycle’ as much as we can.

Electric Energy Conservation: We have implemented an energy management system and best practices to reduce
energy use. We implemented a change of traditional incandescent light bulbs with energy-saving bulbs, using

sources, such as non-consumptive solar for heating and cooling.

We kindly request you to assist us with the following;

Green tips:

• Turn off everything when you are not in the room. This includes lights, heat, air conditioning, and television.
• Close curtains to ensure natural insulation of the room.
• Use the air conditioner with care. Set the indoor temperature at 25°C and never leave the air condition on when
leaving the room or when doors or windows are open.
• Use windows for natural light during the day, instead of lights.

Water Conservation: We have implemented water conservation practices by asking our valued guests to place our
‘Environmental Card’ on the side of the bed if you wish not to have your bed sheets being changed daily as well
as placing your used towel on the towel rack and it will not be laundered daily. This practice will help us to save
thousands of litres of fresh water a month while also reducing wastewater and reducing the use of
chemical and energy resources.

Green tips:

• Use towels and bed linens more than once. We offer a card for you to place on the bed allowing you to use
the same linens throughout your stay.
• Do not leave water running while brushing teeth.
• Take shorter showers.

Waste Management and Recycling: Centara Hotels & Resorts is committed to preserving our environment and
we have instituted our recycling programmers. In each hotel we have established a recycling system for all kind of
materials, including paper, plastics, glass, metals and cardboard. Most of the materials in guest rooms are
collected and recyclable such as cans, bottles, newspapers, magazines and paper. We are determined to
preserve a healthy environment. Of our bathroom amenities are made from environmentally friendly packaging.

All paper packaging is recycled.
All bottles are manufactured in clear PET and can be recycled.
All bottled ingredients and soaps are biodegradable.

Green tips:

• Recycle glass, plastic and paper.
• Bring your own toiletries to minimize waste from the prepackaged toiletries.
• Use public transportation and/or walk or ride bicycles, which the location offers.
• Utilized hotel dining rooms to decrease disposable items that come with take-out meals and eating on the road.

Have a great stay!
