Banyan Tree Dubai's sustainability vision is comprehensive, integrating environmental stewardship, community development, and a progressive commitment to reshaping the role of businesses in the modern world.
For National Bird Day, children at the Kids’ Club had the opportunity to interact closely with two remarkable avian ambassadors: Malika the Falcon and Bill the Owl. Bill, a rescue bird imprinted on humans, and Malika, a hybrid falcon sourced sustainably from reputable breeders, provided an educational and memorable experience for the participants. While both birds are not suitable for release, our partnership with a Dubai-based falconry company ensures their ongoing care and participation in a rehabilitation program. This event emphasised our resort’s commitment to environmental education and wildlife conservation initiatives within our community.
By adopting Nordaq's advanced water purification system, the resort has effectively eliminated single-use plastic bottles. This initiative provides our guests with access to clean, filtered still or sparkling water while allowing us to prevent approximately 3,528 plastic bottles from entering our operations daily. This effort marks a substantial reduction in our hotel’s carbon footprint.
We sincerely appreciate our guests for joining us on this sustainability journey and for their active contribution to creating a cleaner, greener world for future generations.
Our hotel organised a free health check-up for our associates in collaboration with our in-house clinic. The services offered included consultations with doctors, BMI assessment, blood sugar testing, blood pressure monitoring, optical check-ups, and dental consultations. Additionally, associates could purchase optical glass frames at discounted prices during the event. We are pleased to report that 60 participants benefited from this initiative, promoting health and wellness among our workforce.
In line with Banyan Tree’s commitment to sustainability, our resort proudly uses CoffeeB fully recyclable balls, offering a more eco-friendly way to enjoy your favourite brew. This choice ensures a luxury coffee experience while reflecting our dedication to responsible environmental care. Crafted to perfection and packaged from easily recyclable materials, these coffee balls combine sustainability with exceptional quality and flavour.
Sustainable pencils were introduced in all of our resort’s guest rooms in 2023. These innovative plantable pencils are embedded with tomato or basil seeds, enabling our guests to cultivate their own plants. This initiative aims to reduce deforestation and plastic waste generation, aligning with our hotel’s commitment to environmental sustainability. By using these pencils, guests contribute to environmental conservation in an easy and enjoyable manner. Once the pencil becomes too short for writing, it can be planted, offering a tangible way to foster a greener future. We invite you to write with a cause and support our sustainability efforts.
In line with our ongoing commitment to environmental stewardship, Banyan Tree Dubai is pleased to offer a range of luxury amenities, including shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, body lotion, and hand soap, all crafted from 100% biodegradable materials. This deliberate selection underscores our resort’s dedication to delivering a luxurious guest experience while reducing our environmental impact. By adopting biodegradable formulations, the hotel strives to uphold sustainable practices across every facet of our hospitality, supporting the conservation of our planet's natural beauty and biodiversity.
In our resort’s commitment to sustainability, we have adopted wooden key cards instead of plastic key cards, reducing single-use plastics in Dubai for our guests' convenience.
Our resort is proud to be Green Key Certified. This prestigious certification represents our commitment to the strict standards implemented by the Foundation for Environmental Education. This leading standard for excellence in environmental responsibility and sustainable operation within our luxury hotel means guest are assured that their visit to Dubai is helping make a difference to our planet.
