WITH the coming Earth Day this Thursday, Club Med shares a series of its sustainability efforts in its first resort in Asia - Club Med Cherating, and the anticipated Club Med Borneo Kota Kinabalu.
These efforts go in line with the relaunching of its global Thrive Again programme that gives the resort a part to play for a more positive tourism, from all-inclusive to inclusive for all and to continue to show the way towards more sustainable and more desirable vacations.
CLUB MED CHERATING
Eco-friendly activities:
* Turtle conservatory programme - Located near the resort, guests can also learn all about turtles and their life cycle, as well as the history of the sanctuary, what they do, and their achievements in animal conservation efforts.
* Amazing Family initiative - Implementing environmentally focused activities for families through its Time to Care and Time to Quest, which promote education on the nature and wildlife surrounding the resort, while creating bonding holiday moments with loved ones.
* Beach Clean-up at Cherating Beach : "Clean-up the beach" operations are run by the G.Os in seven Club Med resorts, including Club Med Cherating,
Reducing waste:
* Bye Bye Plastic - Launched in 2018, the programme aims to ban single-use plastic products from bars, restaurants and rooms by 2021.
* Food Waste reduction programme – Club Med has managed to limit food waste to 101g per meal and per person thanks to more than 60 years of experience in generous and judicious buffets: a significant performance for one of the least avoidable waste generators.
Wild Months:
Since its launch in 2019, Club Med has increased its efforts to collaborate with like-minded brands to introduce curated nature-centric activities that are educational and respectful to nature. The same year also saw the resort partnered with LUSH to teach guests to craft their own cruelty-free and organic bath bombs while raising awareness on the importance of sustainability and combatting over-packaging of beauty and health products.
This year, Wild Months will collaborate with Zero Waste Malaysia and other eco-friendly brands to curate activities for guests at the resort.
Green Globe certified resort.
Club Med Cherating is the first Club Med resort to be certified globally in 2017, and has their certification renewed until today. In order for Club Med to attain the Green Globe certification for each resort, it first had to implement and manage an action plan for sustainable development.
This included initiatives such as effective management of waste, as well as the saving of energy and protection of biodiversity.
CLUB MED BORNEO KOTA KINABALU
Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM) Certification
Club Med Borneo Kota Kinabalu will be the Club Med's first large-scale sustainably-built beach resort in Asia Pacific certified by the Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM). The resort is built on 41 acres of land flanked by tropical rainforests, fronted by kilometres of pristine beach with picture-perfect white sand, and located next to a mangrove reserve.
The focus on eco-sustainability shared by both Club Med and GSBRC looks to ensure that the location's natural beauty is preserved while increasing their positive impact to the community. Currently still in development, the resort is set to open late 2024.
