With an environment-centred approach, the Millennium Hotel Abu Dhabi continues to expand the range of green technology and spread environmental awareness.
'The hospitality sector is ripe with green possibilities,' says general manager Ruprecht Schmitz. In Abu Dhabi the environmental movement has been gaining momentum over the past years with a growing number of institutions and sectors all coming together to try and address this issue bringing individual efforts into working towards common goals.
The Hotel positions green initiatives as one of the integral components of its corporate social responsibility, as the hotel continues to adjust its operations to accommodate green initiatives, the effects of which will be enjoyed by the guests. 'It is very important to grow up our children with a green lifestyle as a priority, and the key challenge is to break old bad habits and be passionate about the environment where green efforts will pay off slowly and reap the rewards of adopting eco-friendly practices,' elaborated Schmitz.
The Hotel hosts several activities that aim to spread awareness to save the environment. It seeks the attention of the people to contribute good and healthy practices towards their community. Focus is placed on the environmental impact of routine lifestyle and everyone is urged to cut down on waste and resources as much as possible and utilise our resources to the maximum and adopt the most sustainable solutions in the areas of operation, but without compromising on efficiency.
'We are all striving for a society whose inhabitants are socially active and contribute to the benefit of the environment,'
concluded Schmitz.
