Designed to work in accordance with VXVWDLQDELOLW\ IUDPHZRUNV DQG FHUWLÂżFDWLRQ schemes the products, services and ideas detailed on these pages can bridge the gap

between luxury hospitality and sustainable business operations. The concept of sustainable hospitality is one gaining pace and recognition across the world. Operating in a region which holds records such as the largest LEED rated government building (DEWA, Dubai), the ÂżUVW ]HUR FDUERQ FLW\ 0DVGDU $EX 'KDEL and the highest LEED platinum rating for any building (The Change Initiative, Dubai) the hospitality industry of the GCC is already well placed to trail blaze

its achievements on the world stage. In addition, many of the international hotel groups operating here do so under strict international standards, which in conjunction with local regulations and initiatives, help achieve high standards in green hospitality. However, the work is far from done. Considering the phenomenal hotel pipelines across the GCC, the inclusion of sustainable SUDFWLFHV IURP DVVHW FRQFHSW WR ÂżW RXW DQG operations, will only become more important over the coming decade.

Through Net-Worksâ&#x201E;˘, discarded fishing nets from impoverished communities become raw material for new carpet.

Interface Hospitality provides designers with the ideal foundation for innovative and engaging design, helping them to create a sensory experience for guests, from the moment they walk through the door of a property. The Journey to Mission Zero Since their journey started in 1994, Interface has worked hard to reduce the impact of its products on the environment, and the result is carpet tiles that not only look good, but that also do good. The company is widely recognised as an environmental pioneer at a global level and continuously pushes the boundaries when it comes to design and sustainability, proving that the two things need not exist in isolation. Commenting on the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to sustainability, Jubilant Clement, segments specialist at Interface Middle East, explains: â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the heart of everything we do is our Mission Zero pledge; the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision of becoming totally sustainable â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and ultimately restorative, by 2020. This inspires all dimensions of the organisation. Interface is now more than half way to reaching Mission Zero and has been widely recognised for its achievements to date. Our products have also achieved several DZDUGV VSHFLÂżFDOO\ IRU GHVLJQ DQG innovation, the most recent being The Athenaeum Good Design Award for World Textiles.â&#x20AC;?

Environmentally friendly With growing emphasis on sustainability, Claudia explains: “At Desert River we have noticed a strong increase in demand for sustainable materials like metal, instead of woods and rattan. Customers are increasingly looking for products, furniture and decorative items that are long-lasting and low in maintenance. We have responded to the rising demand for sustainable materials through the introduction of a number of new brands, including Fermob.

she added: “Safety is another concern for our customers. One of our bestselling lines is ImagiLights - cordless (table) lamps that come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. These lamps replace traditional candles used for example on dining tables in restaurants, which can be dangerous, messy and cause a lot of waste. The ImagiLights batteries are rechargeable, so they do not need to be replaced, and all products are approved by the most stringent European safety standards.” The director explains that durability is an important part of sustainability and in Desert River’s rental department they ensure that the utmost care of furniture and equipment is taken. “We have a sophisticated way of packaging our rentals to ensure there are no or little damages during transportation, hence reducing the need to replace items,” comments Claudia. Desert River prides itself on its excellent and highly personalised service and its high quality, unique, innovative and durable products. The team has a passion for modern design and quality products that will enhance the guest experience at any HYHQW DGGLQJ WKDW H[WUD VW\OLVK WRXFK WR restaurants, bars and events.

Peak performance

ou know the feeling when some everyday product lets you down. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I could have designed this better myselfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, you think. But how many of us turn our thoughts into actions? James Dyson does. He is a man who likes to make things work better and who has proved inventive thinking and rigorous engineering techniques produce better machines. In 1978, James Dyson noticed how the DLU ÂżOWHU LQ WKH %DOOEDUURZ VSUD\ÂżQLVKLQJ room was constantly clogging with powder particles (just like a vacuum cleaner bag clogs with dust). So he designed and built an industrial cyclone tower, which removed the powder particles by exerting centrifugal forces greater than 100,000 times those of gravity. Could the same principle work in a vacuum cleaner?

James Dyson set to work. Five years and 5,127 prototypes later, the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ÂżUVW EDJOHVV YDFXXP FOHDQHU IURP '\VRQ arrived. The public response gave James the FRQÂżGHQFH WR H[SORUH KLV RWKHU LGHDV DQG inventions. He and his growing team of engineers and scientists needed more room. And so James constructed new research and development laboratories at his United Kingdom base. And then expanded them further. More ideas. More invention.

We know that our customers like to contribute to the environment, and therefore we are able to offer products and solutions that really make a difference. At the same time, we never make compromises on high quality and durability. As an industry leader in the region, we are making a commitment to the environment by enforcing manufacturing procedures that focus on solid waste and energy reduction, recycling and the implementation of the ,62 DQG 2+6$6 FHUWL¿FDWLRQ LQ RXU factories globally. Our global R&D team is constantly developing and innovating advanced coatings to help reduce harmful emissions. We are developing coatings that have lower VOCs and require fewer coats and repaints.

creating the right attitudes. In addition to rules and guidelines for behaviour, Jotun therefore puts great emphasis on practical training. Only when our employees have discussed things openly and trained in how to act when facing a dilemma, can the right and sound business decision can be made. Jotun actively supports and participates in global organisations like Transparency International, UN Global Compact and Red Cross / Red Crescent. Furthermore, we believe that we can take bigger Green Steps working together with business peers. We therefore engage actively in paints and coatings organisations. But we don’t forget that the local communities are our hosts, they provide us with our working environment, workforce and licenses to run our operations. In return Jotun gives employment, pays tax and contributes to the overall development of the community. Mutual understanding and respect are key words. At Jotun, there are many examples of commitment to the local communities, in addition to being a responsible citizen in the area we operate, from Norway to Australia.

Carbon managment

yclimate offers a comprehensive range of options for the hotel industry, allowing you to offer your guests climate-neutral overnight stays or events. Alternatively, you can offset all of your CO2 emissions and use the label “climate-neutral hotel”! Travel and overnight stays inevitably result in a high quantity of CO2 emissions. The hotel and tourism industry is therefore responsible for a not inconsiderable quantity of greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. At the same time, these two industries are also particularly affected by climate change and its consequences. Moreover, the environmental awareness of the guests has developed increasingly in recent years, as documented in current studies. These are substantial reasons for you to work together with myclimate and promote active and measurable climate protection! You can quickly and easily calculate the carbon footprint of your hotel using myclimate’s IT-based performance management system. You receive a FRQ¿UPDWLRQ WKDW VKRZV \RX WKH TXDQWLW\ RI CO2 emissions produced in total as well as per individual overnight stay. The emissions in the following categories are considered for the calculation: t Energy, heat, cold, water t Laundry (external) t Mobility t Catering (food and beverages) t Administration t Waste and recycling Because the climate-relevant event data is

recorded separately when it is input, there is an option when offsetting emissions to choose between an overnight stay, an event, or all of the hotel emissions. You can also choose an appropriate label for your communication â&#x20AC;&#x201C; ÂŤclimate-neutral hotelÂť, ÂŤclimate-neutral eventÂť, or ÂŤclimate-neutral overnight stayÂť. In general, the offset costs per person per night are less than 1 per cent of the price of an overnight stay. myclimate offers a comprehensive range of options for the hotel industry, allowing you to offer your guests climate-neutral overnight stays or events. Alternatively, you can offset all of your CO2 emissions and use the label â&#x20AC;&#x153;climate-neutral hotelâ&#x20AC;?!
