Four Points by Sheraton Bur Dubai and Four Points by Sheraton Sheik Zayed Road Dubai have proudly earned the prestigious Green Globe GOLD Certification, a testament to their unwavering commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility. This recognition signifies their consistent efforts to maintain rigorous eco-friendly standards for five consecutive years. Both properties have seamlessly integrated sustainable practices into their operations, emphasizing efficient resource utilization and active community involvement.
The GOLD Certification from Green Globe is not just an acknowledgment of past achievements but a forward-looking confirmation of their dedication to environmental responsibility. Karolina Paliszewska, Multi Property General Manager, expressed pride in leading sustainability across their three hotels, including the sister property Delta Hotels by Marriott Jumeirah Beach, which has also achieved Green Globe GOLD certification status.
“We have implemented energy-efficient systems, reduced single-use plastics, and increased our use of renewable energy. Our commitment includes water conservation programs and sustainable dining options. By integrating these practices, we aim to contribute to a greener future while providing exceptional experiences for our guests,” added GM Paliszewska.
At Four Points by Sheraton Bur Dubai, the commitment to a sustainable future is evident. The hotel actively participates in global Earth Hour campaigns and has taken significant strides in reducing its ecological footprint. Recent upgrades include the installation of a high-efficiency chiller and an eco-friendlier dishwasher, dramatically cutting energy use and water consumption. Switching from PET to recyclable glass water bottles throughout the hotel further reinforces their dedication to reducing plastic waste.
Similarly, Four Points by Sheraton Sheik Zayed Road Dubai demonstrates its environmental commitment through substantial water and energy conservation measures. The hotel has introduced a cutting-edge solar thermodynamic water heating system to harness the plentiful Dubai sunshine, significantly reducing its reliance on traditional energy sources. They have also eliminated disposable cups in favor of refillable solutions, supporting the city-wide “Dubai Can” initiative aimed at reducing plastic waste.
A notable initiative at the Sheik Zayed Road property is its zero-waste food management strategy. This includes a wet garbage digester that has completely eliminated food waste to landfill, reducing CO2 emissions substantially. The resultant compost enriches a thriving rooftop garden, which supplies fresh vegetables directly to the hotel’s kitchen.
Sheraton’s GOLD certification through Green Globe is a reflection of its broader commitment to sustainability, demonstrating its role as a responsible leader in the hospitality industry. The hotels are dedicated to preserving the environment while delivering exceptional service to their guests.
