Sustainability
The Royal Sands Koh Rong's Sustainability Mission: At The Royal Sands Koh Rong, we have a unique approach to sustainability that encompasses not only environmental stewardship but also a commitment to supporting local communities and fostering a sense of responsibility. Our mission is to preserve the natural beauty, flora, and fauna of Cambodia while giving back to nature and providing opportunities for our local employees and their communities.
Reduction of Single-Use Plastics: We are actively moving away from single-use plastics, including water bottles, to align with eco-friendly trends in the hospitality industry. This initiative not only helps the environment but also results in immediate financial savings through reduced operational costs. By integrating these solutions, we cater to the growing demand from eco-conscious consumers and invest in the long-term relevance and longevity of our brand, as the market increasingly values sustainability.
Plastic Waste Management: The Royal Sands Koh Rong is stepping forward as a regional leader in addressing the root causes of plastic waste and pollution. We make concerted efforts to carefully remove all plastic waste from our beaches and ensure it is correctly disposed of and recycled by the local municipality.
Refillable Water Bottles: As part of our commitment to reducing plastic waste, we have replaced the plastic water bottles provided on our boats with an ecological solution. Upon arrival, we now offer our guests customized, refillable stainless-steel water bottles, with easy access to refilling stations throughout the resort. Our housekeeping team replenishes our in-house drinking water daily, ensuring our guests stay hydrated while minimizing plastic waste.
Community Engagement: By supporting these initiatives and using our refillable water bottles, our guests contribute to the global effort to cut down on plastic waste in Cambodia and the broader Southeast Asian region. We appreciate your partnership in our mission to keep our planet clean and encourage you to share your amazing stories and experiences during your stay at The Royal Sands Koh Rong.
Travelife Certification: We are proud to be Travelife certified, which highlights our commitment to sustainable tourism practices and responsible management of our environmental impact. This certification is a testament to our dedication to preserving the natural beauty of Cambodia while supporting local communities and fostering a sense of responsibility among our staff and guests.
In summary, our sustainability mission at The Royal Sands Koh Rong is multifaceted, focusing on reducing plastic waste, managing environmental impact, and engaging with our local community. We invite all our guests to join us in these efforts and contribute to a more sustainable future.
