WHAT IS ‘TREE OF LIFE’ ?
Fully embracing ‘Sustainability’ as one of the four key pillars of Dusit Graciousness, Tree of Life is Dusit’s new group-wide sustainability programme specially created to ensure we deliver on our promise to have a positive impact wherever we set foot. This will be driving in our hotel business first.
- Dusit’s commitment for sustainability journey
- Driving key sustainability initiatives
- Internal benchmarking and drive success of each property
What we do today impacts tomorrow. Tree of Life clarifies Dusit’s sustainability intentions and includes actionable and easy-to-follow steps that hotel teams can take to benefit the environment, colleagues, and their broader communities. In short, it ensures we can carry out our business and deliver services with genuine care for the environment and society. Internal collaboration and regular communication will be key to the programme’s success.
HOW IT WORKS
The programme has 31 criteria. It includes Environment, Social, and Governance (ESG) elements, ensuring that Dusit properties operate as sustainably as possible.
There are four levels of achievement for hotels to aim for, starting with eight standards in the mandatory Level 1. Hotels are awarded ‘leaves’ based on their achievement level – and the more leaves each hotel receives, the better!
The programme focuses on water and energy use, waste management, and GHG (Greenhouse Gases) emissions, with hotels that exceed the compulsory criteria in Level 1 being eligible to move up the levels.
