Some of the hotel’s signature sustainability initiatives include:

In-house Water Refilling Station: Embracing a Plastic-Free Future
At Mövenpick Hotel Jumeirah Beach, we recognize the detrimental effects of single-use plastic bottles on the environment. To combat this, we have installed an innovative in-house water refilling station reducing plastic waste and embracing a plastic-free lifestyle.

Elimination of Single-Use Plastics: Redefining Luxury Responsibly
We have taken significant strides to eliminate single-use plastics from all guest areas, ensuring a sustainable and luxurious experience for our guests. Glass bottles have replaced plastic water bottles in guest rooms, meeting rooms, and F&B outlets, combining elegance with environmental consciousness.

Waste Segregation and Management: Preserving Our Planet
Mövenpick Hotel Jumeirah Beach takes waste management seriously. Throughout our premises, we have implemented a comprehensive waste segregation system. Clearly designated bins enable proper sorting of recyclable materials, diverting them from landfills and promoting responsible waste disposal.

Green House Area in Staff Accommodation: Cultivating Sustainability
Nurturing a sustainable living environment for our staff is paramount. That's why we have created a greenhouse area within our staff accommodation. This oasis allows our team members to connect with nature, cultivating plants and fostering a deeper appreciation for the environment. It serves as a tangible reminder of our commitment to sustainable living.

Waste Management Training: Empowering Our Team
We believe that sustainable practices begin with education. Our staff has undergone comprehensive waste management training conducted by our esteemed waste management contractor. Equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills, our team actively participates in our sustainability efforts, ensuring the proper segregation and disposal of waste.

Donation of Used Uniforms: Extending the Life Cycle
At our hotel, we firmly believe in the power of giving back to the community and promoting sustainability. As part of our commitment to reducing textile waste and supporting those in need, we have implemented a donation program for our used uniforms. Rather than disposing of these garments, we actively seek out approved charitable organizations that can benefit from them.

Our donation of used uniforms is an integral part of our sustainability initiatives, promoting responsible consumption and supporting communities in need. By extending the life cycle of these garments and partnering with approved charitable organizations, we actively contribute to a more sustainable future while making a positive impact on the lives of individuals in our community

Green Committee and Green Champions: Driving Change from Within
At Mövenpick Hotel Jumeirah Beach, we understand that sustainability requires collective effort. To lead by example, we have established a dedicated green committee and appointed green champions within our organization. The green committee oversees and coordinates our sustainability initiatives, while green champions inspire and motivate their colleagues to embrace eco-conscious practices. Together, they form the driving force behind our sustainability journey.

Mövenpick Hotel Jumeirah Beach’s achievement of the Green Globe Platinum status for sustainable practices is a momentous accomplishment that symbolizes the hotel's unwavering commitment to making a positive impact on the environment and society.
