Four Points by Sheraton Downtown Dubai Initiatives Make Positive and Sustainable Impact
Green Globe member Four Points by Sheraton Downtown Dubai is committed to best practices that support environmental protection and community aid.
Four Points by Sheraton Downtown Dubai partners with Marriott initiatives through the Marriott Business Council (MBC) on various environmental initiatives such as tree planting, beach clean ups and painting school buildings. In addition to the MBC activities, the hotel visits community centers and works with charitable organizations to assist with environmental and social cultural causes.
The hotel regularly trains staff members and educates guests about living sustainably and communicates this to the public to highlight environmental issues. Annual Earth Hour celebrations are held at the property. Staff also support blood donation drives and donating clothes to those in need in the community.
Furthermore, the hotel actively participates in the Road to Awareness campaign that falls under Marriott International's Sustainability and Social Impact Platform, Serve 360: "Doing Good in Every Direction", which guides how the company makes a positive and sustainable impact wherever it conducts business.
Other key environmental activities undertaken by Four Points by Sheraton Downtown Dubai include staff members working work together to maximize the use of recyclable and reusable materials. In line with the hotel’s waste saving strategy, retired linen is repurposed and turned into pillow covers, old towels are remade into dusters, glass and plastic bottles are recycled, and soap bars donated to non-profit organizations. Employees are encouraged to ensure that all waste is disposed of through proper waste management systems. Even at staff parties, colleagues are encouraged to use recycled decorations rather than single use disposable items.
