Recognising the importance of coastal preservation, we have implemented proactive measures by planting Scaevola Taccada, commonly known as "beach cabbage." This native plant serves as a natural barrier against erosion while adding aesthetic value to our landscapes through beautiful natural hedges. Moreover, it provides a crucial habitat for turtle nesting activities, supporting the conservation of these remarkable marine creatures.

In our commitment to waste reduction, we actively strive to minimise the use of single use plastics throughout our products and services. Over 90% of our takeaway food packaging is crafted from biodegradable materials, aligning with our goal to reduce plastic dependency. Additionally, our guest rooms feature refillable soap and shampoo dispensers, catering to both convenience and sustainability as well as these products being organic.

Our dedication to comprehensive recycling initiatives is evident as we sort materials such as paper, plastic, metals and cans. Notably, our resort has made significant progress in recent years. In 2023, our recycling rate increased by 19% compared to the previous year, showcasing our commitment to continuous improvement. Building upon this success, our efforts and enhanced tracking methods led to an impressive 50% boost in our recycling rate within the first quarter of 2024, surpassing the figures from 2023.

To further promote recycling, we have placed refillable water stations near the swimming pools to minimise the use of single-use plastic bottles. Additionally, we have strategically placed recycling bins throughout the garden area, encouraging our guests to participate in our recycling efforts actively.

At PARKROYAL Penang Resort, we prioritise water conservation through sustainable landscaping practices. We cultivate drought-resistant plants and incorporate large trees with deep root systems that help maintain the ecological balance. These techniques reduce our dependency on water resources, ensuring a responsible and mindful approach to resource management.

We prioritise local sourcing for most of our food, ingredients, and herbs as part of our commitment to sustainability. This approach supports local communities by providing a reliable market for their products, stimulating economic growth and preserving traditional agricultural practices and culinary traditions. By embracing local sourcing, we promote sustainable and responsible practices that benefit our guests, our community and the environment.

Committed to energy efficiency, we have installed solar panels at the main pool area to generate lighting at night, reducing our reliance on traditional energy sources. Throughout the resort, we have implemented energy-efficient LED lighting and integrated timers for our external lighting system, ensuring efficient electricity consumption and minimising wastage.
