Our Commitment to Sustainability

PARKROYAL Monash Melbourne is committed to sustainable hospitality, reflecting our guests' growing preference for responsible and eco-conscious experiences. Through a series of thoughtful, environmentally friendly initiatives, we aim to enhance each guest’s stay while contributing positively to our community and environment.

Our sustainability efforts span all areas of hotel operations, focusing on innovative practices that reduce our environmental footprint. PARKROYAL Monash Melbourne remains dedicated to inspiring positive change by engaging our associates, guests, and business partners in fostering a sustainable future together.

 

Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) Certification

PARKROYAL Monash Melbourne proudly holds the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) certification, a mark of excellence that highlights our dedication to sustainable hospitality. This achievement affirms our leadership in promoting environmentally conscious practices within the tourism and hospitality industry.

The GSTC criteria set the benchmark for sustainable travel and tourism, addressing key areas such as responsible planning, engagement with local communities, preservation of cultural heritage, and environmental stewardship.

Our Environment

Guests are invited to join our towel and linen reuse program, which helps conserve water and minimize detergent use. In each guestroom, we’ve installed water-saving showerheads to further reduce water use without compromising on comfort.

Energy efficiency is also at the core of our operations. The entire hotel, from guest rooms to service areas, is fitted with LED lighting, significantly reducing energy consumption compared to traditional lighting. Many of our office and meeting spaces feature automated light sensors that switch off when not in use, ensuring that we use energy only when needed.
 
We are replacing plastic coffee cups and containers with 100% biodegradable bamboo alternatives. Nearly all of our fresh produce arrives in eco-friendly cardboard, and plastic straws have been swapped for biodegradable ones. 

Our People & Community

We source high-quality local Australian products from suppliers with sustainable practices, supporting the local economy and reducing our environmental footprint.

To support Scouts Victoria’s youth programs, we introduced CDS donation bins across our hotel for recycling eligible containers. Each container helps fund youth activities while enhancing our recycling efforts. 

Our housekeeping team leads the Soap Aid program, collecting used soap from guest rooms, which is sanitised and remade into bars for donation to communities in need, improving hygiene and reducing waste.

We proudly partner with the Hudson Institute of Medical Research to support their innovative work in combating childhood cancer. Through our partnership, we help raise awareness and support vital efforts to develop life-saving treatments that make a difference locally and globally.
