“We are proud to serve as ambassadors for the Made Blue Foundation. Our commitment to this cause began when we reached out to Made Blue in search of a better solution for serving water to our guests across various settings \u2013 in meetings, the bar and restaurant, and guest rooms.”<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

A flourishing<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Collaboration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

“Over the past few months, our collaboration has flourished, leading to the installation of additional water stations throughout the hotel and distinct refill stations in the lobby for our guests to use. This initiative not only promotes sustainability but also enhances our guests’ experience by providing easy access to clean, filtered water.”<\/p>\n<\/div>

Eco-friendly practices<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

“One of the most innovative aspects of our partnership has been designing a system that allows us to hand out reusable water bottles to guests who do not carry one of their own. These bottles can be returned at the end of their stay or taken home at a minimal cost, ensuring convenience while encouraging eco-friendly practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our mission extends beyond our hotel. We are dedicated to introducing Made Blue Foundation as the water charity of choice to all other hotels within our group. By working together, we can serve and save water in the most impactful way, demonstrating our collective commitment to sustainability and corporate social responsibility.”<\/p>\n<\/div>
