Save Energy Save Earth; Switch to Energy-saving Light Bulbs & designing luminous assessment of the facilities as per user need. Recent additions were made for motion sensor & power timers to reduce energy wastages.

Eat More Food from Local Sources – Backward integration to need based procurement from direct markets & just in time inventory methods reduced our wastages of perishable procurements. It reduced loads on freezer & walk in electrical consumption as well.

Water is Life: Alternative shutdown of laundry facility reduced the water consumption from running cycle. Concentrated the resource optimization to only peak load over the temperature on your water heater- Set too high (140 degrees or higher), water heaters can waste up to 5 percent on your heating costs and use.

Breathe Pure initiative : Hotel has switched to Gas & Electrical cooking methods & completely stop coal usage to get rid of air pollution & carbon emissions.

Watch the end use Initiative: Recycled paper & linen for cleaning has lead to reduced wastages. Hotel maintains high plastic free water bottles which encourages guest as well to be served from reusable glass to water bottles in fine dining areas.We use paper bag & organic packaging material only to guard the planet. The hotel also recycles the cardboard, broken glass, broken crockery, metal, linen and food wastage in segregated section & process them in accordance to nature of use. We focus on procurement in largest possible perishable packaging to reduce wastages & transfer of good in durable waste free containers.

We focus on E -waste management through optimal aggregation & disposal.

Fix Leaks & Keep Recycling on- A leak of one drip per second can waste 259 gallons of water every month, according to the Department of Energy. We at Seven Seas do a water drip audit every week with our teams to tighten up the faucet & washrooms, wash basin, dishwasher machines. We process all our used water at In-house sewage

treatment plant & use the produce to maintain land parcel round the hotel for landscaping & plantation works with active participation through governing bodies under Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan wining three consecutive awards in the category.

It’s not food waste but abundant nutrient initiative: Composter & Manure – We at Seven Seas Hotel produce organic Manure & Compost to feed the greenery maintained around the hotel for green initiative program by the management.

Use Earth-friendly Cleaning Products where possible.

Seek Guest Support Initiative; we request & encourage our guest (through in room letter & cards) to help us reduce unused room linen during stay to reduce water & energy waste. Seven Seas focuses & encourages optimal use of sunlight wherever possible.

Turn It Off – Our team actively schedule to train & reiterate on importance of energy conservation through and in still sense of ownership amongst every seven seas family member. Also, reduced carbon emission wherever applicable.

Plantation & Green Garden – The hotel maintains optimal back up for replacement of plants based on seasonal needs & replace them in accordance to needed cycle
