Championing Environmental Conservation for a Cleaner & Greener Tomorrow
The Royal Cliff Beach Resort has been championing environmental conservation since its establishment in 1973. It is the first Resort Hotel on the Eastern Seaboard to have its own water treatment plant and the first in Thailand to achieve ISO 14001 Certification.
Measures implemented by the Resort in support of environmental conservation include formulating and implementing an environment policy, using treated waste water for gardening and flushing, recycling waste, planting endangered trees, encouraging staff and guests to minimise power consumption through an energy saving campaign and involving the local communities in beach and road cleaning activities.
The environment policy of the Resort is implemented in the strictest way to maintain and improve the environment. With the involvement and support of its executives and staff, the Policy Guidelines are implemented in letter and spirit. Under the policy, an Environment Management Committee (EMC) has been set up with the Resort’s executives who volunteered to oversee implementation of these Guidelines.
