Kuda Villingili Resort announces its achievement of the prestigious Green Globe Certification. The resort has implemented various initiatives to reduce its ecological footprint and promote environmental conservation. Social responsibility and community empowerment are also extended by the resort through supporting local livelihoods to implement eco-friendly practices.
The integration of solar panels into the staff village resulted in a 40% reduction in energy consumption. The resort’s composting machine effectively eliminates food waste and dry leaves, which are utilized for vegetation. Educational initiatives and engagement programs are conducted at the island to empower both guests and ambassadors to become stewards of the environment.
The resort also operates a dedicated recycling center on-site, complete with a glass crusher that smashes glass bottles for recycling in concrete works as a sand replacement. Carpets are made from recycled plastic and bathtubs are crafted from recycled crushed stones. The hygiene products used in F&B, housekeeping, and laundry are all biodegradable.
“We are thrilled to partner with Green Globe and further strengthen our commitment to sustainable tourism,” said Deepa Manuel, the General Manager of Kuda Villingili Resort Maldives. “Through innovative initiatives and responsible practices, we strive to minimize our impact on the environment while providing exceptional experiences for our guests.”
