As we made it a goal to go paperless in our company, we have switched to digital IDs to lessen paper waste and pollution.
Becoming a paperless company is not only good for the environment, but it also boosts our efficiency, wastes fewer resources, and fastens the processing of documents.
At World Environment Dat of this year, Papercut Factory launched Qatar's first ever paperless business cards. As part of our goal to go zero waste by 2023, all of our employees switched to the NFC business cards.
Near-field communication (NFC) business cards allow you to share your contact information with a single tap, which is not only convenient for you but also beneficial to the environment.
We are proud to say that we have been plastic-free since the beginning! We encouraged our team members ti bring reusable cups and tumblers to work to reduce their consumption of single-use plastic!
Aside from that, we went for an environmentally option with Aseel's Water dispenser, which use glass containers that are fully reusable rather than the usual plastic containers.
From our understanding that recycling is insufficient to reduce our footprint significantly, we prioritize environmentally preferable packaging solutions. Although regrettably, we haven't always found the perfect packaging options for all our products. We opt for recyclable and reusable material whenever possible. We prioritize using lightweight and recyclable materials with no extra boxes and packaging.
To reduce the use of plastics in our resort, Hilton Salwa Beach Resort has decided to remove all plastic bags for laundry. The resort and our team members are always striving towards a plastic-free tomorrow.
Salwa Beach Resort & Villas aims to make Qatar both clean and safe. By allowing our team members to clean our 3.5km beach of any waste once a month, we strive to cultivate values where recycling and being aware of sustainability are a part of our resort and team members' daily life.
At Salwa Beach Resort & Villas we have decided to remove all plastic straws, stir sticks and cocktail picks from all operations and replace them with environmentally friendly alternatives.
Hilton Salwa Beach Resort has partnered with the Ministry of Municipality and Environment on their “Planting a Million Trees” Initiative. The resort received 500 trees from the Ministry of Municipality and Environment, and our team members have been given the chance to choose where to replant them in our communities.
• With our upgraded water pumping system through PLC, we are increasing the life span of the main 3 pumps and less maintenance. On the other hand, the PLC avoids inline power jerks which controls and limits the in-rush currents (high amps) means more power savings.
• Using villa water taps and showers with aerators that saves water more than 50% in addition to public area sensor water taps that saves water.
• For the sake of the water saving, we are encouraging our guests to take part in reused towels and bed linens program, keeping a tent and doorknob cards in the villas.
