Centara Karon Resort Earns EarthCheck’s Star Performer Status

Centara Karon Resort Phuket has been awarded Star Performer status by EarthCheck, an international environmental and certification body for the travel and tourism industry.

The resort when assessed by EarthCheck was found to have a Sustainability Policy in place, and to have eight categories performing at or above Best Practice level.

The categories are Energy Consumption, Potable Water Consumption, Waste Sent to Landfill, Waste Recycling Rating, Community Contributions Rating, Paper Products Rating, Cleaning Products Rating and Pesticide Products Rating.

“Centara Hotels & Resorts has environmental management and conservation as one of its highest priorities across our entire range of activities,” said David R Good, vice president for operations. “We are delighted that our Karon Resort property has won such a high accolade, as every member of our staff at the resort makes an individual contribution. Their enthusiasm is shared by many of our guests, who take an active part in the environment-related events and promotions that are organised at the resort.”

Using a science-based approach, EarthCheck helps many of the world's leading travel and tourism companies address risk, deliver bottom line efficiencies, maximise guest experience and minimise their environmental footprints.

EarthCheck is used in more than 80 countries across the globe and supports its network of members with a team of dedicated relationship managers, online tools, regular regional workshops, and a suite of training packages.
