The Ascott Ltd (Ascott) has embarked on a global sustainability drive with the launch of Go Green @ Ascott, as the company strives to become the world’s leading green serviced residence company.
Beacon signage lights, biodegradable laundry bags, the use of recycling bins and the installation of water-saving devices in toilet cisterns are among the eco-friendly features that occupants of Ascott’s residences can look out for.
“As the world’s leading international serviced residence owner-operator, Ascott can make a significant positive impact on the environment, across the 21 countries and more than 70 cities where we operate,” said Tony Soh, Ascott’s Chief Corporate Officer and Chairman of Ascott’s Green Committee.
“Hence, we are taking proactive and meaningful steps to transform our business practices and promote sustainability among our staff, residents and business partners. Ascott is committed to do its part in the global sustainability effort, as it is the right thing to do, to help safeguard our planet for future generations.”
The firm will also incorporate green elements into all new projects to be built or renovated to create sustainable residences that are comfortable as well as resource and energy-efficient. It also aims to achieve international certifications for its environment, health and safety management systems in all its properties worldwide by the end of 2012.
