Evason Phuket's Social and Environmental Management Programme is based around Six Senses Holistic Environmental Management Programme. Some of the environmental efforts are listed below :
Energy Conservation
Producing energy usually creates pollution and is the biggest cause of global warming. At Evason Phuket we are working on several projects to upgrade our systems to reduce our energy usage and to use renewable energy.
Solar Thermal Plant for hot water
Water pond and water fall used to create insulation
Energy monitoring system with "peak demand" control
Efficient mini-chiller system
Medium Voltage (6,6kV) underground electrical cables
Water consumption is quite a concern on Phuket Island despite a lot of annual rainfall, as most of the water is in private hands and not in the governmental distribution system. Furthermore, waste water is a concern in that it may cause pollution particularly to the marine life. At Evason Phuket we are taking several measures to tackle these challenges.
Self-sufficient water supply through own reservoir
Production of own drinking water
Waste water treatment plant
Grey water used for garden irrigation - zero discharge
Water saving "push" valves, shower heads and dual flush toilet systems
Waste, garbage, trash, rubbish, whatever you like to call it, is a huge source and cause of environmental degradation - either through litter illegally dumped/dropped, which washes up on beaches all over the world and which we see lying around, or that which is legally disposed of in landfill sites, often in pristine areas, destroying them forever. At Evason Phuket we are actively looking for ways to reduce the waste generated and dispose it properly.
Evason Phuket and particularly our private beach at Bon Island are surrounded by a beautiful, biologically diverse coral reef, while the island itself is also home to numerous animal and plant species. Evason Phuket itself has been planted in order to try and re-generate a tropical flora as it would have been if left untouched.
Local plants and fruit trees used
Garden planted to give a natural look as well as shading from sun and noise
