At Six Senses Hideaway Samui we are committed to reducing the environmental and social impact of our activities; our core purpose is to create innovative and enriching experiences in a sustainable environment. We are committed to sustainable development; specifically protection and regeneration of both the environment and community of Koh Samui. Through the implementation of the Green Globe 21 Indicators we are committed to monitoring and continually improving our sustainability. Seeking innovative and enriching solutions, we have established the following objectives:

• To reduce resource consumption and waste generation through reduction, reuse and recycling.
• To responsibly manage and protect water resources.
• To promote awareness of sustainability amongst hosts, guests, local communities and suppliers/business partners through training programmes, regular environmental awareness events and engaging business partners.
• To donate 0.5% of revenues to projects which benefit both the local and global community and environment.
• To address the issue of climate change through both energy management, as part of its resource management policies and through avoidance of emissions of ozone depleting substances.
• To at least annually monitor our environmental impact and develop action plans through environmental meetings and monitoring of key sustainability indicators in order to make year-to-year improvements.
• To prevent any escape of hazardous substances into the environment, and to phase out environmentally damaging products as soon as benign alternatives are practicable.
• To grow, where practicable, our own foods at our herbal gardens and preferentially purchase local, environmentally friendly and socially responsible products.
• To strictly avoid the use of animal products derived using disrespectful, unnecessarily cruel or environmentally destructive production methods, or those derived from any endangered species.
• To engage local communities and actively employ hosts and service providers from Koh Samui wherever practicable.
• To integrate social and environmental concerns into all planning and decision making processes.
