Environmental and Social Sustainability Policy
At Six Senses Samui we are committed to reducing the environmental and social impact of our activities (providing accommodation, dining, excursions, spa experiences, sport and aquatic 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. The nearby National Marine Park Angthong and Koh Tao have national significance as premier attractions for divers and other people who enjoy water sports. We have established the following objectives to be met seeking innovative solutions:
to meet and wherever possible improve upon Thai and international legislative requirements, such as environmental, public and occupational health and safety, hygiene and employment legislation;
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, suppliers and business partners through training programmes, regular environmental and awareness events;
to address the issue of climate change through both energy management as part of our 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 5 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 alternatives are practicable;
to grow, where practicable, our own foods in 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 address the issue of (sexual) exploitation of children in the travel and tourism industry;
to engage local communities and actively employ hosts and service providers from Koh Samui wherever practicable; and
to integrate social and environmental concerns into all planning and decision making processes.
