Environmental and Social Sustainability Policy  
   
Soneva Fushi by Six Senses is located on a densely vegetated tropi­cal island that is surrounded by abundant marine life. Its unique set­ting in a pristine environment and its many cultural and economic in­teractions with neighbouring local communities are some of the re­sort’s main assets. Acknowledging these and pursuing sustainable de­velopment in general, Soneva Fushi by Six Senses is committed to monitoring and reducing the negative environmental and social im­pacts of its operations and is specifically concerned about protecting the environment and benefiting the local communities in the Mal­dives.

Soneva Fushi by Six Senses has created its Environmental Manage­ment System in accordance with the requirements of the Green Globe 21 Company Standard. On its path to achieving sustainability, it uses Green Globe 21 benchmarking indicators and monitors them. The resort strives to continually improve its environmental and social sus­tainability performance by making suitable year-to-year adjust­ments in relevant areas, should the sustainability indicators fall below the Green Globe 21 Best Practice level, while maintaining all other rele­vant aspects at, or better than, the Best Practice level.

Our environmental and social programmes for the next year will fo­cus on the following key areas:
  • Cutting greenhouse gas emissions by reducing energy consump­tion, increasing energy efficiency and implementing renewable en­ergy schemes;
  • Reducing resource consumption and waste generation through waste-reducing purchasing policies, reuse, recycling and com­posting programmes;
  • Preventing any escape of harmful substances into the environ­ment;
  • Preserving the fragile island and coral reef ecosystem by avoiding air and water pollution, physical damage and over-use of re­sources;
  • Engaging local communities, preserving traditional skills of local islanders and actively employing lo­cal staff, service providers and suppliers wherever practicable;
  • Raising awareness of sustainable tourism and living amongst hosts, guests, local communities and suppliers through training pro­grammes and regular environmental awareness events.
The resort commits to complying with the national environmental le­gislation and regulations and, where practicable, other relevant envi­ronmental standards.

Soneva Fushi’s Environmental Manager has the ultimate responsibility for ensuring ongoing environmen­tal performance, the identification of environmental risks, the recording and monitoring of impacts and the implementation of environmental and social sustainability meas­ures. The General Manager of Soneva Fushi by Six Senses is respon­sible for ensuring that all of the above is implemented and adhered to. The remaining hosts are committed to complying with all environ­mental and social actions taken and are encouraged to promote the resort’s commitment to greater sustainability.
