In a series of proactive steps, Coral Beach Resort Sharjah hosted carbon emission experts, conducting audits, and empowering its staff through awareness sessions.

Leveraging the CCC’s expertise, their team assessed every aspect of the hotel’s activities, from energy consumption and waste management to transportation and procurement practices. Their insights have laid the foundation for a targeted strategy aimed at achieving carbon neutrality.

Furthermore, the initiative includes a series of informative awareness sessions for its staff, giving sessions delving into the intricacies of carbon emissions, exploring impacts and the importance of mitigation strategies. “It’s encouraging to witness Coral Beach Resort Sharjah’s stance on carbon emissions. Their initiative demonstrates a commendable dedication to sustainability that will undoubtedly inspire change in the industry”, Sanith de S.
