In a series of proactive steps, Coral Beach Resort Sharjah hosted carbon emission experts, conducted audits, and empowered its staff through awareness sessions. The journey towards zero carbon emissions began with a site visit conducting Greenhouse Gas assessment in accordance with the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard and level 1 energy survey and analysis audit by Sanith de S. Wijeyeratne, Director & CEO, The Climate & Conservation Consortium (CCC), and his team of experts.

Leveraging the CCC’s expertise in energy, carbon management, and green buildings, their team meticulously 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, delving into the intricacies of carbon emissions, exploring its impact, and mitigation strategies. “It is encouraging to witness Coral Beach Resort Sharjah’s proactive stance on carbon emissions.
