Fairmont Resort Blue Mountains - Luxury hotel - Sustainability

Sustainability


Fairmont Resort Blue Mountains by MGallery is committed to and has an emphasis on environmental sustainability by reducing our carbon footprint, energy, water and gas usage. Furthermore, improved recycling of waste across all areas of the hotel and further educating our team of the importance and benefits of being environmentally mindful.

PLANET 21

Planet 21 consists of seven pillars of sustainability; health, nature, carbon, innovation, local, employment, and dialogue. As part of the global hotel group ALL, Fairmont Resort Blue Mountains actively participates in Planet 21. On a global level, Accor’s Plant for the Planet initiative asks our customers to reuse their towels. Savings made on water and energy are used to fund tree planting. As a result, one tree is planted every minute. The Resort actively promotes and contributes to this cause with Planet 21 information in each room. This encourages sustainable practices of re-using towels, turning off air conditioning and lights, and supporting local attractions and suppliers.

One of the focuses of Planet 21 is healthy and sustainable food. The Resort has committed to this sustainable vision by offering healthy, balanced and high-quality menus. We use herbs grown in our kitchen gardens and local produce. We actively reduce food waste by providing our team members at the end of their shift high-quality food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner that may not be used by guests.
