Our journey towards sustainability and climate resilience has taken a significant step forward as we join hands with SUNx Malta - Climate Friendly Travel Club.

Hotel Kaachi Grand Takes a Green Leap Towards Climate-Friendly Travel

Why Climate Change Matters to Us

Climate change is no longer a distant issue; it’s a pressing reality. If left unaddressed, it threatens not only the environment but also our way of life. The consequences of rising global temperatures, extreme weather events, and sea-level rise are far-reaching and profound. As a hotel, we understand that we have a role to play in curbing these impacts.

At Hotel Kaachi Grand, we firmly believe that sustainability is not a buzzword but a guiding principle that should shape our actions. Our commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Agreement’s target of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius is unwavering. We understand that every small step towards sustainability counts, and we’re dedicated to taking those steps.

Energy-Efficiency: Lighting the Way

One of the most significant contributions we’ve made to sustainability is the adoption of energy-efficient lighting throughout our hotel. We’ve replaced traditional bulbs with energy-saving LED lights. This simple switch not only reduces our electricity consumption but also lowers our carbon footprint. It’s a small change that makes a big difference.

HVAC System Optimization: Keeping It Cool (or Warm) Responsibly

Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems are essential for ensuring our guests’ comfort. However, they can be energy hogs if not properly managed. At Hotel Kaachi Grand, we regularly maintain and upgrade our HVAC systems to ensure they operate at peak efficiency. We’ve also implemented smart thermostats and zone control to regulate temperatures efficiently. This not only saves energy but also reduces our operational costs.

Insulation and Windows: Sealing the Leaks

Improving insulation in our walls and roofs has been another critical step towards sustainability. Effective insulation reduces the need for excessive heating or cooling, resulting in energy and cost savings. Additionally, we’ve upgraded our windows to energy-efficient, double-glazed options to minimize heat transfer. These investments not only enhance our guests’ comfort but also contribute to a more energy-efficient operation.

Employee Training: Empowering Our Team

Our staff is our most valuable asset, and we’ve made sure they’re equipped with the knowledge and tools to adopt energy-saving practices. Through training and awareness programs, we’ve encouraged our team to turn off lights in unoccupied rooms, adjust thermostats responsibly, and reduce water waste in laundry and kitchen operations. Their commitment to sustainability is an integral part of our efforts.

Guest Engagement: Partnering for Change

We believe that sustainable practices should extend beyond our staff to our guests. We actively educate and engage our guests in sustainable practices during their stay. We encourage them to reuse towels and bed linens if possible or else we do change it everyday, turn off lights when leaving their rooms, and recycle properly. By partnering with our guests, we amplify the impact of our sustainability initiatives.

Monitoring and Transparency: Setting Targets and Reporting Progress

Transparency is crucial in our sustainability journey. We continuously monitor and track our energy consumption, set ambitious targets, and report our progress. This transparency not only holds us accountable but also helps us identify areas for improvement. We’re committed to sharing our journey with our guests, partners, and the wider community to demonstrate our unwavering commitment to sustainability.

Towards a Greener Future

While we’re proud of the steps we’ve taken so far, we acknowledge that there’s more work to be done. Hotel Kaachi Grand may not be a fully eco-friendly hotel today, but we’re marching steadfastly toward that noble purpose. We understand that the path to sustainability is a continuous one, and every effort counts. We’re dedicated to evolving our practices, adopting new technologies, and exploring innovative solutions to reduce our environmental impact further.

Our partnership with SUNx Malta – Climate Friendly Travel Club reaffirms our commitment to climate-friendly travel. Together, we aim to create a more sustainable and resilient future for the travel industry and the planet. We invite you to join us on this journey towards a greener, more sustainable world—one step at a time.
