Fairmont Collection of Hotels and Resorts has revealed its circular economy initiatives across its three historic properties in Kenya.
Trade Arabia reported that circular economy initiatives across Fairmont The Norfolk, Fairmont Mount Kenya Safari Club and Fairmont Mara Safari Club have either already been launched or will be carried out over the coming few years.
These efforts were announced at the 2023 edition of We Are Africa, a gathering of luxury African travel brands held in Cape Town, South Africa.
At Fairmont The Norfolk in Nairobi, the brand introduced new initiatives to protect the exotic garden along with rare plants, birds, butterflies and bees.
It is also working to remove single-use plastic in guest areas and planning to take a zero-waste and farm-to-fork approach after the launch of the new restaurant at the hotel. The hotel is also prohibiting the use of overfished species in restaurants within the property.
The brand is additionally recycling linen and old uniforms to make clothes for children, and donating them to children’s homes, among others.
