As part of that commitment, in 2024 we set ourselves a target of reducing our greenhouse gas emissions from energy by 3% of consumption compare to 2023, water by 5% consumption compare to 2023, and waste by 3% compare to 2023.

We know that there is more work for us to do and in 2024 we are implementing a number of new

initiatives throughout our operation to help us achieve our goals. We encourage our valued guests,

staff and visitors to support us by following the reminders we have provided throughout the hotel about

saving water and energy, as well as minimising waste. Furthermore, we will increase the procurement with local suppliers in 2024 for reducing the greenhouse gas emission in Phuket.

We are proud of the donation of unused linens to Soi Dog Foundation in 2023. This plays an important role in supporting stray and abused animals in our community. We will continue this project and also aim to invite our guests to participate the donation in 2024 onward.

Every year our focus will be on supporting a community project to participate Thailand Children’s Day which falls on every 2^nd Saturday of January. We aim to provide foods, drinks, and scholarship for those young children at Kalim Primary School, Ban Sai Nam Yen Primary School, and Phuket Special Aid School (disabled children). If you would like to donate to this important activity, please contact our Reception Desk for more information.

Kalima Resort and Spa Phuket is committed to respecting and protecting human rights. We believe that everyone should be treated fairly and with respect. As part of this commitment, we regularly train our staff about preventing discrimination. We are also committed to safeguarding the welfare of children and young people. We have a policy of always reporting suspected instances of child exploitation and abuse to the police. We encourage our guests, staff and visitors to report their own concerns about child exploitation and abuse to the local police by calling 191 or reporting directly to the Patong Police Station located at 68 Sainamyen Road, Patong Beach, Kathu District, Phuket or office telephone number of +66 76 342769.

As local tradition and culture are also important for sustainability tourism, we trust that participate in the festivities such as Phuket Vegetarian Festival and Phuket Sea Turtle Conservation Day will assist Phuket to become one of the sustainability tourism destination for all global tourists. We aim to join these festivals as our annual plan.

We request all of you to abide by these policies for improving our potentiality of Sustainability Tourism.
