AT KALIMA RESORT AND SPA, PHUKET
We all travel for different reasons and many of us would agree that one of the best things about travel is having new and unique experiences. Because people, culture, history, wildlife and scenery play such important roles in our travel experiences, protecting and supporting these things should be at the heart of every tourism and travel organisation, and every traveller.
Sustainability Progress Overview (2023–2024)
At Kalima Resort & Spa, Phuket, we are proud to share the tangible results of our ongoing sustainability journey. Between 2023 and 2024, we achieved a 7.35% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, equivalent to over 310,850 kgCO₂e, reinforcing our commitment to climate action. Our successful transition to refillable and reusable materials led to the elimination of more than 121,823 plastic water bottles and over 113,000 single-use amenity containers in 2024 alone. Waste management improvements—including segregation, upcycling, and strategic partnerships—contributed to a reduction in waste volume per guest from 1.12 kg to 0.98 kg, a 3.11% improvement.
We also embraced renewable energy, generating over 139,000 kWh of solar power, which helped avoid nearly 70,000 kgCO₂e in emissions. Our food and organic waste upcycling initiatives, such as EM fermentation from pineapple peels, diverted nearly 1 ton of organic material from landfills. These efforts reflect our belief that meaningful sustainability requires continuous action, innovation, and collective participation from our team, partners, and valued guests.
