Go Green Initiatives

Tree Plantation

Planting a tree is a lifelong investment. How well this investment grows depends on the type of tree selected and the planting location, the care provided during planting, and the follow-up care after plantation. Getting your new tree off to a healthy start will help the tree mature to its full size and ensure it will provide environmental, economic, and social benefits throughout its lifetime.

Tree plantation helps in increasing the green cover. Trees help in holding the soil against erosion during the rainy season and floods. Trees are important for the planet, and for all the life forms that inhabit it. To further reduce the carbon footprint, we have a planned afforestation program whereby trees are being planted regularly at our hotel premises and corporate office premises.

Going Paperless

The objective of UHR’s paperless initiative is to greatly reduce or eliminate the use of paper in the workplace and gradually transition away from a paper-based organizational culture. This virtual document storage and file-sharing system across the organization will eliminate the need for maintaining numerous client files and paper documents. UHR believes that going paperless not only helps the environment, but also saves money, increases productivity, conserves space, facilitates the sharing of information and documents, and ensures the protection of personal data.

UHRPLC will take the following steps to decrease paper usage through the following actions:

• Setting the default settings of printers to double-sided printing and utilizing both sides of paper for photocopying.
• Previewing documents before printing to prevent errors and minimize the need for reprinting.
• Using smaller fonts when printing to reduce the number of pages, if possible.
• Circulating handouts or meeting minutes via email prior to training or meetings to eliminate the need for printed materials for each participant.
• Placing a “recycled paper” box near printers or desks to encourage employees to use it for draft purposes.
• Reusing mail envelopes for internal and/or unofficial use.
• Utilizing electronic notepads on laptops or smartphones instead of paper notebooks for personal notes.

Online Meetings

"Virtual meetings have the power to lower carbon emissions"

Unique Hotel & Resorts PLC conducts most of its meetings through online platforms due to flexibility, cost savings, improved accessibility, and the ability to communicate with individuals and teams. It enhances productivity, collaboration, and communication within the company.

Benefits of Online Meeting:

• Eliminates Paper Waste: Holding a virtual meeting saves paper and trees and cuts back on air and water pollution by eliminating the need to make printed copies of shared documents. All documents needed for the meeting can be shared on-screen.
• Reduces Gas Consumption: A virtual meeting allows all participants to stay in their homes or offices without having to travel and use up gas.
• Keeps CO2 Emissions at Bay: Virtual meetings can help curb the contribution of car emissions to overall greenhouse gases. A recent study showed that when one group of employees held all of their meetings virtually, the team members reduced their overall greenhouse gas emissions from transport by 66%.
