Raffles Cambodia Hotels Earn 'Green Globe Certification' for Sustainability

Two of Cambodia’s most celebrated heritage hotels have received industry-leading Green Globe Certifications in recognition of their ongoing commitment to sustainability.

Raffles Grand Hotel d’Angkor in Siem Reap and Raffles Hotel Le Royal in Phnom Penh were awarded the designations based on their dedication to efficient resource management, in addition to their innovative and engaging community programmes, unique environmental initiatives and other best practices.

“Sustainability is one of Raffles’ key areas of focus and we are proud to be helping lead the way toward a more eco-friendly future in tourism – not only in Cambodia but around the world,” said Raffles Grand Hotel d’Angkor General Manager Joseph Colina.

Raffles Hotel Le Royal General Manager Dagmar Lyons added, “We are delighted to be building on our rich historical legacy with a truly 21st-century approach to environmental stewardship, underscoring our dedication both to sustainable tourism practices and serving our guests.”

The two Raffles hotels secured the Green Globe Certification through efforts to reduce food waste, optimize energy allocation and recycle waste. They are also active in local community activities, annual tree-planting, sustainability management training and more.

Earlier this year, Raffles Grand Hotel d’Angkor, the 92-year-old luxury icon on the doorstep of ancient Khmer archeological sites, introduced a new fleet of electric tuk-tuks, providing an innovative and eco-friendly transportation option for guests. The new tuk-tuks are used in the hotel’s Curated Journeys, including “Reflections of Angkor,” in which guests hone their photography skills with a veteran photographer.

Raffles Hotel Le Royal offers bicycles for guests to explore the city of Phnom Penh, along with a self-guided walking tour map that highlights local attractions.

The Green Globe programme traces its roots back to the United Nations Rio de Janeiro Earth Summit in 1992, where 182 heads of state from around the world endorsed the Agenda 21 principles of sustainable development. Today, Green Globe has grown to become the world’s leading certification for sustainable operation and management of travel and tourism worldwide.

The Green Globe Certification Standard includes 44 criteria in four groups and supported by over 380 compliance indicators. The standard has been developed over three decades and guarantees the highest level of sustainable operations and management.
