Status Report 1st Quarter 2008

In March 2008, we started our campaign to make SVH-PVH group a more eco friendly business. During these last months we have focused on the things that could be changed immediately and easily. As we enter the 2nd Quarter of 2008, more actions will take place and we can slowly start the documentation of SVH-PVH’s effort and carbon footprints.

What have we achieved?

Recycling:

Instead of keeping funds for themselves, the villa employee have teamed up and handed out the proceedings from the sale of recycled items as follows.

We would like to thank the above staff members for the money collected through recycling and for their understanding of the program.

  • The use of recycled paper in all Guest stationnery and within company’s official document has been implemented in the offices.
  • Environmental friendly brown envelopes (unbleached paper) are now in use.
  • To re-use printed paper for second print is now SOP.
  • Recylce of all used magazine and newspaper accross the portfolio.
  • The implementation of an all natural range of bathroom amenities (shower gel, shampoo, conditioner) which chemical impact on our environment

Water and Waste

  • Waste bins: We are fianlising the installation of a complete set of bins in order to properly apply the recylcing where necessary.
  • We are looking into purchasing biodegradable waste bags for garbage and other waste and are awaiting for quotes.
  • All toilets (where it’s possible) in villas and office now have bricks or bottles put into the cistern to reduce water usage while maintaining efficient flushing.

Energy:

  • All aircon units are being serviced every 2 months.
  • All staff has been informed about the necessity of turning off lights and electrical appliances when not in the room, villa or offices. Also the need to keep aircon units on not less than 25 degrees Celsius.
  • SVH-PVH joined the Earth Hour 2008 on March 29th 2008, by switching off all electricity for one hour in all the vacant villas. Next year we hope to get all our villas to join in, vacant or not. We are sure our guests will show understanding in this matter.

Carbon Footprints:

We have started to trace and document SVH-PVH’s carbon footprint for its business:

  • Flight information for all employees going on business trips
  • Car mileage for all employees
  • Electricity information for all villas and offices is now being collected in order to measure our carbon emissions. To be documented.
