\"The<\/a>Hong Kong, Hong Kong SAR, December 4, 2024 \/ TRAVELINDEX \/ The globe\u2019s leading scientific benchmarking, certification and advisory group for sustainable travel and tourism<\/a> has awarded The Hari Hong Kong \u2018EarthCheck Benchmarked Bronze status\u2019 for its raft of sustainability measures.<\/p>\n

EarthCheck\u2019s certification programs involve stringent benchmarking to bolster sustainability and help consumers make informed decisions. The certification draws on more than 30 years of EarthCheck working with research centres and universities globally to address sustainability and climate change issues facing tourism destinations, communities and businesses.<\/p>\n

To achieve Benchmarked Bronze status, The Hari Hong Kong<\/a> has excelled across key performance areas including energy efficiency, water use, carbon emissions, chemicals, community and employee impact, paper use, waste and more.<\/p>\n

EarthCheck deemed the hotel a \u201cRegional Leader\u201d, meaning an \u201cexemplary standard of performance for the type and location of an operation\u201d, in areas such as waste sent to landfill, energy consumption and potable water consumption. The Hari Hong Kong\u2019s waste sent to landfill, for example, was 3.3L per guest night, a third of the regional average of 9.4L per guest per night. The hotel\u2019s energy consumption per guest per night was 90.5 MJ, half the regional average of 180.3 MJ per guest per night. Its potable water consumption was 223.3L per guest per night, less than two thirds of the regional average of 360.9L per guest per night.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know that your team has worked incredibly hard to reach this milestone, which demonstrates your commitment to preserving and enhancing your natural surroundings, cultural heritage, local community and economy,\u201d EarthCheck said. \u201cThank you for being a world leader in sustainability.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

From the outset, The Hari Hong Kong, which opened in December 2020 in the heart of vibrant Wan Chai, was established through sustainable design and construction which sought to reduce negative impacts on the environment. The hotel then achieved EarthCheck evaluation in 2022, began working on the certification programme at the beginning of this year and will target EarthCheck Silver status for next year.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo continually improve in environmental and social sustainability, our commitment extends to energy efficiency, water conservation, reduction of waste and single-use plastic, solid waste management, community involvement, training and education, support of local employment, and minimizing our carbon footprint; present in The Hari sustainability action plan, each measured against the annual Benchmarking Assessment of EarthCheck,\u201d said The Hari Hong Kong\u2019s General Manager Edward E. Snoeks.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are also dedicated to growing in an organic and sustainable manner through continuous monitoring of our consumption, purchasing responsibly and fostering positive relationships with our local suppliers, stakeholders, and the wider community alike.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Hari Hong Kong is also a\u00a0LEED (Silver),\u00a0BEAM Plus (Silver)\u00a0and\u00a0BEEO\u00a0<\/em>certified hotel in recognition for its sustainable design, construction and energy efficiency performance.<\/p>\n

A green wall on the facade of the hotel\u2019s second floor terrace stretches three stories high, bringing down the temperature of surrounding areas between two to four degrees Celsius.<\/p>\n

In addition to its sustainability measures, the hotel also supports local charities, such as, for example, the Hong Chi Association to help provide education, training and empowerment opportunities for people with intellectual disabilities and their families. The Hari will direct all proceeds from its upcoming Christmas Market in the lobby on Dec. 9 from 5pm to Hong Chi.<\/p>\n

Spearheading the likes of The Hari Art Prize in support of emerging artists, The Hari Chronicles to foster ongoing conversations about art, design and culture<\/a>, and the new \u201cThe Hari Neighbourhood Guide Audio Tour\u201d which ventures off the beaten track, The Hari Hong Kong also has a deep connection with art, culture, and its community.<\/p>\n
