Sustainability

SUSTAINABILITY POLICY AND PRACTICES

Ananda in the Himalayas is nurtured by the nature that surrounds it, and it becomes our primary duty to not just maintain it, but also ensure that the nature thrives around us.

As the positive energy from the nature maintains our livelihood, the way we conduct our business has to ensure that what we give back is equally, if not more, positive. We take small steps each day to implement practices that are more sustainable, socially responsible, and with accountability and transparency.

It is a collective responsibility for all those working at Ananda to ensure that these practices are defined, executed, and measured accurately and consistently. We actively request our guests, fellow travellers, patrons, suppliers and vendors to support this responsibility.

As an ongoing effort to maintain best practices on sustainability, we commit to:

  • Reduce energy and water consumption
  • Strengthen general and food waste management
  • Prioritize purchase and use of environmental friendly products and be paper efficient
  • Employ local residents where possible and purchase local sustainable products
  • Create and execute programmes to support local communities
  • Apply uniform and ethical code of business conduct for colleagues and suppliers
  • Continuously train and educate staff to raise their awareness on environment
  • Comply with local government’s environmental legislation, regulations and policies

Reviewed on: 05 Feb 2020

The staff, attitude, variety of treatments, views, food, morning & afternoon yoga and lectures - and overall life approach - all more than compensate for outdated hotel rooms which are a bit small for two people. the spa could use central heating and a/c too. but an absolutely lovely experience. Especially the dining deck. And the short golf course - never seen a course like it.
