Jumeirah Hotels & Resorts

Reducing waste where we can

Our restaurants offer a range of international menus and innovative dining experiences, and we want guests to be able to fully enjoy their meal knowing that we are doing everything we can to ensure we keep food waste to a minimum. To do this, we rely on cutting-edge AI technology to track how we use ingredients and make changes to the way we purchase items, to ensure as little as possible is thrown away. We’ve also embraced composting – something that’s so simple to do in your own garden – and, by introducing a Bokashi fermentation bin at Jumeirah’s colleague accommodations in the United Arab Emirates, have saved 150kg of waste from going to landfill. Instead, the thrown-away food is enriching the soil at the site’s vegetable garden.

Working towards a greener future in line with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals means exploring ethical options. This is something we’ve pioneered at Jumeirah Living World Trade Centre Residences in Dubai with its rooftop solar panels. In addition, energy-saving LED lightbulbs have been retrofitted across many of our properties, which has led to a marked reduction in energy consumption
