SANTA MONICA, CA, UNITED STATES, February 14, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Estella Ekkamai, formerly Mövenpick Residences Ekkamai Bangkok, a modern-contemporary hotel located in the heart of Ekkamai in Bangkok, Thailand, has achieved its inaugural Green Globe certification, verifying its dedication to sustainability and responsible operations. This esteemed recognition validates the hotel’s innovative efforts in environmental
stewardship, community engagement, and operational excellence."We are honored to receive Green Globe certification. The certification proves we are committed to creating a more sustainable future," said Nussara Leksompong, Resident Manager of Estella Ekkamai. "Sustainability isn’t just about doing less harm—it’s about creating lasting value for our community and the planet.”
Estella Ekkamai has implemented a range of impactful sustainability initiatives to achieve Green Globe certification. Among its key achievements is a significant reduction in energy consumption. The property has reduced energy consumption by 10% through the installation of LED lighting, motion sensors, and optimized HVAC systems. These enhancements have minimized carbon emissions while maintaining a high level of guest comfort. "Energy efficiency is at the heart of our operations. We’re proud to demonstrate that sustainability and excellence can go hand in hand," said Nussara Leksompong, Resident Manager.
In addition to energy efficiency, Estella Ekkamai is committed to reducing its overall environmental impact through comprehensive waste management strategies. As part of its dedication to sustainability, the hotel has introduced a zero-waste initiative, working closely with local vendors to divert waste from landfills. This initiative includes composting organic waste, eliminating single-use plastics in guest rooms, and encouraging guests to actively participate in recycling efforts by sorting waste at designated stations. By integrating these sustainable practices, the hotel reduces its ecological footprint, raises awareness among guests and staff, and fosters a culture of environmental responsibility within the hospitality industry.
To support the local environment and community, the hotel’s Green Team has led numerous biodiversity and philanthropic projects, including its Canal Cleanup Project. In partnership with Accor Hotels and the TerraCycle Thai Foundation, Estella Ekkamai—Mövenpick Residences Ekkamai Bangkok at the time—contributed to an inspiring canal cleanup at Klong Lat Phrao, setting a new record by collecting over 3,000 kg of waste. This initiative made a significant impact on preserving Bangkok’s waterways, promoting environmental sustainability, and contributing to a cleaner, greener future for local communities.
In addition to enhancing the condition of Bangkok’s canals, hotel staff members have further supported the local environment and community by actively participating in the conservation of a local temple’s surrounding natural environment and extending support to flood victims through donations and recovery efforts. "Our Green Team initiatives inspire action and bring our values to life, showing how small efforts lead to big impacts," noted Ms. Leksompong.
Green Globe certification is awarded to tourism businesses that uphold the highest standards of sustainability across social, economic, cultural, and environmental dimensions. Estella Ekkamai exemplifies these principles, seamlessly integrating eco-conscious practices into its operations.
