Far East Hospitality sets Singapore record with 16 GSTC certifications

The company attributed its feat to efforts such as emissions tracking.

Far East Hospitality achieved Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) Industry Criteria for Hotels Certification for all 16 of its hotels, making it the hospitality group with the largest number of GSTC-certified sites in Singapore.

The company achieved the feat through sustainability initiatives like annual tracking and monitoring of energy, water, waste, and carbon emissions data.

The company also created the Far More Sustainable framework to encourage guests to reuse towels and linens, eliminate single-use plastic water bottles, and switch to large amenity dispensers.

Partnering with Control Union, an independent global network of inspection operations, GSTC promotes environmentally responsible practices within the industry and ensures accredited entities meet rigorous sustainability criteria.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
