Top 5 Reasons Why Beleza is South Goa's Most Sustainable Beach Resort
At Beleza by the Beach, we are dedicated to creating a sustainable hospitality experience that meets present needs without compromising the needs of future generations. Our commitment to environmental protection, economic growth, and social development is evident in every aspect of our operations.
Top 5 Ways Beleza is Embracing Sustainability
Water Conservation
We have invested in a state-of-the-art sewage treatment plant to recycle water for our gardens and cleaning, significantly reducing our reliance on freshwater resources. This initiative aligns with global trends, as investments in water treatment infrastructure have surged in recent years. According to the World Bank, global investments in water supply and sanitation infrastructure are expected to reach $1 trillion annually by 2030.
Reducing Paper and Plastic Usage
To minimize waste, we have digitized our menus and are exploring further ways to reduce paper and plastic consumption. This aligns with the global movement to reduce single-use plastics. The United Nations Environment Programme estimates that over 8 million tonnes of plastic waste enter the oceans each year, highlighting the urgency of reducing plastic consumption.
Eco-Friendly Amenities
We have replaced plastic key cards with wooden alternatives and provided our staff with sustainable footwear made from recycled materials. These small changes contribute to the larger global effort to reduce plastic waste and promote sustainable practices.
Beach Clean-Up Drives
We regularly organize beach clean-ups to maintain the beauty and cleanliness of our local beaches. These initiatives support global efforts to combat marine pollution, as plastic waste poses a significant threat to marine ecosystems.
Local and Sustainable Sourcing
Our restaurants partner with local farmers to bring farm-to-table practices to life. We also use locally sourced, cold-pressed coconut oil in our spa. This approach supports local economies and reduces the environmental impact associated with long-distance transportation of food and products.
Beyond Sustainability: Positive Development
At Beleza, we aim to go beyond the traditional definitions of sustainability. We not only strive to minimize our environmental footprint but also actively work to enhance the ecosystems and communities around us. Our mission is to create a hospitality experience that revitalizes the environment for future generations. Through eco-friendly practices, community involvement, and a commitment to sustainability, Beleza offers a unique destination for those seeking a luxurious stay that respects and nurtures the planet.
