After a first successful year, Hilton Bahrain is pleased to announce its continuous commitment to the “Ramadan Al -Akhdar” initiative, while strengthening its activities for the second year in a row. In cooperation with the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) – West Asia, Wino, Gombok, Hilton Bahrain devotes his efforts to reducing food waste during the holy month of Ramadan, focusing on the importance of local sources and responsible consumption.
As part of this initiative, Hilton Bahrain concluded a distinguished partnership with the Bahraini Food Bank and the peninsula farms. Where a special corner is allocated in breakfast to display local products that are brought directly from the peninsula farms, which allows guests an opportunity to taste Bahraini organic products and support the local agricultural sector.
Research of the United Nations Environment Program – West Asia indicates that wasting food rises significantly during religious and social occasions, including Ramadan. From this standpoint, Hilton Bahrain takes proactive measures to address this problem, in line with the goals of “purposeful travel 2030” for Hilton, which seeks to reduce food waste sent to waste dumps by 50%.
To achieve accurate measurement and effective food waste control, Hilton Bahrain has applied the Winnow system, which depends on data to determine the areas that need to improve and develop effective strategies to reduce waste. Through the accurate follow -up of the food loss rate, the hotel is obligated to make enlightened decisions that contribute to developing a sustainable food management system.
In addition to redistributing the surplus of food through the Bahrain Food Bank, Hilton Bahrain is cooperating with the peninsula farms to convert unimable food residue into a fertilizer rich in nutrients. This fertilizer will be used to improve the quality of local soil, which enhances agricultural sustainability in society.
Tamer Farouk, General Manager of the Hilton Bahrain Hotel, expressed his enthusiasm towards strengthening the “Ramadan Al -Akhdar” initiative, saying:
“We are proud to be part of Hilton’s commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility. When our guests enjoy breakfast and patch, they are not only participating in a distinguished dining experience, but they also become part of a noble issue aimed at reducing food waste and supporting local communities. Through partnerships and cooperation and we pave the way towards a more sustainable future.”
Hilton Bahrain invites its guests to join these efforts during the month of Ramadan, to enjoy delicious and delicious meals, while leaving a positive impact on the environment and local societies.
