We recognise as a hotel that we have impacts on the local environment and have implemented a number of initiatives to reduce our impact. We see this as an ongoing program and continually seek to improve upon what we currently do:
- Recycling of all cans, bottles, glass, & paper
- Composting of kitchen scraps
- Proper treatment of waste water
- Low energy lighting throughout the hotel
- All air conditioners are regularly serviced and activated in room by key card access
- Guests have the option to decline daily linen changes
- Training program for all staff on waste reduction, environmental issues and responsible tourism
- By end 2009 all hot water will be provided by solar power
Community
In creating this accommodation we made a commitment to look after Cambodia and her people. We are dedicated to providing a beautiful accommodation option that helps benefit and develop the local community.
Our team of local staff are our greatest asset, and we pride ourselves on helping them develop their skills and capabilities for the future. We actively recruit from the local community with an emphasis on female employees. This includes a paid maternity leave program. We focus on providing an opportunity for entry level staff to train in other departments, and move through our organisation. We pride ourselves on being a fair pay, equal opportunity employer.
In addition to our direct hotel management practices we have also created a village enrichment program - the Treak Village Enrichment Program. This program was created in conjunction with the village chief with the mission to directly help the community where the accommodation is located.
In 2009 four key areas are being targeted.
- The provision of Water Filters to give families access to safe water.
- Water Wells, to improve access to water – often people are carrying water many times a day to their home.
- Tree Grants – To provide fruit trees enabling families to supplement their income
- Rubbish Collection – To provide a rubbish collection service within the village.
This program is funded in several ways. 7% of the accommodation's profits are donated to this program, 50% of our Treak Village Tour fee is donated to the program, and customers are able to make direct contributions to this program. We have made a long term commitment to Treak Village and are excited about working with village, assisting them to improve their environment.
We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
