JW MARRIOTT MUMBAI JUHU INTRODUCES ARC - A VISION FOR SUSTAINABLE HOSPITALITY.

Mumbai, April, 2024:  JW Marriott Mumbai Juhu, renowned for its commitment to excellence in hospitality and sustainability, unveils ARC, a framework of values and initiatives which acts as a fulcrum to the endeavor towards holistically sustainable operations. ARC stands for Aware, Regenerative and Collaborative. It’s a program to honor the properties commitment to sustainable practices, weaving through every aspect of its operations. The foundation for sustainability efforts at JW Marriott Mumbai Juhu lies in Serve 360’s Sustain Responsible Operations coordinate, which encompasses initiatives to reduce global carbon, water, and waste footprints. “Serve Our World” is one of the core values and guides the entire Marriott ecosystem in how its hotels do business.

Aware, the first pillar of ARC, is a symbol of our mindfulness for the environment. It’s evident in our willingness to share our journey towards climate fluidity and we take pride in presenting it through the spaces in our hotel like the Serene Space, the JW Garden, the Lotus Pond with Koi fish and numerous other touch points and digital communication with the guests, staff, and the community. We believe that by being open about our efforts, we can inspire one and all to actively participate in our collective mission of building a more sustainable world.  

Regenerative, the second pillar of ARC, is our ability to be standing tall for the last 22 years and be agile to the times and changing natural conditions. It finds expression in the way the hotel has transformed over the years and continues to innovate, guided by the principals of Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. Some of the key initiatives in the area are listed below.

• A robust terry and linen recycling programme 

• Organic residential bath amenities ensure optimum consumption

• Inclusion of botanicals created with green plants, dry branches and rocks are more sustainable than cut flowers 

• An advanced recycling mechanism for water that is in turn used for surface use

• 100% hotel waste management system that produces organic manure for our own and community agriculture. 

• Optimization of HVAC across the hotel to consume minimum power and yield highest financial efficiency. 

• 45% of the total power consumption is fueled by Wind energy and solar power 

Collaborative, the third pillar of ARC, is reflected in the hotel’s partnerships and community engagements. Some of the initiatives in this domain include the sustainable food sourcing program covering seafood, cage free eggs and greens that support local farmers and fishermen, employee volunteering programs for beach cleaning, donation drives, tree plantation and the activities like Earth Hour Unplug and Reconnect where we urge our guests to be a part of the experiences.

“ARC is more than just a visual identity, it’s a symbol of our unwavering commitment to sustainability. These are interesting transformative times for the icon that JW Marriott Mumbai Juhu has been. 2024 is a year of great strides and by integrating ARC into every aspect of our operations, we invite our guests and partners to join us on this journey towards a greener, more responsible world. ” said Girish Gaikwad, Chief Earth Officer, JW Marriott Mumbai Juhu.
