Marriott International is constantly working to reduce its environmental impact, build and operate sustainable hotels and source responsibly. In keeping with the company’s 2025 Sustainability and Social Impact Goals, Le Meridien Goa, Calangute proudly announces a remarkable leap forward in their sustainability efforts as it inaugurates its cutting-edge in-house water bottling plant this month. The hotel has taken a decisive step towards reducing plastic waste by eliminating all single-use plastic bottles and introducing reusable glass water bottles, treated and bottled on-site.

Addressing the critical issue of food waste management, Le Meridien Goa, Calangute has established a collaborative partnership with Welfare for Animals in Goa, wherein all leftover raw fruits and vegetables are diligently donated on a daily basis to support the sanctuary's noble cause. Additionally, the hotel has introduced the innovative "no bin day" initiative, fostering a culture of minimal wastage and further educating its internal stakeholders on the importance of responsible resource utilization.

The hotel has embraced electric mobility by installing a rapid DC 60kW charging station in partnership with ChargeZone, an EV charging Network Company. This initiative enables guests and visitors to conveniently charge their electric vehicles while enjoying the hotel's services. The hotel has also harnessed the power of solar energy as a renewable source for water heating. With a steadfast commitment to sustainability, they aim to expand its solar capacity in the long term. 

Aligning with Marriott International's Serve 360 Initiative to “Doing good in every direction”, which advocates for positive impact, Le Meridien Goa, Calangute encourages its associates and guests to actively participate in its green initiatives. By reducing linen change frequency and replacing plastic bath products with refillable amenity dispensers, guests are already making conscious choices during their stay. 

The preservation of the environment remains a paramount objective and Le Meridien Goa, Calangute believes its action has the potential not only to make an impact but also inspire others in this shared responsibility of reducing one’s carbon footprint.
