Pan Pacific Hotels Group achieves GSTC Multi-Site Certification for Sustainable Tourism

March 23, 2024 - PRLog -- Pan Pacific Hotels Group (PPHG) has attained the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) Industry Criteria for Hotels certification for its Singapore properties, also achieving the largest number of GSTC-certified room stock and certified properties (hotels & serviced suites) in Singapore – solidifying the Group's commitment to sustainability and reinforcing its position as a leader in environmentally-conscious hospitality.

The GSTC Criteria is the global standard for sustainable travel and tourism. The GSTC Industry Criteria for Hotels fosters sustainable tourism practices across four key areas: effective sustainability planning, maximising social and economic benefits for the local community, enhancing cultural heritage, and reducing negative impact to the environment.

In February 2024, Pan Pacific Hotels Group attained the GSTC Multi-Site certification for all eight of the Group's properties in Singapore. Additionally, seven of its properties – Pan Pacific Singapore, PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay, Singapore, PARKROYAL COLLECTION Pickering, Singapore, PARKROYAL on Beach Road, Pan Pacific Serviced Suites Orchard, Pan Pacific Serviced Suites Beach Road, and PARKROYAL Serviced Suites – have obtained ISO14001 certification, an internationally recognized standard for environmental management systems (EMS). Pan Pacific Orchard, Singapore is in the process of securing ISO14001 certification.

Today, PPHG integrates sustainable practices across its business operations and hospitality design, with the PARKROYAL COLLECTION brand leading the Group's sustainability efforts. The focus includes green building design, local arts and cultural immersion, and community engagement, aiming to balance economic growth with social responsibility, arts preservation, and environmental stewardship. The Group seeks to continue engaging guests in eco-conscious travel experiences. This endeavour has allowed PPHG to become the first Singapore hotel group to undertake and successfully complete the GSTC multi-site certification.
