Sustainability at the Eden Leisure Group: A Commitment to ESG Principles

Embracing the principles of ESG (Environment, Social, and Governance), the Eden Leisure Group has woven sustainability into the fabric of its core values. Evolving from sporadic CSR initiatives, the company has established a dedicated team within its ranks, actively driving initiatives to enhance economic, environmental, and social sustainability.

1. Carbon Footprint Management: The group conducts annual audits to measure its Carbon Footprint, setting targets for continuous improvement. In 2023, substantial strides were made, including the conversion of all lighting to reduce energy consumption, the introduction of aerators to water taps, and the donation of unused hotel linen, crockery, furniture, and appliances.  Investments are continuously being made to reduce and mitigate its carbon emissions.
2. Plastic Reduction Initiatives: Taking a bold stance against plastic use, the group eliminated plastic key cards in its hotels, replacing them with biodegradable alternatives. Additionally, all guest amenities were revamped with refillable substitutes. A water filtration system has been installed to replace single-use plastic and glass bottles in guest rooms and meetings with reusable, filtered water bottles.
3. Waste Reduction Strategies: Adopting a comprehensive approach, the group consistently works to minimise waste production. A thorough analysis of various business units is conducted to identify and implement measures that reduce their environmental impact.
4. Educational Campaigns: Leveraging its influential media platforms, the group spearheads educational campaigns to promote sustainability. These initiatives range from raising nationwide awareness on environmental issues to emphasising the importance of physical and mental well-being within its own organisation.
5. Social & Wellness Programme: The group places a premium on the well-being of its staff, implementing a robust Social & Wellness programme. This initiative encompasses social activities, mental and physical health programs, educational events, team-building activities, and active participation in countryside clean-ups. Volunteering with charitable institutions further reinforces the group’s commitment to social responsibility.
6. Community Support: Demonstrating a commitment to national heritage, the group pledged support in 2017 by donating €100,000 to organizations such as Din L-Art Helwa and Fondazzjoni Wirt Artna. This financial backing has contributed to crucial historical projects, including the restoration of the 19th Century Organ at Our Lady of Victories in Valletta and the reconstruction of the Guthrie Bridge at Fort Rinella.

Through these multifaceted initiatives, the Eden Leisure Group exemplifies its unwavering dedication to sustainability, embodying ESG principles in every facet of its operations and community engagement.  For more information, please visit Sustainability Page – Eden Leisure Group
