We care for Environment
Guided by an unwavering commitment to protect the precious island ecosystems where we operate, InterContinental French Polynesia is dedicated to continuously improving sustainable operations by adopting and spreading environmental best practices.
Metrics Report
The InterContinental Bora Bora Le Moana Resort submits monthly reports on its water and electricity consumption through two tools: IHG GreenEngage and GreenView Sustainability. These tools provide support in our projects and allow us to see our progress, and continually improve.
Policies
Based on the 5Rs method, waste management policies have been put in place within our hotel:
Refuse overpackaging, for example, by working on this issue with our suppliers.
Reduce our non-recyclable waste by finding more eco-friendly alternatives or by completely substituting them.
Reuse our objects by repairing them or donating them to staff or associations.
Recycle all recyclable objects: they will be sent to the right recycling center.
Single-Use Plastics
You will not find any plastic straws on our resort, and we use refillable amenity dispensers in guest rooms. We continue working to reduce and eliminate single-use plastics throughout the hotel, with the goal of banning them completely on our properties by 2025.
Fountains are available to our guests for refilling the water bottle provided to them upon arrival.
Trainings
Our staff is trained in waste reduction tactics, with an emphasis on reducing or recycling waste such as plastic bottles, using recyclable waste for decorations, and teaching sorting and composting techniques.
Aromatic garden
Our aromatic plant garden was created from used bamboo and allows us to grow our own organic ingredients for the bars and restaurants while minimizing packaging waste and food transportation emissions.
Waste sorting
We sort all of our waste. Each type of waste will find its proper place in the appropriate treatment process. To assist us in this mission, recycling bins are provided for our guests.
