Miri Marriott Resort & Spa is joining hands with more than 150,000 Marriott associates - close to 3000 hotels worldwide - to mark April as the 'Environmental Awareness Month' by engaging in activities to demonstrate their commitment to preserving the environment.
Since the beginning of April, Marriott have launched campaigns to promote the benefits of a healthy environment and to highlight the resort's ongoing green initiatives.
One of the activities lined up was 'Love Our Garden' - an environmental campaign to 'pamper' the resort's 20 acres of award-winning gardens with fresh plants, soil and fertilizers with tender loving care.
'Love Our Garden'was held yesterday, in conjunction with World Earth Day, involving over 100 associates.
Miri Marriott Resort & Spa is also committed to the company-wide "Environmentally Conscious Hospitality Operations" (ECHO) programme, which focuses on four key areas - energy and water conservation, minimising climate change, waste reduction and recycling, and wildlife preservation.
Over the last three years, the resort has constantly employed sustainable environmental practices that help preserve its natural surroundings and resources - from efficient refuse collection, removal and recycling, to conserving energy and water.
"It's the right thing to do, and it's also in our business interest," says Public Relations & Communications Manager Nicholas Leong of the resort's environmental practices.
"We believe that we have a role to play in protecting our environment, and our practices reflect the environmental interests and concerns of our guests, associates, business partners and the local community."
