• Comply with applicable local and national environmental regulations.
• Continually improve the environmental performance of our products and processes.
• Protect the health and safety of our guests and employees, and surrounding communities and ecosystems.
• Use natural resources, including raw materials, energy, and water, as efficiently as possible.

We will work to achieve these commitments by requiring environmental awareness training of all our employees, by evaluating products and processes for environmental acceptability in the first place, and by working collaboratively with our suppliers and the surrounding community on environmental issues.

We will promote and implement environmental practices and continuous improvement in our day-to-day operations to limit our impact on the environment where we can. Our sound environmental practices include:

• The use of power saving room key cards.
• The use of faucet aerators, which break water flow into fine droplets to maintain "wetting effectiveness" while consuming less water.
• The promotion of towel re-use in order to minimize the use of water and detergent.
• Automatic shut-down of the air-conditioning when the balcony door is opened.
• The use of pencils, not pens.
• Do Not Disturb signs being made of cloth, rather than laminated paper or plastic.
• The separation of garbage publicly at the beach and within the hotel's operations.

We will make every effort to ensure that environmental performance is an integral part of the Steigenberger Al Dau Beach Hotel's performance and of the performance of all of our employees. To this end, we will measure and periodically report on our progress in realizing these commitments.
