EEG already boasts an impressive record in energy auditing in the global hospitality sector, but this contract win is significant because it is the first time the company has been contracted to audit a whole group.
Sun Resorts Ltd own and manage five prestigious hotels in Mauritius, and one island resort in the Maldives (Kanuhura, which was voted the best private island resort in the world last year.) The company’s flagship property is Le Touessrok, a five-star luxury resort and golf course and member of the Leading Hotels of the World. The group has received many awards over the years for excellent service and attention to detail in ensuring guests have everything they need.
EEG has signed a comprehensive agreement to carry out energy audits of all six resorts, in addition to their central laundry in Mauritius. The project starts in June is expected to be completed by the end of the year. EEG will be looking at the opportunities for individual energy efficiency measures in every property, in addition to building the appropriate group-wide energy and sustainability dash boarding and employee engagement.
Speaking about the new contract, Ronald Diab, Managing Director of EEG said, “We are delighted to be working with Sun Resorts Ltd. By undertaking energy audits across the whole group, we will be able to maximise energy efficiencies company-wide whilst instigating a new top to bottom employee engagement towards full sustainability. This will not only result in significant cost savings for the group, it will also help the environment by reducing energy usage and related emissions. We look forward to working with each property’s team and the management in order to complete the projects and help the group move towards its higher sustainability goals.”
