Sustainability

<p>Discovery Primea continues to reinforce its commitment to sustainability with strategic initiatives that place environmental responsibility at the heart of its operations. Through a combination of energy-efficient systems, renewable energy sourcing, and meaningful community partnerships, the luxury hotel is taking steady steps toward a more responsible and environmentally conscious future.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Eco-Conscious Experiences</h2>
<p>At Discovery Primea, the commitment to sustainability is reflected in thoughtful initiatives throughout the property - including the availability of <strong><a href="https://www.bambike.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bambikes.</a> </strong>These handcrafted bicycles are made from bamboo, a strong, fast-growing, and renewable resource. Not only do they reduce reliance on carbon-emitting vehicles, they also support local artisans and fair-trade practices. Incorporating Bambikes into the property's offerings is one of the many ways Discovery Primea continues to move toward a more sustainable and community-conscious future.</p>
<p>Checked-in guests are welcome to use the Bambikes at no additional cost. These bikes are ideal for exploring the area and are especially well-suited for enjoying Ayala's Car-Free Sundays with friends and family. This initiative encourages low-impact, eco-friendly transportation while providing a meaningful and enjoyable way to experience the city.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Comprehensive Waste Management</h2>
<p>Effective waste management is fundamental to our sustainability initiatives at Discovery Primea. We take pride in our on-site Material Recovery Facility, where we meticulously sort and handle all recyclable and hazardous waste. This facility plays a crucial role in ensuring proper disposal, minimizing our environmental footprint, and contributing to a cleaner and safer community.</p>
<p>To further our waste reduction efforts, we have implemented a coffee capsule recycling program. In collaboration with our supplier, used coffee capsules are collected and sent to a specialized recycling facility. There, they are processed and repurposed, reinforcing our commitment to a circular economy and significantly reducing landfill waste.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Energy Conservation Initiatives</h2>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-PH">Our approach to energy conservation demonstrates how small changes can create significant impact. We began by replacing conventional lighting with energy-efficient LED bulbs throughout the hotel, leading to substantial reductions in our energy consumption. Regular energy audits have become integral to our operations, allowing us to continuously optimize our energy use, while our staff actively participates in energy-saving practices, reinforcing our collective responsibility.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-PH">One of its most significant sustainability investments is its partnership with <strong><a href="https://www.grundfos.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Grundfos</a>,</strong> a global leader in advanced pump solutions. With Grundfos technology powering its water systems, Discovery Primea is able to optimize water pressure while reducing energy consumption, ensuring operational efficiency with a lighter environmental footprint. The system has allowed the hotel to meet the high standards of modern luxury hospitality without compromising on resource conservation.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-PH">As part of its long-term environmental goals, Discovery Primea has also partnered with <strong><a href="https://www.adventenergy.com.ph/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AdventEnergy</a> </strong>to source electricity from cleaner, more sustainable energy solutions.<em> </em><em>&ldquo;We&rsquo;ve taken key steps to align our operations with more sustainable energy practices, including a partnership with AdventEnergy that allows us to explore cleaner power options,&rdquo; said <strong>David Pardo Ayala</strong>, General Manager of Discovery Primea</em></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Water Conservation Efforts</h2>
<p>Water, a precious resource, became another focal point in our sustainability journey. We introduced low-flow water fixtures to reduce consumption without compromising guest comfort. Our team conducts regular maintenance checks to promptly repair any leaks, ensuring that not a drop is wasted. By using natural groundwater from our lowest basement to water our plants, we took another step toward sustainable resource management.</p>
<p>In line with our commitment to clean water access, we have partnered with Waves for Water, supporting their mission to bring clean drinking water to communities in need. This collaboration reinforces our belief that sustainability extends beyond our walls, empowering communities to thrive through the responsible use of resources.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Reducing Waste</h2>
<p>In a further step toward reducing waste, Discovery Primea has also transitioned to digital in-room guest communication tools. In partnership with The Digital Hotelier, the hotel has replaced printed materials with a streamlined digital platform that allows guests to access hotel information, dining options, and services from their personal devices. This initiative not only reduces paper usage but also aligns with the hotel&rsquo;s goal of delivering a more seamless and sustainable guest experience.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Green Purchasing Practices</h2>
<p>Every choice we make, from the gifts we give our staff to the amenities we provide our guests, is an opportunity to support and promote sustainability. We prioritize purchasing environmentally responsible products, ensuring that our actions align with our values and contribute to a healthier planet.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Future Sustainability Initiatives</h2>
<p>Our journey is far from over. We are excited to transition to bulk bathroom amenities, a move that will significantly reduce plastic waste. We are also exploring the introduction of an in-house water refilling station to offer even more sustainable options.&nbsp;</p>
<p>With sustainability as a core value, Discovery Primea continues to evolve &mdash; thoughtfully balancing comfort, innovation, and care for the environment.</p>
