The Hyatt Centric and GreenRe-certified plan prioritizes on–site green initiatives

In line with Hyatt’s World of Care objectives, Hyatt Centric Kota Kinabalu has joined the global effort to promote sustainable tourism, to ensure the resilience of their destination and local communities.

The hotel has been awarded the Silver Certification by GreenRE, Malaysia’s leading green building certification body, for its commitment to green building excellence. This is entirely in line with  Hyatt‘s World of Care commitments and a great step towards more comprehensive sustainability.

Energy And Water Conservation

Hyatt Centric Kota Kinabalu is the first hotel in Sabah to utilize air-cooled chillers with 300 tonnes of cooling capacity, which eliminates the need for condenser pumps and saves up to 35 percent of energy consumption.

It also runs a cutting-edge water condensation programme that recycles condensated water from air conditioning, which is then used in the hotel’s bamboo gardens, at ON22 restaurant and ON23 rooftop bar.

Responsible Sourcing

The property also prioritizes responsible sourcing of food and beverages and is actively seeking Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) and Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) certifications to ensure sustainable seafood procurement.

These plans also collaborate with sister hotel, Hyatt Regency Kinabalu in working with local farmers to purchase Cage Free Eggs by 2025 as part of Hyatt Global goals. Sustainability is also considered when purchasing cleaning chemicals and detergents, with preference given to EcoVadis-certified products.

Raising awareness of the environment

This first Hyatt Centric-branded hotel in Southeast Asia is committed to raising awareness about the environment and taking steps to protect it. They minimize pollution and support biodiversity through various measures. Waste water is treated before being discharged, and they strictly prohibit any trade or promotion of illegal wildlife products.
