ENVIRONMENT

Many initiatives have been taken to minimise the environmental impact of hotel activities, including wastewater management, organic waste, local produce, an endemic nursery, protecting bees, single use plastic. Energy usage is also a SunCARE priority. In this respect, all Sun’s hotels have been equipped with a vast network of photovoltaic panels (1.5 MW) used to heat hot water without having to impact on the national grid.

MARINE CONSERVATION

SunCARE has partnered with the University of Mauritius (UoM), as well as Western Australia and Tel Aviv universities, to educate, raise awareness, and take measurable action in regard to overfishing, pollution, acidification and other impacts on the local beaches and lagoons. This ambitious project has led to the creation of an International Marine Research Centre at La Pirogue.
