The resort in Oman has partnered with British firm Co2nsensus
Six Senses Zighy Bay in Oman has launched scheme to monitor guests' carbon emissions and help offset them.
The resort in Mussandam has partnered with Co2nsensus, a British company that works on measuring and offsetting the carbon emissions produced from stays.
After calculating the amount of carbon produced per guest per night, the resort will donate $10 per room night to a Wind Power plant-based in Balıkesir, Turkey.
The plant reduces the amount of Co2 emitted to the environment by 55,370 tonnes per year, helping power the local community in a sustainable way while also meeting four of the UN's sustainability goals.
Gauderic Harang, general manager at Six Senses Zighy Bay, said:
"Six Senses is all about innovation and doing things differently, and perhaps our greatest achievement is about finding new ways to protect the planet. By offering this Carbon Neutral rate, guests can be assured that their stay with us is at no cost to the environment.
"We can't wait for like-minded guests to join us in our efforts, and we look forward to sharing with them the work we do, of course between relaxing and enjoying the serenity that our resort brings."
The resort has other sustainability drives, including the recycling of 80 percent of waste on-site, diving deep to clean up the Gulf of Oman, growing fresh produce for its restaurants in the organic farm and garden, and contributing to the local communities access to education and healthcare.
