Imagine this: nestled on the tropical shores of Phuket, Royal Phuket Marina (RPM) is not only a picture-perfect patchwork of opulent residences, buzzing restaurants and sleek yachts – but it’s also now hailed as Phuket’s one and only carbon-neutral mixed-use development! That’s right; this illustrious marina has danced its way into the green hall of fame, cutting its carbon emissions dramatically and offsetting what’s left to hit that sweet, sweet mark of carbon neutrality.
Why stop at perfection when you can strive for sustainability? RPM is not just ticking boxes; it’s creating an environmental waltz that harmonizes with the rhythms of the world. It’s a reflection – a mirror, if you will – of Thailand’s grand plan to become a beacon of green living by 2050, and of course, to lower its greenhouse gas emissions to a big zero by 2065. RPM is leading the eco-charge, proving that luxury and lifestyle can swing to the beat of sustainability.
Earlier, the Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organisation (TGO) eyed RPM and thought, ‘Well, isn’t that something?’ and handed over the shiny Carbon Footprint for Organisation (CFO) certification. That’s not a badge you earn by standing still. It requires innovation, dedication, and a little bit of green magic. RPM wears it with pride as Thailand’s exclusive marina and Phuket’s solo star in hospitality and real estate development that’s taken such a stride.
+1 for sustainability! RPM has been trimming its carbon footprint down to a neat 640 metric tons of life’s not-so-great gas – carbon dioxide. But they didn’t just cut it down; they’ve neutralised it, given it the ol’ one-two! In the ring against carbon emissions, RPM swung hard, tapping solar energy since 2016 with solar panels now pumping out up to 40% of its daily energy. A round of applause, please, for the Letter of Recognition under the Low Emission Support Scheme. And the fight continues off the marina – they’re tossing single-use plastic bottles overboard, aiming to spare our oceans from an annual deluge of some four million bottles.
And the man with the master plan, Mr. Gulu Lalvani himself–chairman of the RPM posse–shares, “It’s not just a title, it’s a token of our promise to our planet.” This carbon-neutral tale isn’t just a one-off; it’s part of RPM’s grand romance with eco-friendliness. Their strategy’s got it all: solar, water, air and a crackerjack waste management playbook. To cap it off? A nod of recognition from the government. They’ve set the green standard for marinas and developers throughout Thailand.
RPM’s eco-credentials are painting it as not just a ritzy destination for the discerning traveler but a guiding star in Asia’s journey to marine sustainability. Imagine the glory – RPM is not just whispering its success; it’s trumpeting its story from the rooftops, as a bastion of luxury and a champion for the planet.
So next time you sail into the sunset or sip that sunset cocktail at the marina, remember – you’re standing on ground that’s green in more ways than one. Royal Phuket Marina isn’t just a location; it’s a revolution, setting sail for a greener tomorrow.
