Mövenpick Resort Waverly Phu Quoc - Luxury hotel - Sustainability Highlights

2025 marked our transition from planning to embedded operational practice, where we prioritized circular thinking and community resilience. With our successful Green Globe Certification, we have established a clear benchmark for eco-conscious hospitality on the island.

Our Key Achievements in 2025

We focused on optimizing our systems to reduce environmental impact while enhancing the guest experience.

• Energy & resource efficiency: We significantly improved electricity consumption by optimizing chiller and pump operations.
• Expansion of Vị Garden: We expanded our integrated garden to supply key herbs like basil and mint directly to our kitchens, reducing our dependency on external supply chains.
• Waste-to-soil initiatives: We introduced probiotic composting to transform food waste into nutritious soil for our crops.
• Digital transformation: We launched a comprehensive hotel directory app in five languages and shifted to e-invoicing to drastically reduce paper and ink usage.
• Water refilling stations: We added filtered water stations throughout our buildings, allowing guests to refill bottles and helping us reduce plastic waste.

Community & Circular Impact

Sustainability at Mövenpick Phu Quoc extends beyond our property lines to support our local community and Heartists.

• Employee Flea Markets: We organized staff flea markets to resell unclaimed items, with all proceeds funding CSR activities like beach clean-ups and tree planting.
• Bee Farm experience: We introduced a weekly tour to a local bee farm, where we educate guests on biodiversity while sourcing local honey for our breakfast service.
• Linen & towel awareness: We enhanced our communication regarding linen reuse, which has significantly improved guest understanding and participation.

Our Outlook for 2026

We are preparing for even greater impact in the coming year.

• Data-driven optimization: We will use newly installed monitoring tools to track energy and water savings with high precision.
• Advanced recycling: We plan to roll out more visible recycling stations in public areas and introduce structured waste separation in our staff housing.
• Plastic reduction: We will launch branded Mövenpick flasks for guest purchase to further eliminate the need for single-use plastic bottles.
• Smoking zones: We are introducing designated outdoor smoking zones to improve resort air quality and guest comfort.

By staying committed to these goals, we continue to ensure that Mövenpick Phu Quoc remains a leader in sustainable tourism in Vietnam.
