W Kuala Lumpur’s Commitment to Sustainability

W Kuala Lumpur’s unwavering dedication to sustainability is redefining the very essence of luxury events. From galas and conferences to intimate gatherings, every event hosted at W Kuala Lumpur will now leave a minimal ecological footprint while maximizing the experience for guests.

This commitment aligns with Marriott International’s broader sustainability efforts encapsulated in Serve 360, a holistic commitment to creating positive and sustainable impacts wherever the brand operates.

According to General Manager Volker Burth:

“W Kuala Lumpur’s efforts provide corporate clients an opportunity to position themselves as socially and environmentally responsible brands. This can enhance their image among stakeholders who prioritize sustainability. By choosing a venue like W Kuala Lumpur, which integrates sustainability into its offerings, corporate clients can set themselves apart in the market.”

Eco-Friendly Initiatives in Event Planning

The key initiatives implemented by W Kuala Lumpur include:

• Sourcing locally produced organic ingredients for catering.
• Reducing single-use plastics in all aspects of operations.
• Implementing innovative recycling programs.

By sourcing locally, the hotel reduces transportation emissions and supports local farmers who use organic farming techniques, which often require fewer pesticides and synthetic fertilizers.

W Kuala Lumpur’s Executive Chef Haznizam Hamzah stated:

“Corporate clients are increasingly favoring locally produced organic ingredients due to a growing emphasis on health and wellness, with organic options perceived as healthier choices.”

Fostering Environmental Stewardship

Zoe Seow remarked on the hotel’s shift towards sustainable operations as clients become more environmentally conscious:

“As clients are being more environmentally cautious, our responsibility is to promote and offer practices that reduce the use of resources and waste in meetings and events.”

W Kuala Lumpur is committed to fostering a culture of environmental stewardship among its staff and guests through training programs that inspire sustainable lifestyles.

In summary, W Kuala Lumpur believes that luxury and responsibility can coexist, offering extraordinary experiences for guests while minimizing environmental impact.
