Sustainability & Eco Travel

Like everybody else in the world, we, at Safestay, are concerned with the urgent need to offset the impact of tourism on the environment. Travelling is a unique experience that should be enjoyed without causing damage to the planet. 

We want Safestay to uphold its responsibility towards the world community.

We want to play our part and we know that, to stay on track, we need to keep it simple.

Our sole purpose is to help you go and see the world in a fun, value experience. And if you want to travel we want you to do so without being concerned with your impact.
Or ours for that matter.

Once you get to any of our Safestay locations, the carbon consumption impact comes mostly from aircon, where available; chemicals being dumped into the environment by industrial laundries; poorly managed energy consumption and waste.

We will take those in turn. 

Energy Conservation

Where we own the building we are installing solar panels and make contributions to offset carbon emissions to zero. We use external companies to measure our consumption so we can adopt improvements. We aim to understand how to reduce consumption by adopting new to market, energy efficient technology. It also allows us to determine contributions to offset our utilities carbon consumption.

Water Conservation

Linen washing is the next big impact area. Safestay aims to work with suppliers that have well established environmental credentials. The use of environmentally friendly chemicals or the commitment to do so by 2020 are central to renewing contracts and we also ask guests to avoid unnecessary linen wash.

Waste Reduction

And we are invested in dealing with waste in a responsible manner. We are installing bluetoothed bar code locks to erradicate key cards. We have eliminated plastic packaging and adopted selective waste management. We use upcycled furniture and when not possible we use renewable local materials. We segregate waste in line with the capability of each local government.
