SDGs Initiatives
Royal Park Hotel endorses the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGS) advocated by the United Nations and is committed to proactively working toward the realization of a sustainable society. Food loss and environmental issues are inseparable from the hotel business.In response to these issues, each and every staff member at our hotel continues to think about what constitutes “sustainable activities” with an eye toward a better future.We would like to introduce the activities that our hotel can do to contribute to the city and society as a whole through connections with the local community.
Sustainable Development Goals
As a successor to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) formulated in 2001, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development was adopted unanimously by member states at the United Nations Summit in September 2015. This is an international goal that aims to create a sustainable and better world by 2030. Consisting of 17 goals and 169 targets, it pledges to “leave no one behind” on earth.
Initiatives Against Food Waste
Effective management of serving amounts to reduce food loss at buffets
At buffets, it can be difficult to provide the right amount of food to guests, and leftover food is often thrown away. By replacing large dishes with small bowls containing individual servings, we can prevent large amounts of leftovers and reduce waste without compromising the presentation.
Introduction of Fair Trade Certified Food and Beverages
As a hotel chain, we support fair trade initiatives by continuously purchasing raw materials and products from developing countries at fair prices to improve the lives and independence of producers and workers in those countries. As such, we are using certified fair trade coffee and wine products at the hotel.
Ideas for making effective use of food scraps to create products without waste
We are working to develop new menu items by effectively utilizing scraps generated during the process of cooking products.
*Rusks are made by effectively utilizing castella scraps.
Donating Emergency Supplies to Food Banks
We are donating disaster prevention supplies to “Second Harvest Japan“, an organization certified by Alliance of Japan Foodbanks.
・Donated a total of 2,400 meals as of September 2021
・Donated a total of 2,250 meals as of December 2021
We have created menu items that allow the same ingredients to be used across multiple restaurant.
If we have leftover food scraps or unused food items, we give them to restaurants that need them in order to avoid food loss as much as possible.

Reuse of Wastewater
Wastewater from the hotel kitchen is purified using graywater supply equipment and reused as toilet flushing water. We will contribute to improving the quality of wastewater discharged, reducing the burden on public sewers, and reducing tap water consumption.
・FY2022: Approximately 24,000 tons
Reduction of Power Consumption
We have reduced power consumption by stopping some employee elevators and diligently saving power on electrical equipment in the back office. We recorded approximately 9.67% reduction in FY2022 (compared to FY2018 before the coronavirus pandemic).
