Environmental Sustainability

Caring for the planet is a natural extension of Hyatt’s purpose – to care for people so they can be their best. At Hyatt Regency Hong Kong, Sha Tin, we are taking a number of steps to help make a difference.

With the purpose of leading the sustainability efforts of the hotel, we have established a ESG committee which consists of colleagues from different departments. We use Hyatt EcoTrack to track sustainability metrics including greenhouse gas emissions, energy, water, waste, and recycling. These insights are important to help advance efficiency improvements.
