SUSTAINABILITY

At Park Hyatt Saigon, we are deeply committed to caring for our vibrant city and its natural environment. Nestled in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City, we recognize our responsibility to operate sustainably and contribute positively to the local community and ecosystem. Our efforts span from sourcing ingredients from nearby farms to reducing waste and conserving energy, all while providing guests with a luxurious experience that aligns with their values. We are proud to be part of Hyatt’s World of Care initiative, which guides our global commitment to responsible business practices.

Climate Change and Water Conservation

Park Hyatt Saigon actively works to mitigate its environmental impact through targeted energy and water conservation initiatives. In our kitchens, we utilize energy-efficient equipment including LED lighting, salamanders, and ovens, significantly reducing our carbon footprint. Across the hotel, we have installed certified energy-efficient appliances and systems to minimize electricity consumption.

For water conservation, we implement practices such as reducing water usage during food preparation and cleaning, and we offer guests the flexibility of personalized service, allowing them to opt-in to reduce water and chemical usage during their stay. These combined efforts help us manage our resource consumption responsibly.

Waste and Circularity

We embrace a zero-waste mindset throughout our operations, particularly in our culinary department, where we maximize the use of every ingredient—including trimmings—to minimize food waste. We utilize the Lumitics food waste management system to track and control food waste generation.

Single-use plastics are being systematically eliminated: takeaway packaging is made from sugarcane, coffee capsules are recycled, guestrooms feature reusable water bottles, large format bathroom amenities and toiletries made from wood and bamboo. In-room amenities are packaged in mindful materials, and digital compendiums accessed via QR codes replace printed materials.

Our Food Philosophy

At Park Hyatt Saigon, our culinary philosophy is rooted in Hyatt’s global mantra: “Food. Thoughtfully Sourced. Carefully Served.” We prioritize local, seasonal, and ethical sourcing to support Vietnamese farmers and reduce our carbon footprint. A remarkable 95% of our vegetables, fruits, and herbs are sourced locally, alongside 39% of our seafood from MSC- or ASC-certified sustainable fisheries.

We collaborate with local artisans to feature specialty products like cheese, chocolate, and nuts. Our menus are designed around seasonal availability, and we continuously innovate with plant-based options to cater to evolving guest preferences and reduce environmental impact. This thoughtful approach ensures every dish not only delights the palate but also honors our commitment to sustainability.
