Global Sustainability Strategy

Single-Use Plastic Free

We’re proud to offer eco-friendly dry amenities in our rooms and suites. From dental kits to shower caps, each of our amenities is made from sustainable materials like wheat straw and corn starch, designed to break down naturally within 90 days. Our commitment to sustainability extends to our packaging, which is crafted from stone paper – a durable, eco-friendly material made from calcium carbonate that outperforms traditional paper in sustainability. By sourcing these products locally, we’re not only reducing single-use plastics but also lowering our carbon footprint and supporting local businesses. Join us on our journey toward a greener future, one amenity at a time.

Weekly Beach Cleaning

We are committed to helping preserve the natural beauty of Phuket’s coastline through beach-cleaning initiatives. By collecting litter and caring for our coastal surroundings, we aim to support a cleaner beach environment for our community, guests, and local wildlife.

Carbon Footprint Menu

Through our partnership with Klimato, we measure the carbon footprint of dishes and display A–E ratings across all dining outlets, helping guests make more sustainable food choices.

This initiative makes sustainability part of the dining experience and earned us the Best Community Impact Story Award at PHIST, recognizing our efforts to raise environmental awareness through everyday dining.

Herb Garden

Our Herb Garden brings guests closer to nature through fresh herbs, garden-inspired cocktails, and hands-on cooking and cocktail-making classes. Interactive kids’ activities also encourage young guests to explore, learn, and appreciate the natural environment. More than a garden, it offers a fun and meaningful garden-to-table experience for all ages.

Zero Food Waste

We are committed to reducing food waste daily. We encourage both our staff and guests to make mindful choices and minimize waste throughout the resort. Any leftover food is donated as pig feed to local farmers, ensuring that nothing goes to waste while supporting local sustainability efforts.

Supporting Soi Dog Foundation

We are committed to supporting our community and its furry residents. We proudly partner with Soi Dog Foundation to make a difference in the lives of stray animals. Through our initiatives, we help by giving healthy, dog-friendly breakfast leftovers to those in need more than 150 kilos per month, contribute linen for their shelters, and host a donation box in our lobby for guests to contribute. These efforts underscore our commitment to improving the lives of animals in Phuket and beyond, ensuring they receive the care and support they deserve.

WATCH – We Act Together for Children

United in the fight against child sexual exploitation in tourism, our team at Pullman Phuket Karon Beach Resort is dedicated to combating this heinous crime. Through comprehensive training and strong preventive measures, we are prepared to take immediate action against any cases of sexual tourism involving children. In line with the principles of Article 2.3 of the General Code of Ethics for Tourism, we firmly reject all forms of exploitation, especially when it targets vulnerable children. Together, we are committed to ensuring that tourism remains a positive force, free from exploitation and abuse.
