Monday, February 12, 2024

ONYX Hospitality Group, a distinguished name in the hospitality sector based in Bangkok, is advancing its sustainability journey with significant developments, including a landmark partnership with UNESCO for Cultural Sustainability and a commitment to achieving Carbon Neutrality.

This collaboration positions ONYX as the first hospitality management firm in the Asia Pacific to make a long-term commitment towards cultural sustainability, showcasing their dedication to safeguarding cultural heritage and promoting community-based tourism across Asia and the Pacific, especially in regions where they operate.

With an impressive portfolio and a vision to expand to over 50 properties by 2025 and 70 by 2028, ONYX Hospitality Group is integrating ambitious growth with sustainability initiatives. This dual focus underscores their mission to become “The Best Medium-sized Hospitality Management Company in Southeast Asia,” while emphasizing the importance of reducing travel footprints for future generations. ONYX’s commitment to sustainability is structured around four pillars – Opportunity, Nature, Youth, and Collaboration – which collectively aim to support underprivileged communities, promote environmental awareness, engage youth in development, and establish collaborations for cultural, social, and community sustainability.

The partnership with UNESCO is a testament to ONYX’s commitment to intertwining cultural and contemporary experiences across its hotels and resorts, inviting guests to immerse in local cultures and support the preservation of intangible heritage. This approach not only enriches guest experiences but also contributes to the socio-economic development of host communities through initiatives like promoting local cuisine, traditional performances, and collaboration with local artisans.

Furthermore, ONYX’s collaboration with WWF Thailand on the Sustainable Consumption and Production Project highlights their focus on ESG principles, sustainable food systems, biodiversity preservation, and community engagement. Achieving Carbon Footprint for Organization certification from the Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization for 11 properties in 2023 marks a significant step towards their goal of Net Zero Operations, reflecting ONYX Hospitality Group’s broader commitment to sustainability and responsible tourism.
