Cinnamon Bey’s own water policy seeks to conserve and optimise the use of water obtained from surface and ground water sources. They also attempt to re-use waste water when possible, after treatment, to reduce the intake of fresh water. The hotel actively engages in recycling water being used for gardening and washing requirements of the property.

Secondly, the hotel strongly believes in the manta: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle, and multiple initiatives are in place to meet their waste reduction goals. A state-of-the-art waste management system has enabled Cinnamon Bey to effectively segregate, recycle and responsibly dispose of waste in an environmentally-friendly manner.

Wet waste is used to generate energy whilst the remainder is sent to local piggeries. Recyclable material obtained from dry waste is sent to recyclers certified by the Central Environmental Authority and garden waste is used to generate eco-friendly fertilisers. Lastly, protecting the bio-diversity and natural elements around the hotel has become second nature to Cinnamon Bey. The launch of Cinnamon Nature Trails and the training of expert naturalists enable them to pass on this knowledge to our guests and staff as well.

“We have an impact on the lives of our guests, our employees, the communities we work in, our suppliers and business partners, and surrounding environments. In addition, we meet the financial needs of our key investors and shareholders. We also inspire others to adopt sustainable practices and engage in projects that uplift the lives of those in need. We help preserve the limited resources of the planet whilst enhancing guests experiences with us”.

“Our vision is to facilitate the socio economic progress of the communities we operate in, whilst minimising our environment footprint. We have, in fact, reduced our carbon footprint by 2 to 0.8 metric tonnes (as at now) – an achievement that was possible due to our group’s efficient sustainability policy”.

Cinnamon Bey recognise the vital need to protect the biodiversity and natural environment that thrives all around Sri Lanka. That is why they have helped launch Cinnamon Nature Trails, an educational experiences for guests across Cinnamon Hotels. Through this initiative expert naturalists teach participants, guests and hotel staff alike, all about the nature all around them and how to protect it.

And it is through Cinnamon Nature Trails that they have launched their many environmental projects, including Project Leopard and Project Whale, a whale-watching conservation program in the Trincomalee sea. Another great example is The Cinnamon Elephant Project which is all about developing the best practices in elephant tourism.

With a collaborative effort between Cinnamon Hotels and The Centre for Conservation and Research, elephants are identified based on their morphological characters and life stories, with the help of Cinnamon’s resident naturalists, and in the newly-constructed elephant research station guests taking part in the safaris can have a more enriching and personal experience, knowing that there is no exploitation of these majestic creatures taking places.

Supported by all Cinnamon hotels, Project Leopard based in Yala is the group’s on-going project in its fourth year of operation. This project has the dual objective of supporting local cattle farmers and protecting the leopard community living in and out of the boundaries of the national park. Steel pens have been distributed to cattle farmers so that they can protect their livestock, an effort that won the distinguished Davis Award for Peace in 2020, from the University of Clark, USA. All of this is in an effort to protect and conserve leopards in Sri Lanka.

In the effort to lower their carbon emissions, all Cinnamon hotels have collaborated in an effort to increase energy efficiency. That is why all the hotels, including Cinnamon Bey use low energy-consuming equipment, replacing higher energy-consuming units. As an on-going process, many Cinnamon hotels have also been fitted with bio-gas digesters. All food waste is used to generate bio-gas, which goes on to power the kitchens. While Cinnamon Bey doesn’t have one yet, it certainly is on the cards!
