Sustainability

At Pullman Palm Cove Sea Temple Resort & Spa, we are dedicated to making a positive impact on the environment and our community. Nestled between two World Heritage areas, the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree Rainforest, our commitment to sustainability is not just a choice but a profound responsibility. We strive to integrate sustainable practices into every aspect of our operations, ensuring that we provide our guests with an eco-friendly and responsible stay while preserving the unparalleled beauty of our planet for future generations.

 

OUR SUSTAINABILITY PILLARS

Environment: Pullman Palm Cove Sea Temple Resort & Spa is situated on the traditional land of the Yirrganydji people, the Traditional Custodians of the narrow coastal strip of land between the rainforest and the sea from Cairns North to the Mowbray River just before Port Douglas. We are committed to preserving this unique ecosystem through sustainable practices.

Sustainable Practices: We are dedicated to minimizing our environmental footprint. Our efforts include reducing waste through recycling programs, and utilizing energy-efficient technologies to conserve resources.

Local Farm-to-Table Cuisine: Our restaurants and bars prioritize locally sourced ingredients to reduce food miles and support local farmers and suppliers.

OUR CULTURAL PILLARS

Responsible Tourism: We promote responsible tourism, encouraging guests to respect First Nations customs and traditions and to seek out authentic experiences and tours. Additionally, we refrain from selling merchandise derived from heritage artifacts or culturally significant items.

OUR ACHIEVEMENTS

Refillable Water Stations: We have installed refillable water stations in all food and beverage outlets to reduce single-use plastics.

Elimination of Single-Use Plastics: We have eliminated plastic dry amenities such as toothbrushes, combs, bin liners, and shower caps and have introduced refillable amenities like body wash, shampoo, and conditioner.

Educational Materials: We provide in-room educational materials promoting towel and bedding reuse, and guidance on the responsible use of amenities.

OUR FUTURE INITIATIVES

Food Waste Reduction: Implementing measures to reduce and measure food waste.

Sustainable Stay Guide: Developing a guest guide to a sustainable stay at Pullman Palm Cove Sea Temple Resort & Spa, accessible through our digital compendium.
