Hotels have embraced the new "Plastic Free" regulations, which prohibit the provision of free disposable plastic toiletries to guests. Hotel Stage's General Manager, Mr. Alex Wu Shui-Lun, stated that the hotel has replaced seven types of plastic toiletries with sustainable alternatives and installed water filtration systems. In the first month alone, the hotel reduced its use of disposable plastic bottles by approximately 3,000 and small plastic toiletry bottles by 5,000. Wu noted that eco-friendly tourism is becoming increasingly popular, and guests have shown no dissatisfaction with the new policies, often bringing their own toiletries.

What we do
Our goal is to teach people about ESG in a fun and interesting way. All the projects we work on are based on the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals. These goals are a set of important objectives that the United Nations has created to make the world a better and more sustainable place. We want more people all around the world to know about these goals and support them.
Here are the 3 things we do:
- TRAINING We teach people and help them learn about the Sustainable Development Goals and ESG impacts to their daily lives.
- CAMPAIGN We design projects and do activities to spread awareness about the Sustainable Development Goals.
- SEMINAR We organize meetings where people can come together to talk about important topics and learn from each other.
