Sustainability

Veriu comes from the Latin word ‘verus’ which means true and genuine.

As a business, we aim to create authentic connections between people and places. Protecting these places and limiting our impact on the environment wherever possible is a key consideration.

Veriu Group is proud to be at the forefront of sustainable practices in the hospitality industry. As a provider of boutique hotels and serviced apartments, we recognise the importance of minimising our environmental impact and contributing to a greener future.

Our commitment to sustainability is deeply ingrained in our corporate culture, guiding our operations, policies, and initiatives.

Energy Efficiency and Conservation

At Veriu Group, we are dedicated to reducing energy consumption across our properties. We have implemented energy-efficient lighting systems, including LED bulbs, throughout our hotels and apartments. In addition, we have installed motion sensors and timers to ensure that lights and air conditioning are only active when needed. Our buildings are equipped with smart thermostats, enabling us to optimise temperature control and reduce energy waste. These measures not only minimie our carbon footprint but also help us achieve cost savings, which we pass on to our guests.

Embracing paperless check-in procedures

We have implemented innovative technologies that enable guests to complete the check-in process seamlessly and without the need for physical paperwork. Through our user-friendly mobile apps and digital platforms, guests can provide their identification, sign necessary documents, and receive all relevant information electronically. This not only enhances convenience and efficiency but also significantly reduces paper waste, aligning with our commitment to sustainability.

Refillable Glass Bottles

Veriu Group is proud to introduce refillable glass bottles as part of our sustainable initiatives at select hotels. In an effort to reduce single-use plastic waste. By opting for refillable glass bottles, we significantly decrease plastic waste generated by our properties, while still providing a comfortable and convenient experience for our guests. Veriu Group remains committed to implementing environmentally responsible practices that promote sustainability throughout our operations.

Local Sourcing and Community Engagement

We strongly believe in supporting local communities and reducing our carbon footprint associated with transportation. To achieve this, we prioritise sourcing locally produced and sustainable products, including food and beverages, amenities, and furnishings. By partnering with local suppliers, we not only reduce transportation-related emissions but also contribute to the growth and development of the communities in which we operate.

Continuous Improvement

Sustainability is an ongoing journey, and at Veriu Group, we are continuously seeking ways to improve our practices. We regularly monitor and measure our environmental performance, set targets for improvement, and implement innovative solutions. We stay informed about the latest advancements in sustainable technologies and practices to ensure that we remain at the forefront of the industry.

Use of refillable amenities

Veriu Group is excited to announce the implementation of large refillable Mr Smith amenities across select properties. As part of our commitment to sustainability, we have replaced individual single-use toiletry bottles with bulk dispensers filled with high-quality Mr Smith products. These large refillable amenities not only reduce plastic waste but also offer a luxurious and eco-conscious experience for our guests. Mr Smith, a brand known for their premium, environmentally friendly hair and body care products, aligns perfectly with our sustainable values. By using large refillable Mr Smith amenities, Veriu Group is making a positive impact on the environment while providing exceptional guest experiences.

Printing Through Sustainable Suppliers

Veriu Group is dedicated to sourcing from sustainable suppliers, even when it comes to our printing needs. We prioritise working with suppliers who share our commitment to environmental responsibility. By partnering with sustainable printing vendors, we ensure that our promotional materials, brochures, and other printed collateral are produced using eco-friendly practices and materials. These suppliers utilise recycled paper and vegetable-based inks, minimising the environmental impact of the printing process. Veriu Group believes in supporting responsible and sustainable business practices throughout our supply chain, and our choice of sustainable suppliers for printing is just one of the ways we demonstrate our commitment to a greener future.

At Veriu Group, sustainability is not just a buzzword; it is a core value that permeates everything we do.

We are proud of our achievements thus far and remain committed to pushing the boundaries of sustainability in the hospitality sector. By prioritising energy efficiency, water conservation, waste management, local sourcing, education, and continuous improvement, we aim to create a positive and lasting impact on the environment and the communities we serve.

As a young hotel group, we look forward to evolving our sustainability program to contribute to a green future.
