ENVIRONMENTAL CAUSES

#SAVEENERGY, WASTE LESS, RE-USE MORE

ENVIRONMENTAL ACCREDITATIONS

We are also a proud member of the Sustainable Hospitality Alliance
Rove Expo 2020 is a LEED Gold-certified building
We are the first hotel group to pass Dubai Tourism's sustainability requirements
All our hotels are Green Key certified amongst only 4,000 hotels worldwide

Sustainability is such a key part of our operations, and we love it when Rovers join in our efforts. Here are the five key sustainability pillars we work towards:

PLASTIC REDUCTION

No plastic bottles in our hotels
  1. We have replaced plastic bottles with glass ones across our guest rooms
  2. We’re happy to fill up re-usable bottles with complimentary filtered water whenever a Rover brings a re-usable bottle to The Daily or a meeting area!
  3. No more plastic key cards – ours are made out of bamboo!
  4. The in-room re-fillable amenities that Rovers love are packaged in dispensers made of recycled plastic 5. Each of our Rovesters is armed with a re-usable water bottle!

WASTE REDUCTION

  1. We’ve reduced our team’s paper consumption by over 90% by re defining our processes and implementing digital solutions.
  2. Rovers can help save trees, too! We request them to accept e-mailed invoices & check-in digitally.
  3. Our key card jackets are made out of 100% recycled paper, with key information tied digitally to a QR code, further cutting down on paper waste. This helps us save over 1 million sheets of paper a year.
  4. We’re always thinking of ways to be more sustainable. All our menus have been optimised to minimise food waste, with a thoughtful emphasis on family sharing and other similar initiatives.

WATER SAVING

WE USE AC CONDENSATE DRAIN WATERFOR ALL IRRIGATION
  1. Our properties feature saltwater pools instead of chlorine to prevent unnecessary chemicals from going into our water.
  2. We have incorporated consumption limiters into all water taps, shower heads, and toilet flushes across our properties to reduce flow and avoid unnecessary waste of water. Similarly, all urinals and hand wash taps in public areas feature water sensors.
  3. We use highly eco-friendly dishwashers that use only 3 litres per wash cycle.

ENERGY SAVING

All of our hotels are equipped with LED lights, using 75% less energy than traditional bulbs
  1. All of our hotels have solar power forwater heating.
  2. In order to save energy consumption, we’ve implemented a Guest Room Management System to automatically turn off lights and adjust the temperature when rooms are not occupied.
  3. We adapt our schedules and temperaturesfor air conditioning according to the season. Similarly, external hotel lights operate on a timed schedule, saving energy during daylight hours.

SUSTAINABLE LIFESTYLE

Our Rovesters proudly wear uniforms made of recycled plastic. Each shirt takes 3 bottles from a landfill
  1. We offer Tesla superchargers in all of our hotels, making it easy for those driving electric cars.
  2. In favour of sustainability, all of our hotels have vegan menus.
  3. We work with local suppliers, where possible,to cut down on greenhouse gas emissions.

SOCIAL CAUSES

#EQUALITY THROUGH EMPOWERMENT, INCLUSIVE OF ALL

DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION

We target a 50-50 gender balance in leadership positions
  1. Our Rovesters come in all shapes, sizes, ethnicities, and nationalities (over 50!). Also, we are proud to employ several People of Determination across our hotels. They are true Rovesters, passionate about what they do and have our full support to learn and evolve, enjoying the same opportunities as the rest of our team. At Rove, regardless of who you are or where you come from, everybody can be themselves. All we need are people with a great attitude who are as passionate about hospitality as we are.
  2. All our hotels have accessible rooms and facilities for People of Determination

COMMUNITY

Community has always been a part of our brand's DNA, with strong ties established with the local art, entrepreneurial and creative communities, as well as city residents
  1. Launching the #RoveWithNikon Studio and the Rove Podcast Studio, at very affordable rates, with the aim of making professional equipment easily accessible to the general public.
  2. Working with local artists to provide all our hotels with awesome art pieces inspired by the neighbourhood that surrounds them. We also promote up-and-coming local artists via our Emerging Artist Prize in collaboration with World Art Dubai.
  3. In support of the UAE’s vision to be one of the happiest countries in the world, we celebrate the UN’s International Day of Happiness as a community initiative. Since 2017, we have done yearly activations with the aim to bring some joy to residents, and we’ve also appointed a Chief Happiness Officer to oversee the events and organise team engagement activities throughout the year. During this time, we’ve had the opportunity to partner with the UAE’s Ministry of Happiness, Dubai Police as well as well-known personalities like DJ Bliss, content creator Saif Shawaf and comedian Ali Al Sayed among others.

LET'S CREATE A CLEANER COMMUNITY AROUND US, ONE INITIATIVE AT A TIME!
