SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES
At Tamara Leisure Experiences, we walk our talk. In addition to assessing impact, planning implementation, and setting up properties in a way that minimises interference with natural and endemic environments, it is important to constantly assess and monitor quantitative results and ensure that we are always taking positive steps forward.
Informed by the United Nations’ global standards, we address key Sustainable Development Goals in the design and nurturing of responsible practices.
Zero Poverty
Zero Hunger
Good Health and Well Being
Quality Education
Gender Equality
Clean Water and Sanitation
Affordable and Clean Energy
Responsible Production and Consumption
Zero Poverty
When a TLE property is set up, we make sure that a significant portion of hiring comes out of local communities. This helps us maintain a strong relationship with the region and promote employment for those who may need it.
Action Points:
- 50% of TLE property employees come from local communities.
- 87% of our employees are directly on company rolls.
Zero Hunger
TLE properties keep a close check on the generation of food waste. Concerted efforts are made to reduce waste generation, and the unavoidable organic waste is both used and donated as compost.
Action Points:
- Generated and Donated Compost: ~14,820 kg and counting.
- Regular measurement, monitoring, and analysis of food waste generation to identify gaps and design methods to reduce wastage.
Good Health and Well Being
We do our best to ensure that the health and well-being of those associated with TLE – staff and guests – are taken care of.
Action Points:
- Use of organic and pesticide-free products wherever possible.
- 80% of products in all minibars are organic.
- Health insurance for all employees and their immediate families.
Quality Education
The founders of TLE are deeply committed to investing in the future. Through both philanthropic and direct engagement with educational and vocational training, a contribution to meaningful, quality education is being sustained.
Action Points:
- Annual sponsoring of education for children from the local community.
- Supporting sports events at local schools.
Gender Equality
As we strive to be an organisation that treats its people with fairness and equality, special efforts are made to ensure that there is absolutely no discrimination on the basis of gender.
Action Points:
- Efforts to achieve equal male-female ratio among employees.
- Policies to ensure women’s safety.
- Compensation based on performance rather than gender.
Clean Water and Sanitation
Water is an aspect of sustainability that has received concerted assessment, building of infrastructure, and close monitoring at all TLE properties to ensure, self-sustained cleaning, management, and reduction of waste.
Action Points:
- Rainwater harvesting infrastructure has been set up (90 L and 35 L capacity) in 2 properties.
- 100% of water is managed and reused at in-house STP & ETP facilities.
- At The Tamara Coorg: ~40 acres of land is kept as untouched forest to maintain the water table and surrounding ecosystem.
- At The Tamara Kodai: 1.5 acres of land is maintained as Open Reserved Space for plants, trees, and organic farming.
Affordable and Clean Energy
Responsible consumption of clean energy is a concerted and constant effort at all TLE properties.
Action Points:
- LED and energy-efficient heat pumps to reduce energy consumption.
- Investment in solar and wood-fired water heating systems
Responsible Production and Consumption
In an industry where production and consumption are an everyday affair, TLE properties remain mindful of monitoring waste generation and management on a regular basis.
Action Points:
- 100% of dry waste is delivered to Pollution Control Board Approved recycling centres.
- Several measures to minimise plastic use and make TLE properties plastic-free zones.
