At Shangri-La Yanuca Island, Fiji, STAY reflects our commitment to responsible resort operations and reducing our environmental footprint.
Through digital bookings and check-ins, energy and water conservation, sustainable materials and responsible waste management, we strive to use resources more thoughtfully while caring for the island we call home.
Energy and Carbon
Reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions is an ongoing priority. We monitor electricity usage and invest in efficient systems to improve performance and minimise our environmental impact.
Initiatives include energy-efficient chillers and hot water boilers, building services improvements and 14 electric resort buggies that reduce reliance on conventional fuel-powered vehicles.
In 2025, electricity consumption decreased by approximately 516,267 kWh (6.7%) compared with 2024. During the first nine months of 2026, consumption was approximately 769,136 kWh (14.2%) lower than the same period in 2025.
We continue to explore further energy efficiency improvements and opportunities to incorporate renewable energy.
Water Stewardship
We are committed to using fresh water responsibly throughout the resort.
Water-saving measures include dual-flush toilets, flow-regulating aerators, a linen reuse programme and improvements to water treatment and boiler efficiency. We also recover and reuse condensate from our hot water systems.
Water consumption is regularly monitored to identify opportunities for reduction while maintaining guest comfort, hygiene and operational standards.
Responsible Waste Management
We work to reduce waste, recover reusable materials and manage unavoidable waste responsibly.
Food waste is collected for animal feed, while green waste is composted or reused where practical. Used cooking oil is collected for recycling, and general waste is managed by an approved contractor.
Treated wastewater is reused for landscaping across the resort and golf course, reducing demand for fresh water. We also maintain procedures for the safe handling and storage of chemicals and used machinery oils.
