Oryx Rotana celebrates Earth Day

Oryx Rotana, one of Doha’s leading five-star luxury business hotels, launched an environmentally friendly competition in celebration of Earth Day, a worldwide event held every 22nd of April to demonstrate support for environmental protection.

The competition engaged staff from nine different departments to create art pieces from recyclable items in a move that reflects the hotel's overall interest in maintaining ecological sustainability. To coincide with Earth Day, the artwork created from recyclable materials was showcased and exhibited at the hotel’s lobby on the 22 April 2019. The selection of the best artwork involved all in-house guests and visitors by asking them to be the juries for this competition. The winning team was rewarded with a financial prize of QAR 1000 in recognition for adopting sustainable solutions and help save the earth.

On this occasion, Mr. Ghassan Dalal, General Manager of Oryx Rotana said”: Celebrating Earth Day reflects our ongoing commitment towards the environment, which is part of our brand’s sustainability goal. Through this initiative we seek to involve all our colleagues to raise awareness on the importance of preserving the earth and be part of a bigger commitment which we stand by”. “We adopt a good number of environmental pledges and ingenuities which stems from our belief that protecting and preserving mother earth is the responsibility of all. We constantly strive to deliver the highest level of services to our clients and at the same time adhere to the best standard of sustainability that we have always practiced in all our work processes at our hotel” Mr. Dalal added.
