Phuket, Thailand, December 18, 2024 – Four Points by Sheraton Phuket Patong Beach Resort, which is nestled just steps from the sea on Phuket’s sunset coast, is helping meeting planners to “Connect Responsibly” in Southern Thailand with an innovative new program that will maximize the business results of each event while minimizing its impact on the planet.
Launched by Marriott Bonvoy Events™, Connect Responsibly is a global program that embeds environmental stewardship into every corporate gathering. Inspired by Marriott’s Sustainability and Social Impact Platform, “Serve 360: Doing Good in Every Direction”, this progressive new program will let companies stage extraordinary events that align their business goals with their sustainability policies.
To achieve this, meeting planners at Four Points by Sheraton Phuket Patong Beach Resort will be provided with tools to measure their event’s carbon emissions – and then mitigate them by contributing to carbon offsetting projects. These projects can be selected by the company to align with their guiding principles and philosophies. At the end of each event, the client will be presented with a comprehensive report and a certificate to demonstrate their sustainability.
