Environmental Vision of Sangat Island Dive Resort
Our Vision is to minimise our carbon footprint and be one of the leading eco-friendly dive resort in the Philippines, whilst providing our guests with an unforgettable holiday experience. We believe true luxury is found in the raw beauty of nature, and we hope to attract guests who share our appreciation for the wild.
Environmental Commitmentt
We take great pride in our environmental conservation efforts, which include the following initiatives:
- Preserving Natural Beauty: We use natural materials for our structures and respect the surrounding environment.
- Experience Eco-Friendly Adventures: We’re delighted to offer our guests a variety of healthy, sustainable activities like kayaking, snorkelling, and stand-up paddle-boarding. For those interested in our commitment to sustainability, we’re happy to arrange a short tour of our solar and desalination facilities, offering a closer look at how we responsibly source our power and water.
- Waste Management: We minimise waste production, support recycling, and reduce plastic use wherever possible.
- Energy Efficiency: Our resort runs on eco-efficient solar energy and prioritizes responsible water and energy consumption.
- Sustainable Sourcing: We choose products that have little to no negative environmental impact.
- Proactive Environmental Solutions: We actively address environmental challenges as they arise.
- Raising Awareness: We engage with stakeholders—guests, suppliers, employees, and the local community—to promote environmentally friendly practices.
- Sustainability Champions: We continuously train and empower our staff to lead by example in sustainability.
- Plastic-Free Commitment: We provide a plastic-free environment by offering drinks in reusable containers, using paper or metal straws, and minimizing single-use plastic.
Eco-Friendly Solar Generation
The resort solar generation plant produces 220kW of power enabling the resort to be fully powered 24hrs/day by solar energy on sunny days. This energy is stored in a 200kW Lithium battery.
Corporate Social Responsibility
Since Sangat Island Dive Resort’s inception in 1994, we have been giving back to the local community. Most of our staff are from local communities adding value to the Calamian economy. Many of which have been given the opportunity to train in the country’s capital.
Together with our guest, our team contributes to various social and environmental projects. We take pride in our local participation, such as our programs with the provincial schools and our involvement with the indigenous community. We are devoted to advocating environmentally sustainable development. This can be seen in the ongoing commitment to minimising our carbon footprint through controlling our consumption of water and energy, waste production, and impact on the local communities.
Sangat Island guarantees that ecotourism will always drive our choices. We work to provide our guest with a positive holiday experience while simultaneously and tirelessly preserving the incredible destination we call home. Nevertheless, Sangat Island Dive Resort has assured plans for further developing its corporate and social responsibility action plan in the future.
