Sustainability

What is Sustainability for STORY Hospitality?

To promote an environmentally conscious focus within our hotels and among our team members.

Our mission

Continually look for ways to preserve and protect natural resources by reducing waste and energy, while providing experiences and service to our guests.

Continuous communication with our guests and creating awareness of our efforts while encouraging them to join us in the simplest practices to reach our goal of becoming the best sustainable & eco-friendly resort in Seychelles.

 

Our 5 Pillars in Sustainability

Our Responsibilities , Our Commitment. It is impossible to think about nature, wildlife, and an Eco-friendly life separately. These elements are all intertwined, like a group of Hawksbill Sea Turtles swimming through a marine current. If you improve something in our local environment to make it more nature friendly, it will be projected to the rest of the world.
