Energy and water
One of our primary sustainability goals is to ensure affordable and clean energy. Located in a sunny destination, the climate allows us to use the bright sun as an energy source. We have installed solar panels throughout the resort to provide hot water for restaurants, both for service and for kitchen operation. In addition, to reduce the loss of cooled air and make the environment greener, plants have been planted on the roofs of all accommodation at Mandarin Oriental, Bodrum.
Mandarin Oriental, Bodrum, and The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Bodrum utilize wastewater via a biological treatment system that treats 650 tons of water. The system takes the wastewater from all facilities within the property and transitions it to irrigation quality; all water used for irrigation at the resort and residences is provided from the water tanks of this system, which dramatically reduces the use of natural resources. The resort also utilizes a process of Reverse Osmosis to provide 2,800 tons of clean water daily which is then used to service the guest rooms, public areas, residential apartments and villas, the gardens and all of the resort’s pools.
