Fighting Food Waste, Nurturing Local Agriculture
Hilton Bahrain has announced the extension of its partnership with Peninsula Farms to further reduce food waste and support the local agricultural sector. The initiative is a part of the property’s Green Ramadan initiative, in collaboration with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and Winnow, aimed at minimising food wastage during the Holy Month of Ramadan.
As a dedicated supporter of Hilton’s Travel with Purpose, Hilton Bahrain recognises the importance of addressing food waste and its environmental impact. By partnering with Peninsula Farms, a local company dedicated to advancing Bahrain’s agricultural sector and promoting self-sustainability in local fresh produce, Hilton Bahrain aims to contribute to the nation’s goals while making a positive impact on the community.
Through this extended partnership, Hilton Bahrain will donate its inedible food waste to Peninsula Farms, which will then convert it into compost. This donation not only helps to minimise food waste and carbon emission but also supports the development of sustainable agricultural practices in Bahrain. By diverting food waste from landfills and transforming it into valuable compost, Hilton Bahrain and Peninsula Farms are actively contributing to the circular economy and promoting a more sustainable future.
Tamer Farouk, General Manager of Hilton Bahrain, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, saying: “We are proud to extend our collaboration with Peninsula Farms as part of our ongoing commitment to sustainability. By redirecting our food waste to composting, we are taking proactive steps to reduce our environmental footprint and support the local agricultural sector.
Hilton Bahrain’s partnership with Peninsula Farms aligns with the company’s broader sustainability goals and its dedication to corporate social responsibility. By actively participating in initiatives that tackle food waste and promote sustainable practices, Hilton Bahrain continues to set an example for the hospitality industry and inspire positive change within the community.
