Energy Efficiency Our energy mix is progressively shifting towards renewable sources such as photovoltaic systems. Constance Ephelia, Seychelles, is already equipped with a Water Bottling Plant, and Constance Tsarabanjina, Madagascar, is now equipped with a 30 kW solar power plant, supported by two generators for improved efficiency. Our properties are nearly fully equipped with LED lighting, while daily energy monitoring through the SCADA system provides each department with the necessary tools and information to manage energy consumption effectively and identify opportunities to further reduce their carbon footprint.

Partnership on Sea Turtle Conservation – Olive Ridley Project

Similarly to the methods used for manta rays and whale sharks, a photo identification project is currently underway to estimate the population size of sea turtles in the areas surrounding Moofushi. Specifically, identification images of the head of each individual (both right and left sides) are regularly captured and shared with the ORP team for identification purposes. Alongside these images, various environmental data are also collected.

3.4 Water Management

With global warming, sources of freshwater are being depleted faster than they can be recharged through natural processes. Water conservation is therefore becoming essential and, as a responsible company, our efforts to reduce water consumption over recent years have contributed to achieving optimal cost savings. With Constance Lemuria, Seychelles, supplied by its own natural water source, and Constance Ephelia, Seychelles, along with our resorts in the Maldives, equipped with desalination plants, monthly water usage and costs continue to be monitored and benchmarked with the aim of: – Continuously identifying opportunities to reduce water consumption – Reducing water losses through regular leak detection – Installing sensors, regulators and other water-saving devices – Ensuring the efficient use of laundry equipment – Raising awareness among employees and guests on the responsible use of water; – Offering guests the option to reuse towels and linen – Limiting freshwater use by capturing and utilising rainwater where possible and Reusing treated greywater for irrigation – Setting targets to minimise water consumption and regularly monitoring and analysing performance – Assessing the feasibility of seawater desalination where appropriate Water Efficiency Our hotels are equipped with water bottling plants to reduce the number of PET bottles used within our resorts, with approximately half of these facilities connected to desalination plants with ultraviolet treatment.

Electricity The implementation of the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system, initiated in 2011 and connected to meteorological stations, has enabled real-time monitoring of electricity consumption and optimisation of associated costs. Today, each property is equipped with the system, which has been further expanded to include reporting on temperature and door openings in cold rooms, contributing directly to energy savings as well as improvements in health and safety.

Diesel In the Maldives and Seychelles, diesel consumption is directly linked to electricity production, as these resorts rely on primary power generators. As a result, savings in electricity consumption lead to corresponding reductions in diesel usage. Diesel is also used for water heating at Constance Lemuria, Seychelles, and Constance Prince Maurice, where the heat recovery system has been redesigned to improve efficiency, resulting in a reduction in average consumption over recent years.

Rainwater harvesting systems are used to irrigate our Chefs’ gardens, while grey and black water is channelled to sewage treatment plants, where it is recycled for irrigation purposes.

Guests are encouraged to use towels and linen responsibly, while swimming pools are backwashed regularly throughout the day.

3.4 Energy Management

The practices established since 2011 as part of our Energy Management strategy have been maintained to support reductions in environmental impact while lowering energy costs. To minimise energy consumption, we aim to:

Gas Measures have been implemented to manage gas consumption, although a formal optimisation strategy has yet to be developed due to the lack of appropriate instrumentation. These measures include: – Ensuring the integrity of the distribution network – Ensuring gas banks are properly sized to match evaporation rate demand – Conducting awareness campaigns to encourage team members to minimise usage – Ensuring burners are properly calibrated

– Improve workplace energy efficiency – Reduce reliance on fossil fuels and transition to renewable energy sources – Maintain machinery and equipment in good working condition – Adopt energy-efficient equipment and low-energy appliances – Ensure optimal use of plant and machinery – Use timers, sensors and other devices to regulate energy consumption – Reduce energy loss, for example by using insulated pipes to carry hot or chilled fluids – Set objectives to limit consumption, regularly monitor progress and improve processes
