PARTNERSHIP WITH HEALING HIMALAYAS FOUNDATION
We at Larisa have proudly partnered with the Healing Himalayas Foundation as part of our sustainability journey. This partnership helps us to contribute to environmental conservation efforts, focusing on waste management and education in Himalayan regions. Through this collaboration, we aim to extend our impact beyond our property, supporting initiatives that protect and preserve some of the world's most precious ecosystems.
Focus Area
We address the following material areas across our value chain:
Energy Efficiency
Smart technologies and sustainable design are our tools to reduce energy consumption. Where possible, usage of renewable energy sources, ensures that our guests enjoy an eco-friendly luxury experience. Promoting the usage of cycles for shorter distances is one such example of our initiatives to reduce energy consumption.
Carbon Footprint Reduction
Global sustainability goals such as the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change drive our hunger to minimize carbon emissions. For example, The usage of electric vehicles, whenever possible, helps in reducing our carbon emissions.
Electricity & Water Conservation
Water is a precious resource and we are responsible stewards of this vital resource. We believe in starting at the ground level. We implement day to day water-saving solutions encouraging our guests to be a part of our initiative. We place a message in each room encouraging guests to reuse bed sheets and towels to reduce water consumption. This initiative works two fold for us: saves significant amounts of water and also reduces energy usage in laundering processes.
Waste Management
From eliminating single-use plastics to carefully managing food waste, we aim to ensure that waste is responsibly handled, stored, and disposed of.
Paperless Operations
