REDUCING ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

WATER MANAGEMENT

Elite Hotel By MK , we care about water, which is our most important natural resource, and take the necessary savings control measures. We make our daily, monthly and annual water consumption analyzes via OPEN (Global Energy Consumption Monitoring Platform). We can track our analysis by total and number of guests. While per capita consumption in 2022 is 117 liters, we aim to reduce the average per capita consumption by 102 liters by reducing it by 7% in 2023.

In order to save energy and water, we inform our guests with digital catalogs and cards in our rooms, emphasizing the water and energy that will be consumed if the sheets and towels are changed every day.

Faucets used in rooms and public areas have AERATOR devices that filter the water and mix it with air, giving a more pressurized feeling with less water. We have systems to reduce water consumption in general areas, guest rooms and staff rooms. We raise awareness of our staff monthly through training on savings issues.

ELECTRICAL MANAGEMENT

An automatic energy shut-off system is used in the rooms. Electricity consumption is close to zero when the rooms are empty. It reduces consumption to a minimum thanks to photocell lights and LED lighting in public areas. Building exterior lighting is saved with timer fuses. All electrical and electronic products A++ class LED TV Smartphones and mini bars are used.

NATURAL GAS USE

Our hotel uses natural gas, which is the least harmful and most economical fuel among fossil fuels. Natural gas is our choice because it is clean and environmentally friendly. It does not cause acid rain since it does not contain ash and sulfur components when burned. Since it is in gaseous state, it creates a better mixture with air and burns easily, requiring less oxygen than LPG .

We take care to use the most energy-saving systems in our hotel. Systems that embrace savings along with quality are our priority. Energy consumption in our building is monitored daily, weekly and monthly.

WASTE MANAGEMENT

In our hotel's zero waste area, waste is classified according to legal regulations and stored in different sections. Waste is taken to the zero waste room every day by the relevant personnel and thrown into reserved sections. Solid and recyclable wastes are delivered to the relevant waste company or official institutions on the specified day and time..

PERSONNEL AND WORKING LIFE

Elite Otel By Mk our core values at the heart of our code of conduct are our common language and guide us every day. Our tolerant approach, which is the symbol of our identity and culture, is evident from our respect for the environment and all living things in the world.

We aim to keep our staff constant in 2022 and the following years, to instill this awareness in our new teammates and to work with personnel who have this idea. A total of 1 staff has been trained on subjects such as brand training, foreign language training, occupational health training, hygiene and cleaning training. We aim to keep our staff fit and improve their development in line with needs with the same training in 2023.

MOTIVATIONAL ACTIVITIES

This year, as in 2022, we took part in social responsibility projects that increased the motivation of our employees and had fun together while celebrating special days. None of us forget that we are a family and our guests spend their holidays having fun with us during their stay at the hotel.
