Coffee Day Hotels & Resorts addresses and monitors all potential pollution (noise, water, air), traffic congestion, community impacts and fire safety aspects, and incorporates appropriate processes and checks into its site selection, facility design and operations systems. We are in the process of implementing a companywide certifiable hygiene and food safety management system based on HACCP standards, within a time frame to be decided and agreed on with the IFC.

Location

The Serai Chikmagalur stands on a piece of barren land within the plantation, surrounded by, yet not impinging on, the fertile area of the estate.

Employment

To encourage local talent, increase local employment opportunities and improve the local economy, the residents of the rural areas adjoining our resort are trained and employed in various capacities on our estates, factories and resorts. Destitute women and the physically challenged of the rural areas also contribute by making and manufacturing fixtures in our resort.

Usage of local material

True to Coffee Day’s values, waste wood from the plantations have been, and will be, extensively used for the interiors and furniture. Also building material indigenous to the area have been used.

Water recycling

Waste water from our resorts is filtered and recycled to irrigate vegetation in and around each resort.

Rain water harvesting

The Serai Chikmagalur has rain water harvesting systems in place to provide supplemental water for their requirements, to increase soil moisture levels, and improve ground water table levels.
