The Burj Al Arab has attained the Green Globe Certification (GGC) following a comprehensive sustainability audit. This was conducted by Farnek consultancy. The hotel showcases 202 duplex suites with personal butler service, chauffeur-driven Rolls Royce and helicopter airport transfers.

Heinrich Morio, general manager at Burj Al Arab said: “The certificate is a testament to Burj Al Arab’s practice in ensuring that green policies are at the heart of our business and that they are an essential part of our long-term business strategy”.

The hotel’s environmental efforts were also praised. Its Dubai Turtle Rehabilitation Project – launched in 2004 in close collaboration between Dubai Wildlife Protection Office, Jumeirah Group, Central Veterinary Research Laboratory and a team of specialised veterinarians – has helped to return hundreds of sea turtles back into the wild, with many fitted with satellite tags to allow marine biologists further insight into their migratory patterns.
