Sustainability:

Sani Resort, first certified carbon neutral resort in Greece since 2020 and awarded as World’s Leading Luxury Green Resort by World Travel Awards 2022, is set in a majestic 1,000-acre ecological reserve, with 7km of Blue-flagged sandy beaches, over 20km of forest trails and 270-acres of wetlands to explore, encouraging guests to reconnect with nature within a sustainable mini self-contained world. With sustainability at heart, “Sani Green” is Sani’s programme focused on improving its sustainability performance, from energy efficiency and use of renewable energy sources to water conservation and sustainable procurement. Each Sani Green initiative is supported by well-defined policies and measurable targets, in line with UN Sustainable Development Goals. The resort is powered by 100% renewable electricity (guarantees of origin). During 2022 Sani recycled 348tn of materials, composted 100% of the green waste produced and eliminated all plastics used in front of houses including single used amenities, plastic bottles and all the ones listed in the EU list. A triple Zero Goal is set- net zero by 2030 and zero plastic and zero waste by 2024. Sani is greatly increasing the renewable local energy capacity, while cutting down on carbon emissions. In 2022 Sani applied extensive submetering across the resort to monitor and manage energy consumption real-time. Over 60% of Sani’s produce comes from within 100mi of the resort, with in-resort botanical gardens supporting the farm-to-table restaurants’ approach. Sani’s food and wine range, Land of Grace, produced by local artisans, is available-all profits donated to local food banks for vulnerable communities. Guests immerse in nature through guided complimentary eco-activities: Sani Wetlands, Birdwatching, Forest Walk, Bee Spot and Olive Trip. Home to 225 bird species (total 456 found in Greece), the birdwatching tours in Sani Wetlands have seen a 156% increase in participation since 2021. Since 2019, over 8,919 guests took part in a Sani eco-excursion. More than 19,922 guests have participated in the Eco Trips since 2013 with 3,736 participants only in 2022. Specially designed eco-activities for kids are offered at the kids and teens clubs. In 2022 Sani launched the largest Bee Spot in Greece in partnership with non-profit Bee Camp to strengthen the pollinators and host educational activities. Sani collaborates with ISea to monitor the resident dolphin population and create the first catalogue of cetaceans in Halkidiki. In collaboration with Forest Research Institute Sani launched the ECOCARBON and ECOSERVICES for the assessment of the carbon footprint of the Sani Forest Eco system and its protection. Sani supports various biodiversity projects, the Sani Wetlands Project and tree-planting, as well as over 40 organisations (schools, hospitals, refugee shelters) and provides scholarships to encourage local farmers to farm more sustainably. Sani outfitted a local paediatric trauma unit, with over 27,200 kids benefiting since 2017. Guests enjoy outdoor activities in nature: biking in the forest, yoga and meditation on the beach, sparta gym, hiking and world class academies. Sani offers electric club cars, electric car charging stations, Sani Solar Tree, plug-in and hybrid cars and AI technology to reduce food waste.
