Sudima Hotels

Sudima Hotels aims to deliver accessible and environmentally friendly hotels in New Zealand. They strive to be industry leaders in social and environmental responsibility.

Sudima Hotels are committed to eliminating and reducing plastic from their operations. They have already started this by rethinking what they offer and how they operate and have transitioned all their hotels away from small single use amenities in the bathrooms. They have also progress in eliminating small plastic containers in food services and use only compostable or reusable packaging for takeaway containers. Lastly, they are working towards eliminating plastic from their supply chains.
