Royal Phuket Marina now certified as Asia’s First & Only Carbon Neutral Mixed-Use Development

PHUKET, Thailand – In a landmark environmental achievement, Royal Phuket Marina (RPM) proudly announces becoming Phuket’s First & Only Carbon-Neutral Mixed-use development. It has achieved this milestone by substantial emission reductions and further carbon offsetting.

This significant accomplishment reflects RPM’s unwavering commitment to sustainability and is in line with global environmental objectives, mirroring Thailand’s goal to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 and net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2065. RPM remains dedicated to leading in sustainability, continuously striving to maintain its position at the forefront of this important initiative.

Earlier this year, the Thai government’s Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization (TGO) certified RPM with its prestigious Carbon Footprint for Organization (CFO) certification. RPM is Thailand’s Only Marina and Phuket’s Only Hospitality and Real Estate Developer to have received such certification.

RPM remains a frontrunner in sustainable marina operations and set a new benchmark this year by reducing its carbon footprint to 640 metric tons of carbon dioxide and subsequently neutralizing this output. RPM, on the path to carbon neutrality, notably switched to solar energy since 2016 by investing heavily in solar panels, now generating up to 40% of daily energy requirements. The company received a Letter of Recognition for solar initiatives under the Low Emission Support Scheme. Additionally, in partnership with boating affiliates, RPM aims to eliminate single-use plastic bottles on excursions, targeting a reduction of approximately 4 million plastic bottles annually.
