Social Sustainability (SS) is a proactive way of managing and identifying business impacts on employees, workers in the value chain, customers, and local communities. The Lofts Collection understands the human cost and environmental cost to doing business, and therefore endeavors to integrate social sustainability as a vital business strategy.
Giving Back To Our Community
The Lofts Collection facilitates bi-annual donations to local and national good- will organizations and NGOs, committed to serving those that are less fortunate. The Lofts Collection in collaboration with one if its clients have donated food items, baby formula, nappies and medicines to the locally established Ebenezer Soup Kitchen. The Soup Kitchen is a fully registered feeding program that feeds 300 children weekly; in the Havanna informal settlement, Katutura, Windhoek.
We aim to establish a program named #TheLofts_StayinSchool to assist two scholars per year by contributing to their school fees, uniform and stationery. The Lofts Collection aims to make a difference in our community, one stay at a time.
Our Commitment
The Lofts Collection endeavors to:
> Care for our employees and foster an environment that cultivates growth according to ethical work standards.
> Assess resource usage and encourage energy efficiency. The Lofts Collection utilizes LED lights and utilizes energy efficient washers and dryers.
> Conserve and recycle water where possible. As part of our Water conservation Policy, we change our bed linen every third night for stays longer than 2 nights, unlessrequested by the guest. This allows the company to reduce our carbon footprint. We read our water meter on a weekly basis as per the City of Windhoek’s guidelines, to ensure we detect leaks on time.
> To say no to single-use dispensers and instead utilize refillable dispensers.
> Ensure our procurement is sustainable by buying environmentally friendly products.
> Engage with our communities and give back to those that are less fortunate.
