An Energy Management Committee at the property oversees an energy savings plan to reduce power consumption. Madinah Mövenpick Hotel uses the Hotel Optimiser management system, designed by Green Globe’s preferred Middle East Partner, FARNEK, to record and monitor all activities in energy and water consumption.

Madinah Mövenpick Hotel’s environmental policy and its objectives are communicated to HODs in Green Team Meetings and to all staff via the in-house TV channel with planned goals set for individual departments. Energy saving actions are initially introduced to staff members during their first Orientation sessions.

The hotel offers various experiential tourism programs that allow visitors access to local cultural experiences.
