Attitude has always placed Mauritius and Mauritians at the heart of everything. In 2019, they became the first service company in Mauritius to be awarded the ‘Made in Moris’ accolade.
Prioritise ‘local’
Attitude mainly sources its products from Mauritian producers, as they know that it directly benefits the local economy. One example is the Mayaven family, a farming couple who provide two Attitude hotels with hydroponic vegetables using sustainable agricultural methods. This collaboration illustrates a wish to support entrepreneurship and to put the principles of circular economy into practice. Over time, their business has grown, creating new jobs and new sustainable practices.
Support Mauritian young companies
In 2019, Attitude created their own investment company, Otentik Investments Ltd, to strengthen their contribution to local economy. Otentik helps promising Mauritian companies to thrive if they align with Attitude’s criteria, which encompasses eco-responsibility and the creation of long-term jobs. After a period of financial and logistical support, Otentik Investments Ltd recoups its initial investment and uses that recoup to finance two or three new local entrepreneurs a year. One of the first fledgling companies to benefit was Kokodezil, a local and 100% natural cosmetics brand now thriving on its own terms.
Promote craftmanship
The work of local artists is used to decorate Attitude hotels. Despite competitive pricing from the likes of China and Bali, when it comes to furniture, Attitude chooses to use Mauritian carpentry. At Lagoon Attitude, 75% of the furniture is made in Mauritius. Attitude has also created Otentik Bazar, a pop-up market that gives local designers the chance to sell their products at each hotel. Products include baskets, jams, jewellery and handbags made from recycled sails. Attitude takes no commission from the sale of any goods – 95% of the profit is paid directly to the maker and 5% goes to financing environmental actions via the Green Attitude Foundation.
As a hotelier, and an economic player that benefits from it, Attitude believes that they need to actively participate in environmental preservation.
For example, human activity inevitably has an impact on underwater life, so Attitude created the Marine Discovery Centre. Situated at Lagoon Attitude hotel, the Marine Discovery Centre aims to unite and inform visitors so that they may take action to improve their sustainability. The two scientists here train and educate everyone they can in the area, from the fishermen and local population to the guests that stay with us. They help everyone to understand and preserve the natural environment.
Actions over the past 10 years
- Educated over 20,000 visitors, including school children, local village residents, guests, local and foreign business partners and staff about the environment and raising awareness for its protection.
- Created a fun and educational underwater trail that crosses a protected area which allows guests to discover the beauty of the seabed without damaging it. The trail educates them about the fragility of this eco-system. Furthermore, the installation of beacons clearly show the areas accessible to swimmers, avoiding the corals which are very vulnerable to damage, even from the lightest touch.
- A charter also regulates access to this area and involves the coastal communities that depend on the sea. The installation and maintenance of mooring buoys ensures boats no longer anchor in the area.
Attitude will remove all single-use plastics in the customer experience by 1 November 2020. Each year, up to 3,600,000 plastic objects will be saved from landfills thanks to various initiatives such as water bottling, bulk shop or use of flasks. This action reinforces a 2017 commitment when Attitude were labelled Travelife gold.
Sunrise Attitude is an adults-only hotel.
