AHATA honors Earth Day by inspiring its members to commit to sustainable practices
ORANJESTAD, April 22 2021 – To commemorate Earth Day AHATA is distributing an Environmental Best Practices guide to its 123 member companies, with the goal to motivate more companies to commit to some basic sustainability practices.
As a Small Island Developing State, Aruba is highly susceptible to rising sea levels caused by the phenomenon known as Global Warming. In recognition of this year’s Earth Day, AHATA’s Environmental Committee has composed a Best Practices Guide. The document emphasizes the importance of integrating basic practices for environmental protection and a sustainable community. The guide offers several basic recommendations on energy conservation, reduction of water consumption, waste management, community involvement and respect for nature, which can be introduced by any size company.
The AHATA Environmental Committee was created by Aruba’s sustainability pioneer, Ewald Biemans, approximately twenty years ago. The committee consists of volunteers from member companies, public sector, and foundations. Their mission is to build as much interest as possible in the 3 R’s: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle, in the business sector, government, and the public in general. A special thanks to the committee president Vanessa Rasmussen and Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort’s Sustainability Manager, Nathaly Stanley, for spearheading the production of this Best Practices guide.
AHATA hopes members take the initiative to become environmental stewards in the community and at the very least commit to basic standards to collectively combat the imminent threat of climate change.
