SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS
Embracing a better trip
for everyone
At A Good Day, we actively contribute to almost every Global Goal in order to bring better light to the world — through how we host, build and serve.
SUSTAINABLE
DEVELOPMENT GOALS · SDGs
Seventeen goals, one shared horizon
In 2015, the United Nations launched a set of sustainability goals focusing on 17 key areas that will help end poverty, promote clean energy, improve health, achieve gender equality and tackle climate change.
193 countries have agreed to contribute to the achievement of those goals by 2030. For companies, they are also a business opportunity — a path to innovation, operational improvement and lasting positive impact on the societies and environments we share.

WHERE WE FOCUS
Five goals at the centre of our work
HOW WE WORK TO ACHIEVE SDGs
Three programmes in motion
With expertise in hospitality and fin-tech, we have a deep knowledge and a strong platform for making decisive advances toward the SDGs. Here is how we work today.
Promote a greener stay — cutting environmental footprints
A Good Day guests who stay two nights or longer can defer their housekeeping, reducing the energy and water associated with linen cleaning. We also select sustainably sourced meat, poultry, produce, seafood and cotton across our managed hotels.
- Review towel and bed-linen suppliers against sustainability attributes.
- Reduce food waste sent to landfill in our managed operations.
- Send zero soap to landfill by recycling all used guest soap bars.
IMPACT
Our hotels operate more efficiently — reducing energy and water use, and the chemicals required for housekeeping.
Control home energy — lower the cost of light
By connecting smart-home devices into our all-in-one A Good Day Guest mobile app, we make homes more energy efficient and affordable through circuit-level electricity monitoring, smart alerts and remote energy controls.
- Guest self-control mobile app.
- IoT device integration across in-room systems.
- Load-balancing technology to prevent peak waste.
IMPACT
Operational cost falls in line with electricity consumption — with no need to replace batteries every few months in legacy remote controllers.
Make cities more convenient and sustainable
We have been active in leading the Fintech revolution — using blockchain and IoT — and continue to develop groundbreaking technologies today. Across our products, we are creating more efficient, compact and secure financial networks that benefit customers and partners alike.
- Accelerate the adoption of IoT devices, mobile technology and blockchain across South-East Asia.
- Deliver cost-effective digital infrastructure to enterprises.
- Reduce duplicated systems and the resources they consume.
IMPACT
More compact, efficient cities — with services that scale without scaling their environmental footprint.
OUR PASSION FOR SUSTAINABILITY
Sustainable development is core to everything we do. We are ambitious for sustainable revenues, sustainable operations — and a better trip, for everyone.
