The certification covers a broad range of sectors, including hotels, resorts, conference centers, attractions, cruise ships, and more. Achieving Green Globe Certification signifies that a business meets the highest standards of sustainability, ensuring both security and desirability in tourism.
MGallery The Retreat Palm Dubai has implemented a wide array of initiatives to earn this prestigious certification. These include water conservation measures such as installing low-flow fixtures in guest rooms and public areas, integrating hand wash basin aerators, and introducing knee-controlled hand wash systems in kitchen areas. The hotel has also optimized its swimming pool management to further reduce water consumption.
In terms of energy efficiency, the hotel has transitioned to LED lighting throughout the property, installed motion sensors to reduce unnecessary energy use, and introduced a guest room energy management system that automatically adjusts air conditioning and lighting.

The Building Management System (BMS) at MGallery The Retreat Palm Dubai efficiently controls HVAC and electrical equipment, optimizing energy use. The hotel also practices sustainable landscaping by reusing condensate water from air conditioning units for irrigation, using a timer-based system that adjusts to seasonal changes.
Further demonstrating its commitment to sustainability, the hotel has adopted a digital food waste management system to monitor and minimize food waste.
