As a socially responsible business, Banyan Tree was founded with the core value of driving sustainable development. A global hospitality group operating in diverse locations, Banyan Tree’s concept of sustainability seeks to create long term value for multiple stakeholders and destinations.
We want to build globally recognised brands which, by inspiring exceptional experiences among our guests, instilling pride and integrity in our associates, and enhancing both the physical and human environment in which we operate, will deliver attractive returns to our shareholders.
