Run for Your Well-Being Marriott International Indonesia Announces Virtual Run to Give 2021
'Run to Give' is an annual Marriott Asia Pacific program that has become an integral part of the company's commitment to cultivate a people-first environment that promotes associates' well-beings and drives its people to care for the communities where they do business.

In cooperation with Bali Children Foundation, this year's virtual run proceeds will be going towards helping thousands of children to complete school, to find employment, and to improve their lives and the life of their community, as well as towards the distribution of a 'Bersama Box' filled with basic food items and necessities for approximately 4,000 associates across the country.
This event has a registration fee of AU$15 (approximately Rp155,000), and as part of the registration, participants will receive an e-Certificate.

NZ's First 5 Green Star Hotel Named Runner Up In The Sustainability Category In National Geographic Traveller Magazine's Hotel Awards
The Hotel Britomart has picked up another global accolade, this time in National Geographic Traveller Magazine’s annual Hotel Awards.
The London-based magazine’s annual Hotel Awards acknowledge the latest tastemakers, trendsetters and game-changers in the hotel business around the world.
The Hotel Britomart, New Zealand’s first 5 Green Star hotel, was awarded runner-up in the Good Egg (most sustainable hotel) category. Xigera Safari Lodge in Botswana won the category, while Costa Rica’s Cielo Lodge was also a runner-up.
The Hotel Britomart’s 5 Green Star rating is certified by the New Zealand Green Building Council. This rating required detailed attention in every aspect of the building, from choice of materials and paints to the selection of efficient tapware, lighting, and state-of-the-art air conditioning systems. 80% of construction waste at the hotel was recycled, while the building is designed to have 50% fewer carbon emissions than a structure that meets the minimum standards of the local building code.
Like all the buildings in the Britomart precinct, The Hotel Britomart’s ongoing environmental performance is audited and managed using the NZ Green Building Council’s Green Star Performance Tool. The full list of Hotel Award winners is on https://www.nationalgeographic.co.uk/travel/2021/08/national-geographic-traveller-hotel-awards-2021-39-of-the-worlds-best-new-hotels in the magazine’s October issue.
