Sheraton Resorts Fiji
In celebration of World Mangrove Day on Friday 25 July, Sheraton Fiji Golf & Beach Resort and Sheraton Denarau Villas brought together 50 passionate associates to plant over 200 mangrove seedlings at the Denarau Golf & Racquet Club’s championship course.
The activity is part of the resorts’ broader Sustainable Mangrove Planting Initiative, launched in August 2024, and reinforces the brand’s long-term commitment to climate resilience and environmental stewardship. The first activation saw 144 team members, supported by Marriott International Fiji Resorts’ Next Gen Business Council and senior leadership, plant 427 mangrove saplings as a foundation step in restoring coastal habitats.
Spanning 25 acres of oceanfront property, the Resort has sustainability built into its DNA. With 68% of its grounds dedicated to lush landscaping, solar energy systems in place, and a certified Environmental Management System (EMS), the resort has embedded eco-consciousness into daily operations. Every new team member undergoes sustainability training, and 29 appointed sustainability champions actively lead green initiatives on-site.
The Denarau Golf & Racquet Club, where the planting took place, is connected to a natural waterway network and stands as a living example of the ecosystems the resort is working to protect.
“Through initiatives like this, we empower our next generation of leaders to protect what makes Fiji extraordinary, and ensure that our communities and coastlines thrive for generations to come,” said Yvo Van Dijk, Hotel Manager, Sheraton Fiji Golf & Beach Resort and Sheraton Denarau Villas.
