Fairmont Hotels & Resorts Removes Shark Fin from Menus in ALL its hotels in Asia!
Congrats Fairmont for joining the ever growing club!
“Our hotels are constantly seeking ways to be more ethical in their menu choices and have removed other at risk species under the guidance of reputable seafood watch organizations. Simply put, it’s the right thing to do.”
Fairmont Singapore has not served Shark Fin since 2009, but now Fairmont Beijing, Fairmont Yangcheng Lake and the iconic Fairmont Peace Hotel in Shanghai pitch in!
Also in 2009, Fairmont removed two at-risk species, Bluefin Tuna and Chilean Sea Bass, from all hotel menus worldwide as part of their Sustainable Seafood initiative. Their hotels work with locally reputable seafood watch organizations, and with local suppliers.
Not just removing items from the menu but they reportedly highlight alternative options on their menus, and seek ways to educate colleagues and guests on sustainable food choices that help conserve marine resources.
