Marking World Ocean Day 2026, Novotel Mumbai Juhu Beach reaffirmed its commitment to sustainability and ocean conservation through a series of initiatives aimed at promoting responsible consumption, reducing waste, and raising environmental awareness.
As part of Accor’s Save Ocean campaign, now in its third year since its launch in 2024, the hotel continues to integrate sustainable practices across its operations while encouraging collective action towards protecting marine ecosystems.
In line with the occasion, Novotel Mumbai Juhu Beach organized a beach clean-up drive at Juhu Beach on 3 June 2026 in collaboration with Funsmart Knowledge Solution Foundation. The initiative brought together hotel associates and volunteers to help clean the coastline and create awareness about marine pollution, waste segregation, and environmental responsibility.
The hotel has also undertaken several sustainability measures to reduce its environmental footprint. These include the installation of an in-house bottling plant to reduce dependence on single-use plastic bottles, supporting a more circular and sustainable operating model. Additionally, waste segregation bins have been installed across key areas within the property to encourage guests, visitors, and associates to participate in responsible waste disposal practices.
Further strengthening its sustainability efforts, the hotel has introduced sustainably sourced personal care kits as part of its guest amenities, aligning its hospitality operations with environmentally conscious practices.
Speaking about the initiative, Kunal Shanker, General Manager, Novotel Mumbai Juhu Beach, said, “At Novotel Mumbai Juhu Beach, sustainability is not viewed as a standalone initiative but as an integral part of how we operate every day. As we mark the third year of Accor’s Save Ocean campaign, we remain committed to reducing our environmental footprint through responsible practices, conscious resource management, and community engagement. The beach clean-up drive served as a meaningful reminder that even small collective actions can contribute towards preserving our coastlines and marine ecosystems for future generations.”
Manav Sony, Founder, Funsmart Knowledge Solution Foundation, said, “Environmental conservation requires long-term commitment and collaboration. We were pleased to partner with Novotel Mumbai Juhu Beach on this initiative, which not only helped create awareness around marine pollution but also encouraged community participation in protecting our natural ecosystems. Such efforts play an important role in fostering sustainable habits and driving positive environmental impact.”
Through these initiatives, Novotel Mumbai Juhu Beach continues to demonstrate its commitment to responsible hospitality while encouraging communities and stakeholders to contribute towards a cleaner and more sustainable future.
