SAI DAENG SUSTAINABILITY JOURNEY | 03
TOGETHER FOR A CLEANER SAI DAENG:
OUR BIG CLEANING DAY
At Sai Daeng, sustainability starts with action, and some of the most meaningful actions begin with our own people. As part of our sustainability journey and wider environmental activities, 30 Sai Daeng employees have come together for two Big Cleaning Day activities, working side by side to collect marine litter and ocean waste that had washed ashore along our coastline, particularly following waves and storm conditions. This waste did not originate from Sai Daeng’s inland operations, but was carried onto the shore by the sea. While we take responsibility for managing the waste generated through our own operations, we also believe that caring for our surroundings means contributing beyond our own footprint.
Approximately 2,176 kg Collected
Across the two Big Cleaning Day activities, our team collected approximately 2,176 kg of marine litter and ocean waste. Importantly, our responsibility did not end with collection. We aim to keep materials in use and recover value from waste wherever possible. Of the approximately 2,176 kg collected, 288 kg was recovered for recycling and 508 kg was turned into compost. Together, this represents 796 kg of waste, or approximately 37% of the total collected, being returned to productive use rather than simply sent for disposal, supporting Sai Daeng’s commitment to circular economy principles. The remaining waste was sent for appropriate waste management and disposal, helping ensure that the entire process, from collection to final management, was handled responsibly.
By removing marine litter from our coastline, we help reduce the risk of ingestion, entanglement, and habitat damage, protecting marine life and the ocean ecosystem for the future.
Our People, Our Responsibility
Big Cleaning Day is more than a cleaning activity. It brings our employees together, strengthens environmental awareness, and turns Sai Daeng’s sustainability commitments into practical action. With 30 employees participating, the activities demonstrate what collective effort can achieve. Every kilogram collected and responsibly managed contributes to caring for the coastline and marine environment that are such an important part of Sai Daeng and Koh Tao.
Small Actions, Collective Impact
Two Big Cleaning Days. 30 employees. Approximately 2,176 kg collected. 288 kg recycled. 508 kg turned into compost.
These numbers represent more than a cleaning activity. They represent our people taking action together and extending our environmental responsibility beyond our own operations. Our Big Cleaning Day is one part of the wider Sai Daeng Sustainability Journey, and we will continue working together to care for the natural environment that makes Koh Tao so special.
