Pullman Phuket
Karon Beach Resort

Verified Green Bamboo
Awarded: 1st May 2025 - Valid for 1 year
Zannier Bãi San Hô earned the Verified Silver Bamboo Badge after submitting at least six consecutive months of operational data across five key impact areas: Energy, Water, Food, Waste, and Local Employment.
All data was independently reviewed by HLB International, a global audit and advisory network, and assessed against benchmarks aligned with the GSTC Industry Criteria, UNEP, and ILO standards.
The Bamboo Badge confirms that this hotel has met minimum sustainability performance thresholds based not on self-reported claims, but on credible, verified evidence.
Community leadership
With more than 94% of staff hired locally, the hotel embeds community engagement and opportunity into guest experiences.
Local sourcing
Around 90% of ingredients are sourced locally, supporting nearby farms, reducing food miles, and delivering fresher flavours to guests.
Waste management
Structured reduction routines and clear staff processes help the resort keep total waste below less than the weight of an apple per square metre.
What is Tuu’s Verified
Bamboo Badge?
The Bamboo Badge is Tuu’s mark of verified sustainability performance.
To earn it, a hotel must submit at least six consecutive months of operational data across five core metrics — Energy, Water, Food, Waste, and Team.
Each submission is reviewed by HLB International to ensure all data is credible, consistent, and backed by evidence.
Unlike traditional sustainability certifications, the Bamboo Badge is:
Data-driven — based on actual operational metrics
Independently verified — audited by a global ESG assurance network
Blockchain-registered — for transparency and traceability
It’s not a claim — it’s a verified achievement. And it’s the first step toward being recognised in the Eco Stay Awards, which spotlight outstanding hotels in Environmental Impact, Local Community, Cultural Heritage, and Sustainability Planning.
