Caas Agreement Announcement
Taking a Bold Step Towards a Greener Future
Marco Polo Hotels Partners with Dalkia Middle East for Sustainable Cooling Solutions.
About the
Cooling-as-a-Service (CaaS) Partnership
At Marco Polo Hotels, we have always believed in the power of innovation and sustainability. Today, we are excited to announce a new chapter in our journey towards reducing our environmental footprint and enhancing energy efficiency. In a landmark partnership, Marco Polo Hotels has officially signed a Cooling-as-a-Service (CaaS) agreement with Dalkia Middle East, a leader in sustainable energy solutions and part of the EDF (Électricité de France) Group.
This agreement marks a pivotal moment in our commitment to making our operations more environmentally friendly while continuing to offer the highest levels of comfort to our guests.
Under this innovative partnership, Dalkia Middle East will implement advanced cooling solutions tailored to meet Marco Polo Hotels’ needs, leveraging cutting-edge technology to ensure optimal energy consumption. This service-based model enables us to access state-of-the-art cooling systems while paying for the service rather than investing heavily in new equipment upfront.
Why This Matters
Cooling is essential to the comfort of our guests, especially in regions like the Middle East where temperatures soar throughout much of the year. Traditional cooling systems often consume vast amounts of energy, contributing significantly to carbon emissions. With Dalkia’s sustainable cooling solutions, we aim to:
• Reduce our energy consumption, leading to a smaller carbon footprint.
• Lower operational costs by using energy more efficiently.
• Enhance guest comfort with reliable and eco-friendly cooling systems.
This collaboration not only underscores our dedication to environmental responsibility but also aligns with global sustainability initiatives aimed at combating climate change.
A Partnership Built on Shared Values
The signing ceremony took place with key leaders from both organizations: Steve Lemoine, CEO of Dalkia Middle East, and Harish Pilar, General Manager of Marco Polo Hotels. Together, they expressed their shared vision of creating a more sustainable hospitality industry.
“Partnering with Dalkia Middle East is a significant step forward for us,” said Harish Pilar. “We are thrilled to implement Dalkia’s Cooling-as-a-Service solution, which will not only optimize our energy use but also contribute to our overall sustainability goals. This agreement strengthens our commitment to creating a more eco-conscious future while maintaining the exceptional hospitality experience our guests expect.”
What’s Next?
The implementation of the CaaS model is set to begin in the coming months, with the cooling systems being integrated across various facilities within the Marco Polo Hotel network. We are confident that this partnership will not only enhance our operational efficiency but also set a new standard for sustainability in the hospitality sector.
