Targets
​
“At SBR we set up regular targets because we believe that it is important to have a focus point to aim for in both the short and long term. By setting up yearly targets we are able to achieve greater results than if we were to try to do everything at the same time. On the other hand by also setting up longer term targets we can track where we are going in the future and adjust our yearly targets accordingly.”
​
SBR is very target oriented. Every year, old targets are reviewed and new ones are set. SBR has in fact been setting itself targets since its conception and has an excellent track record of meeting the targets that it fixes itself.
Below is a list of our latest targets which have been set over the years. Most of these targets have been achieved.

Mid-Term Objectives & Goals
#1 Global Climate Change
SBR takes the risks posed by climate change seriously and will continue to develop by integrating elements which will both reduce its carbon emissions and provide adaptive advantages to a changing environment.
Objective
Goal
In the medium term, SBR intends to become a carbon neutral hotel by offsetting its emissions.
#2 Global Biodiversity Loss
Objective
Preservation of biodiversity remains a key aspect of how SBR operates. SBR is committed to preserve a rich biodiversity on its premises and to actively promote global biodiversity conservation through outreach programs.
Goal
SBR will continue in its efforts to preserve and increase habitats on its premises in order to host a variety of species . This includes the preservation of existing trees and ponds and their associated species.
#3 Operations Financial Growth
Objective
SBR takes the concept of sustainability in a holistic way which encompasses not only environmental and social issues, but also financial sustainability and economic growth. SBR intends to continue its business in an environmentally and socially sustainable way while remaining financially viable.
Goal
SBR intends to continue to grow the business and achieve long term financial growth.
#3 Depletion of Fresh Water Resources
Objective
At SBR, the water management is already very good and tap water consumption very low for an hotel of its size. SBR will however, continue to intensify efforts to even push the water saving initiatives further by both improving on water efficiency and by maintaining the health of its spring water reservoir.
Goal
Invest in Cleantech to better control water consumption in guest rooms (where most of the current tap water consumption occurs).
