This certification is awarded to us after being audited by an independent assessor and is backed by government agencies such as National Environment Agency (NEA), Enterprise Singapore (ESG), Singapore Tourism Board (STB), and Singapore Food Agency (SFA). The SG Clean campaign is a government effort to rally businesses and the public to adopt good personal habits and social responsibility to keep Singapore clean and safe.
On-going hygiene protocols include:
• We adopt the highest standard in cleaning and disinfecting high traffic customer service touchpoints. Hand sanitisers are prominently placed throughout employee areas, reception desk, lifts and entrances. All high touch areas such as remote controls in the guestrooms, door handles, lift buttons, reception, and sofas will be deep cleaned and sanitised frequently. All cleaning activities will be recorded in the cleaning log after completion.
• Our team members have been guided on the correct hand-washing techniques and are reminded of the importance of good hygiene. All chefs are required to wash and sanitise their hands frequently.
• We encourage the use of e-payment methods such as Scan & Pay and PayWave for a contactless experience.
