 
Back To News/PR Index | Grand Pacific Resorts Partners with Clean the World | Toiletries Recycled for Life-Saving Hygiene Kits | �Clean the World perfectly complements the two sides of our social responsibility program,� says David Brown, Co-President at Grand Pacific Resorts. �It protects the environment by keeping waste out of landfills. It�s also �enriching lives� by giving families access to hygiene products�a simple but profoundly important need.� More than 5,000 children under the age of five die every day from hygiene-related diseases. Clean the World estimates that proper hand washing with soap can prevent up to 65 percent of the occurrences of these diseases, more than 3,000 lives per day. Housekeepers at all resorts managed by Grand Pacific Resorts now collect partially-used toiletries, which are sent to Clean the World for sorting, sanitizing, and repackaging. Soap is ground up and then melted down to make new bars, which are distributed with help from partner non-profits to families in more than 100 countries. �Sustainability
is a major focus for hotels,� said Shawn Seipler, CEO and co-founder of
Clean the World. �Grand Pacific Resorts doubles down in its approach to
corporate social responsibility by incorporating the humanitarian element
along with the environmental focus. That strategy is directly aligned with
our mission.�
