HOI AN: The Field Restaurant, managed by Emic Hospitality, situated in the ancient town, has been awarded the Gold Platinum Low-Carbon Tourism Standard certification by Magnus International, a leading company in environmental project management and carbon offsets.
This distinction marks it as the first tourism establishment in Vietnam to achieve such a high standard.
Renowned for its exceptional dining experiences that honour indigenous culture while promoting natural ecosystem regeneration, the restaurant has dedicated considerable time to establishing a foundation rooted in zero waste principles, circular economy practices, and sustainability standards within the tourism sector.
Comprehensive waste-management protocols have been implemented across all service areas, including waste-management training programmes, initiatives to minimise waste, and measures to enhance energy efficiency.
Additionally, the restaurant actively participates in community-based environmental and livelihood projects.
Operated within a self-sufficient garden setting, the restaurant employs biological wastewater treatment systems, as well as effective energy and water-management practices, all situated amidst picturesque paddy fields.
It’s hailed as the pioneering restaurant in Hoi An championing a sustainable approach based on the 5R principle –Refuse, Reduce, Recycle, Reuse and Repurpose – since 2017.
Emic Hospitality, in partnership with the Environmental Management Fund Foundation and Magnus International Thailand, signed a memorandum of understanding aimed at enhancing their commitment to sustainability and positioning Hoi An as a model for sustainable and responsible tourism.
