We believe the wellbeing of people and our planet is intertwined, and that protecting the Earth we share is a collective responsibility. Our sustainability practices are embedded across our operations, with ongoing efforts to enhance energy and water efficiency, reduce waste, and integrate responsible choices into every touchpoint of our guests’ experience. Beyond environmental stewardship, we are committed to creating shared value and growing together with the Hua Hin community, which we consider our “home”. Through continuous support for the local community, we aim enhance quality of life and contribute to sustainable development across environmental, economic, and social dimensions, enabling the community and its people to grow in a balanced and sustainable way over the long term.
The 2024 Sustainability Report marks the Company’s inaugural sustainability report, created to communicate Chiva-Som’s sustainability goals, vision, mission, and management approaches, while demonstrating progress toward achieving sustainability objectives and significant accomplishments relevant to Chiva-Som and its stakeholders. This report details sustainability initiatives across three key dimensions: Economic, Social, and Environmental (ESG), covering three business units in Thailand under Chiva-Som’s operational control (owned and managed by the Company) and overseen by the Board of Directors.

At Chiva-Som, sustainability is more than a commitment, it is a guiding philosophy that shapes how we operate, grow, and contribute to the world around us. Anchored in our culture and long-term vision, it drives meaningful action across every aspect of our organisation. Through our quadruple bottom-line approach, balancing Wellness, Environment, Community, and Prosperity, we deliver exceptional wellness experiences while ensuring responsible environmental stewardship, positive social impact, and sustainable business performance. Our journey toward a zero-carbon future is well underway. We are actively measuring and reducing our carbon footprint, investing in innovation, and improving operational efficiency to advance our long-term climate ambitions. At the same time, our enduring partnership with the Hua Hin community remains central to our purpose. By supporting environmental conservation, education, local livelihoods, and social wellbeing, we strive to create shared value beyond our property boundaries to positively influence the wider ecosystem around us. Our alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals continues to guide our strategy and priorities, providing a global framework for meaningful and measurable impact. As we look ahead, we are expanding our sustainability efforts across our supply chain, strengthening partnerships, and embedding responsible practices throughout our value chain to ensure long-term, shared value creation. Sustainability is an ongoing journey. Together with our employees, partners, guests, and community, we remain committed to building a resilient, responsible, and sustainable future.
From the very beginning, sustainability has not been an added initiative, but a founding principle embedded in our philosophy. Guided by the vision of our founder, Khun Boonchu Rojanastien, we have always believed that true well-being arises from balance, not only of body, mind, and spirit, but also in the way we live in harmony with the environment and society. For three decades, this belief has shaped our direction and defined our purpose. We recognise that personal wellness and environmental wellness must go hand in hand. Our vision for sustainable wellness is therefore rooted in promoting long-term well-being through mindful living in harmony with nature, while supporting environmental conservation, ecological restoration, and the sustainable development of the communities around us. Our sustainability strategy reflects this enduring commitment through a quadruple bottom-line approach, balancing Wellness, Environment, Community, and Prosperity. This framework ensures that we create value not only for our guests and business, but also for the planet and society at large.
Our commitment to sustainable wellness is reflected in the meaningful progress we’ve made across environmental, social, and governance priorities. This year, we deepened our dedication to sustainable living by embracing practices that nurture both the land and the guest experience
At Chiva-Som, sustainability is embedded in every aspect of how we operate. From managing energy and emissions to conserving water and closing the loop on waste, we take a holistic approach to reducing our environmental footprint — guided by a commitment to responsible practices that protect both people and planet.

We support economic growth in our communities by hiring and sourcing locally as far as we can. We also contribute to social welfare and cultural conservation schemes with fundraising and sponsored events. We’re conscious to share our commitment to reducing our environmental impact with guests, staff, suppliers and our neighbourhoods.
How we support community?
We believe personal wellness goes hand-in-hand with environmental wellness and that companies should conduct themselves using responsible and ethical business practices, policies and initiatives. That’s why, since opening in 1995, we have nurtured a healthy, safe and vibrant community, operated as an integral part of Hua Hin and played our part in protecting the Earth.
At Chiva-Som, we believe personal wellness and environmental wellness must go Hand in Hand. Our Sustainability Fund invites guests and partners to be part of this meaningful journey.

Through collective support, we aim to nurture a place where wellness, nature, and community thrive together, creating lasting positive impact.
