World's Leading Sustainable Female Empowerment Initiative 2025

Aitken Spence Hotels has embedded sustainability education at the heart of its operations through the Aitken Spence Institute of Hotel Management. Training over 9,000 students to date, the institute integrates responsible tourism practices into hospitality curricula. The Green Graduates initiative ensures all trainees are proficient in energy management, waste reduction, and community impact. These graduates power a network of eco-certified hotels across Sri Lanka, the Maldives, and India—hotels that actively reduce water use, emissions, and food waste. The initiative uplifts youth from rural communities while building a skilled, sustainability-focused workforce.

Aitken Spence’s commitment to learning as transformation sets it apart as a sustainability enabler in the region.
