Quest Plus Clark Wins Green Stay Excellence Award
The STAR Awards, which stands for Sustainable Tourism Appreciation and Recognition, reflects the hotel’s dedication to environmental sustainability and green operations, setting a high standard among hospitality industry peers.
The hotel received the Green Stay Excellence award, recognizing its pioneering efforts in integrating environmentally responsible hospitality practices. Notable initiatives at Quest Plus Clark include the Food Rescue Initiative, which partners with local charities to divert surplus edible food from landfills to those in need, thereby minimizing food waste. There is also the Room for Trees program, inviting guests to take part in tree planting activities aimed at rehabilitating local ecosystems and increasing community green spaces.
Further emphasizing sustainability, Quest Plus Clark has committed to a zero-plastic initiative through the use of biodegradable and compostable packaging. The property has also introduced a glass-to-sand recycling machine, which transforms used glass bottles into sand that can be repurposed for construction and landscaping projects, reducing landfill waste. Additionally, through the Live, Love, Local program, the hotel supports the local economy by showcasing and selling products and handicrafts made by local artisans, fostering community empowerment and celebrating Filipino culture.

“The STAR Award is a testament to our team’s unwavering commitment to providing exceptional hospitality while serving as responsible stewards of the environment,” says Quest Plus Clark’s general manager Michael Gapin.
“We share this honor with our valued guests and partners whose support makes our sustainable efforts possible. It is their collaboration that allows us to deliver a truly greener stay,” she added.
Located within Filinvest Mimosa+ Leisure City, Quest Plus remains dedicated to being a leader in eco-conscious hospitality industry by offering outdoor activities centered in nature around its lush greenery.
The hotel’s adjacent Mimosa Plus Golf Course also achieved a significant milestone last year by becoming the first golf club in the Philippines to earn GEO (Golf Environment Organization) Certification. This internationally recognized accreditation assesses golf clubs based on their efforts to preserve local ecosystems, implement sustainable resource management, and deliver positive social and economic benefits to the community. The certification process includes site audits, evidence gathering, and ongoing improvement requirements, ensuring that the golf course continues to uphold high standards of environmental responsibility and community engagement.
