To support affected communities, the Banyan Global Foundation will sponsor a project to restore access to safe drinking water in the Al Haouz préfecture, near Marrakesh.

it is common for chefs to switch restaurants every few years. But outliers do exist. Chef Renu Homsombut has dedicated the past 20 years of her life to honing her skills at Banyan Tree Bangkok. </p><p>Joining the group in 2004 as an event chef, Renu’s desire to learn and improve has led to her rise to her current role of Chef De Cuisine. Known as a Thai culinary master, she has overseen the opening of the Group’s Saffron restaurants.</p><p>Despite being sought after by other top kitchens, Renu remains loyal to Banyan Group, citing its ample opportunities for growth and learning. Now, she looks forward to passing on her expertise by training the next generation of chefs.</p><p>Renu’s journey exemplifies how an organisation’s focus on nurturing and empowering its associates can fuel its growth and success in the industry.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-cf27126 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child" data-id="cf27126" data-element_type="container"> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-4126d71 elementor-widget-divider--view-line_icon elementor-widget-divider--element-align-left elementor-view-default elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider" data-id="4126d71" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="divider.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <div class="elementor-divider"> <span class="elementor-divider-separator"> <div class="elementor-icon elementor-divider__element"> <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" width="50.732" height="50.732" viewBox="0 0 50.732 50.732"><defs><clipPath id="clip-path"><path id="Path_1804" data-name="Path 1804" d="M25.367,0A25.366,25.366,0,1,0,50.732,25.367,25.367,25.367,0,0,0,25.367,0Z" transform="translate(0 0)" fill="none"></path></clipPath></defs><g id="Group_6516" data-name="Group 6516" transform="translate(0 0)" clip-path="url(#clip-path)"><path id="Path_1801" data-name="Path 1801" d="M10.627,14.4h2.2V38.97a.881.881,0,1,0,1.761,0V13.492a.9.9,0,0,0-.88-.91h-1.5l4.14-6.915,4.14,6.915h-1.5a.9.9,0,0,0-.879.91V47.158a.88.88,0,1,0,1.759,0V14.4h2.2a.879.879,0,0,0,.767-.466.941.941,0,0,0-.02-.924L17.1,3.458h0a.866.866,0,0,0-1.5,0L9.879,13.012a.936.936,0,0,0-.02.924.874.874,0,0,0,.767.466" transform="translate(9.324 2.896)" fill="#bff143"></path><path id="Path_1802" data-name="Path 1802" d="M19.776,19.79h-1.5l4.138-6.915,4.142,6.915h-1.5a.87.87,0,0,0-.622.266.929.929,0,0,0-.256.644V36.624a.88.88,0,1,0,1.759,0V21.61h2.2a.884.884,0,0,0,.769-.466.946.946,0,0,0-.022-.924l-5.719-9.554a.866.866,0,0,0-1.5,0L15.951,20.22a.936.936,0,0,0-.022.924.872.872,0,0,0,.769.466h2.2V53.457a.879.879,0,1,0,1.757,0V20.7a.925.925,0,0,0-.258-.644.863.863,0,0,0-.622-.266" transform="translate(15.131 9.791)" fill="#bff143"></path><path id="Path_1803" data-name="Path 1803" d="M16.741,23.708l-5.717-9.554a.866.866,0,0,0-1.5,0L3.809,23.708a.941.941,0,0,0-.022.924.882.882,0,0,0,.769.466h2.2v10.92a.88.88,0,1,0,1.759,0V24.188a.9.9,0,0,0-.88-.91h-1.5l4.14-6.915,4.138,6.915h-1.5a.867.867,0,0,0-.622.266.925.925,0,0,0-.258.644V50.12a.881.881,0,1,0,1.761,0V25.1h2.2a.879.879,0,0,0,.769-.466.936.936,0,0,0-.022-.924" transform="translate(3.517 13.128)" fill="#bff143"></path></g></svg></div> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-bc613e6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading" data-id="bc613e6" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="heading.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <h5 class="elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default">Our ACHIEVEMENTS</h5> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-79b4830 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child" data-id="79b4830" data-element_type="container"> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-728e416 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child" data-id="728e416" data-element_type="container"> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-c3623f1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor" data-id="c3623f1" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="text-editor.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <p>In 2023, the adjusted gender pay gap at our owned and managed hotels was 3.2% after adjusting for gender, local/expatriate, age, job level and education.
