It is the first Convention Hotel in Thailand to receive both the internationally-recognized ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 14001 accreditation. The ISO 14001 certification is given to organizations that implement as well as comply withstrict environmental policies. Royal Cliff has long been at the forefront of environmental issues in Pattaya, dating back to 1973 when it became the first hotel in the city to construct its very own wastewater treatment plant. Factors which have enabled the resort to achieve reaccreditation include its regular environmental awareness training for staff, its system of waste management, recycling and disposal, a "save water/energy" campaign involving both staff and guests, the use of environmentally-friendly cleaning agents and products, the establishment of an environmental committee within the property, daily beach-cleaning exercises and a leadership role within the community.
The ISO 9001 certification is a set of guidelines established by the International Standards Organization and is currently adopted by more than 70 countries around the world providing companies and organizations with a common approach to applying a quality management framework for achieving customer satisfaction and continual improvement. By redefining its existing policies, developing new service-oriented programs as well as implementing a wide-ranging plan of increased awareness among staff at all levels, Royal Cliff was awarded an extension of the ISO 9001 certification for another 3 years. All of Royal Cliff’s MICE facilities including its prominent flagship, the Pattaya Exhibition and Convention Hall have once again been assessed and confirmed to have met all the requirements of TIS 22300 – 2551, which is that standard for security management of Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions (MICE) that is certified by the Management System Certification Institute of Thailand.
