Sheraton Maldives, HDC partner for Hulhumale' clean drive, collects 1.5 tons of waste

Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa, in collaboration with the Housing Development Corporation (HDC), organized a community clean drive in Hulhumale' on September 8, 2025.

Starting at 6:45 am, more than 20 associates from the resort volunteered their time to collect litter around the Hulhumale' Ferry Terminal Lakudi Jetty and Central Park.

The team successfully removed 1.5 tons of garbage, helping to revitalize one of the capital’s busiest public areas.

For HDC, the clean drive aligns with its mission to promote sustainable urban development in Hulhumale', reinforcing the value of public-private partnerships in safeguarding the Maldives’ natural and urban environments.

“At Sheraton Maldives, we believe that sustainability is best achieved through collaboration,” said Greg Allan, General Manager of Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa.
