The Spirit of Innovation

"Ecolab's SMARTPOWER™ program really helps us to achieve all of this. This new system is, for us, a perfect association. It contributes to taking care of our employees and taking care of our guests."
- Stephane Fabregoul, Managing Director, JW Marriott Singapore South Beach and St Regis, Singapore
Better together
Ecolab's SMARTPOWER™ program combines three elements to bring JW Marriott's Food and Beverage operations to a new level of food safety, simplicity, and sustainability. These elements are:
- Innovative Chemistry that includes highly effective formulas designed to eliminate the toughest food soils
- Actionable Insights that provide full visibility and control to improve processes, rewashes, and labor costs
- Personalized Service that delivers top-notch hands-on service to ensure operational success
Results
Since implementing SMARTPOWER™ in January 2017, Ecolab's three-pronged approach has enabled JW Marriott Singapore to achieve key operational and sustainability improvements:
- Greater visibility and control of chemical usage and sanitizing temperatures
- Enhanced workplace performance and efficiency by having a more intuitive system that alerts employees to a variety of issues such as the need for a wash tank change and the need to adjust temperature settings
- Improved workplace safety by having fewer chemical spills that resulted in less hours dedicated to cleaning
- Achieved greater sustainability standards through SMARTPOWER's sustainable packaging that reduces 96% of plastic compared to typical cartons of detergent. This accounts for an annual reduction of 800kg worth of plastic.
The collaborative partnership between JW Marriott Singapore South Beach and Ecolab seamlessly integrates innovation into the property's Food and Beverage operations, which aligns with the property's vision to transform the hotel industry for sustainable growth.
