Eco-certifying our operations

Green Globe certification is one of the strictest international and independent certifications for sustainable tourism, and only awards establishments in the tourism sector who are committed to improving the environmental and social management of their business activity.
Eco-certification is granted by accredited bodies which ensures environmental and social best practices at those sites. More than 300 criteria are taken into account in the following areas:

• actions towards the economic and social development of the host region
• efficient water and energy management
• protection of biodiversity
• reduction of greenhouse gas emissions
• protection of air quality and noise management
• training teams and raising G.M. awareness of the need to conserve resources
