The hotel group celebrated World Environment Day and World Oceans Day with several sustainability initiatives and an awareness campaign
National, June 14, 2019: Palladium Hotel Group celebrated World Environment Day and World Oceans Day with initiatives in all its hotels throughout last week and a campaign aimed at raising awareness of the role that people and companies play in fighting climate change and preserving the environment.
The Spanish hotel company, which belongs to Empresas Matutes Group, has been promoting environmental initiatives and projects for years within the framework of its Corporate Social Responsibility policy which, this year, has been reinforced with new commitments.
Among them, the priority objective of eliminating single-use plastics stands out. Since 2018, and with a significant step forward this season, Hard Rock Hotels in Ibiza and Tenerife, Ushuaïa Ibiza Beach Hotel, Palladium Hotels and Grand Palladium Hotels & Resorts in Europe, are withdrawing all single-use plastic products and replacing them with biodegradable or reusable material.
In addition, the group has recently joined the movement Ibiza and Formentera Without Plastic promoted by the Foundation for the Conservation of Ibiza and Formentera (IPF). The organization has awarded the company the certification of ‘a star’ recognising its work in the elimination of plastics. This initiative is also being successfully carried out at TRS Hotels and Grand Palladium Hotels & Resorts in the destinations of Mexico, Dominican Republic, Jamaica and Brazil.
Other relevant actions are those aimed at the conservation of natural environments with great ecological value and the protection of species. In this way, Palladium Hotel Group will join the International Coastal Cleaning Day in September in several of its hotels located on the American continent. For their part, the resorts of Jamaica, Vallarta and Riviera Maya have Tortuguero Camps and, in fact, the Grand Palladium Kantenah Resort & Spa, has managed to protect more than 6,500 nests and has released more than 600,000 hatchlings since its launch in 2012.
