Sustainability policy
At the Iberostar Group, sustainable development is a driving force in our business. We are committed to making our hotels’ growth compatible with environmental protection and cultural heritage, along with promoting the social and economic well-being of our zones of influence. All sustainability strategies are based on solid ethics and good corporate governance.
Environmental policy
Iberostar Group recognizes that the environment is an element that should condition and limit human activity, but at the same time it is also a competitiveness factor in the business in which we operate, and a fundamental part of a hotel's value is marked by the natural environments in which they are located. Implementing measures for their protection not only favours its natural habitat, but also improves customer relations and benefits the socio-economic sustainability of each destination.
Pacts and Alliances
In our commitment to society and the environment, in the Iberostar Group we adhere to different pacts to achieve an ethical and responsible management, such as the United Nations Global Compact, the WTO Global Code of Ethics for Tourism, UNICEF’s ECPAT Code of Conduct, and the Iberostar Pact for sustainable progress, aimed at all of our suppliers.
Crime prevention plan
Iberostar Group has a Crime Prevention Plan (CPP), which consists of a range of rules, principles and values that govern the actions of the people who work for the company. The Plan’s actions and initiatives include the publication of the Grupo Iberostar’s Code of Ethics, a reference for internal management and our relationships with stakeholders.
Stakeholders
At Iberostar Group, we are constantly evolving and developing new forms of communication with our main stakeholders. We make our customers, employees, partners, suppliers, administrations, public entities and social agents participants in our policies, because we believe they are key in promoting responsible awareness.
