The CSR policy of Cactus Hotels derives from its business mission which is mainly related to the minimization of its environmental impacts and the maximization of safety and quality of services. Our main expectation is the continuous improvement.
Cactus Hotels sustainability program is based on a set of criteria set by the certification and quality assurance standards that the hotel holds.
The main concern, in a highly competitive environment of the tourism industry, is the continuous upgrading of the services provided to our customers. In every action in this direction we ensure that it is done with absolute respect and minimal impact on the environment and the local community.
The four main areas on which the strategy is designed are:
The stakeholders
The working environment
Local society and
The natural environment
A key pillar for supporting sustainable development is shaping corporate responsibility. Corporate social responsibility creates a competitive advantage to enhance the company's reputation and performance.
As our properties are most of them new or newly renovated, we use sustainable and innovative practices and methods. Our goal is to preservethe valuable natural resources of our destination for the future generations. We adopt and implement responsible policies regarding the preserving of water, the increasing of energy efficiency and the promoting of recycling within our premises.
We donot yet measure our carbon foot print but we follow ways for reducing it in the atmosphere.
Based on these commitments, Cactus Hotels aim at:
- implementing actions to save energy, to reduce water consumption, to manage wastewater properly and to reduce and manage solid waste produced.
- the protection of beach and water quality. We select certified ecological products for kitchen and housekeeping and we perform regular chemical and microbiological water tests.
