A year of preparation and six months of monitoring and evaluating the hotel’s performance were necessary to establish a continuous monitoring system for the sustainable development by the hotel’s staff.

Special attention was rendered to eight areas: Production and service of food and beverage, implementation of a policy of sustainable development, energy, water, paper consumption, waste management, use of cleaning products and a commitment to the local community.

ISO 14001 is an international standard that provides a set of standardised requirements for environmental management systems. Companies gain certification by implementing policies, procedures and systems that follow and meet ISO standards, which are assessed by a third-party certification body.
