Veranda Grand Baie is proud to announce its achievement of Green Key certification, marking the culmination of a concerted effort to enhance sustainability practices across all Veranda hotels. With this achievement, Veranda Grand Baie becomes the latest addition to a prestigious group of eco-conscious properties within the Veranda brand, joining its counterparts – Pointe aux Biches, Paul & Virginie, Palmar Beach, and Tamarin Hotel – in proudly displaying the Green Key emblem.
This Green Key certification is an excellent recognition of environmental responsibility and sustainable tourism. It demonstrates that businesses are committed to adhering to strict rules set by the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE). When you see the Green Key emblem, it signifies that the place you’re staying at is dedicated to environmental preservation. Maintaining these high standards requires meticulous record-keeping and regular checks.
For Veranda Resorts, achieving Green Key certification across all its boutique hotels represents a significant milestone in its journey towards sustainability. Pooja Etwah, the Sustainable Development Coordinator at Veranda Resorts, expressed profound pride in this accomplishment: “Obtaining Green Key certification for Veranda Grand Baie is a momentous achievement, as it completes the certification process for all hotels within Veranda Resorts. Our dedicated sustainability officers at each resort have worked tirelessly to elevate sustainability standards, and by participating in the Green Key program, we not only adhere to robust international standards but also ensure transparency and credibility in our actions for all stakeholders.”
In addition to achieving certification, Veranda Resorts has prioritized ongoing education and awareness-building efforts among its staff. Comprehensive training programs have been implemented to deepen understanding and integration of environmental and social considerations into daily operations.
Moving forward, Green Key certified hotels within the Veranda brand will undergo annual audits to ensure continued compliance with the rigorous criteria outlined by the ecolabel. These audits encompass a wide range of aspects, including environmental management practices and sustainable education initiatives tailored for staff, guests, and suppliers alike. By embracing the principles of sustainability and environmental stewardship, Veranda Resorts remains committed to providing guests with unforgettable experiences while contributing to a greener, more sustainable future for the hospitality industry.
