Veranda Resorts, across Veranda Palmar Beach, Veranda Tamarin, Veranda Pointe aux Biches and Veranda Paul et Virginie, achieves another notable milestone by renewing its Green Key certification for the second consecutive year, demonstrating a prominent commitment to excellence in environmental responsibility and sustainable operations within the tourism industry.
Securing this certification for the second time demanded unwavering dedication and determination from the teams at all five Veranda hotels in Mauritius. The Green Key certification mirrors the group’s dedication to establishing an environmentally friendly, sustainable, and responsible business, aligning with Rogers Hospitality’s mandate and its Now for Tomorrow sustainability program.
Hotels displaying the Green Key eco-label highlight progress and initiatives across multiple facets, such as lowering water and energy consumption, integrating renewable energies and rainwater utilization, preventing waste, and promoting recycling, adopting sustainable food and mobility practices, implementing ecological maintenance, and conserving biodiversity. As a result, all hotels within the Veranda Resorts portfolio have undergone an independent audit to affirm their eligibility for this certification.
Preserving the environment requires recognizing the significance of every action, whether small or large, individual, or collective. The group prioritizes the advancement of sustainable tourism and has carefully reconsidered the type of tourism it aims to foster on the island — tourism that not only respects ecosystems and people but also generates positive impacts on surrounding communities.
Our commitment to making a positive environmental impact remains our top priority. Throughout the year, our operations team diligently puts various green initiatives into action. As we gear up for our next accomplishment, we are eager to continue our journey towards a more sustainable future.
Hotels with Green Key certification will undergo annual audits, ensuring adherence to the ecolabel’s stringent criteria in environmental management and sustainable education for staff, guests, and suppliers.
What is the Green Key Certification?
More than 25 years ago, the Green Key certification began as a national initiative in Denmark and has since become the world’s leading eco-label for accommodations. Businesses commit to meeting strict environmental criteria set by the Foundation for Environmental Education. Staying at a Green Key-certified establishment supports environmental and sustainability efforts, with rigorous standards upheld through documentation and audits.
The Green Key ecolabel establishes a benchmark for excellence in environmental responsibility and sustainable practices in the tourism industry. With over 4,700 certified establishments in 60+ countries, it ranks among the largest international ecolabels for tourism accommodations. Look for the Green Key logo to identify certified establishments.
