Playa Goes Green

It’s official, Playa has gone green.

Green Globe that is!

All of Playa Hotels & Resorts Properties are completely Green Globe certified as of this month. What does this mean you may ask? Let me explain!

The Green Globe Certification, known for sustainable tourism, is only available to organizations committed to having a positive impact both on a local and global level. To ensure the credibility and integrity of the company, the certification process is a rigorous one and requires dedication on the behalf of all employees involved.

The certification criteria are organized into four key themes: Sustainable Management, Social/Economic, Cultural Heritage and Environment and is broken down into four phases: Standards, Solutions, Audit and Certification. The audit is done by a third party to ensure that the property is complying with the organization’s standards for Travel & Tourism. While the purpose of Green Globe is to integrate sustainability protocols into daily resort
operations.

If you have been to one of our properties lately you will have likely have seen many improvements in becoming greener. Everything from not giving out plastic straws unless they are requested to having educational turtle releases during turtle season. All of these different initiatives have allowed for the properties to become Green by not only bettering themselves but also the environment that is surrounding them.
