Taking care of the planet

Our commitment to the environment

At MedPlaya, we have an environmental policy designed in alignment with our mission to care for the planet. To fulfil this vision, we have implemented measures aimed at significantly reducing our environmental impact.

Firstly, we have taken concrete actions, such as optimizing energy and water usage in our hotels, striving for efficiency and the reduction of unnecessary consumption. Additionally, we have worked on waste minimization, adopting eco-friendly practices that go beyond conventional regulations.

However, our environmental policy extends beyond operational actions; it encompasses a commitment to education and awareness. We believe in the importance of spreading the message of sustainability among our guests and employees. This approach reflects our conviction that true sustainability is intertwined with awareness and collective action.

MedPlaya's journey towards sustainable tourism

Energy sustainability

At MedPlaya, we are determined to lead the way towards energy sustainability. That's why we have made a significant investment in installing solar panels in several of our hotels. This investment not only demonstrates our steadfast dedication to energy efficiency, but also our commitment to using renewable energy sources. We are determined to reduce our carbon footprint and contribute to a cleaner and more sustainable world.

Plastic and waste reduction

Reducing plastics and waste is a priority for us. We strive to minimize the use of single-use plastics and promote environmentally-friendly practices in our hotels. This commitment goes beyond environmental concern; it reflects our strong purpose to keep the destinations where we operate clean and healthy.

Environmental initiatives

At MedPlaya, we don't settle for the conventional. We strive to be pioneers and innovators in the field of sustainability. Projects like "Agua KM0" to reduce plastic usage and "Winnow" to reduce and monitor food waste using artificial intelligence reflect our commitment to pushing boundaries and contributing positively to the community and the environment. These initiatives mirror our long-term vision and profound social responsibility.

Together for a greener planet

As a hotel group, we actively promote environmental awareness among our customers and take concrete steps to care for the planet. We encourage our guests to reduce their ecological footprint by promoting sustainable practices such as reducing plastic consumption, using public transportation, and offering bike rental services. We are committed to contributing to a more sustainable world and inspiring our customers to join this cause.

Social development and conservation of culture and nature

On a national or international level, our efforts are directed towards aiding disasters, poverty, or childhood issues, partnering with exemplary organizations such as Caritas and the Red Cross. Additionally, we also contribute to projects aimed at the training and employment of people with disabilities or at risk of social exclusion.

#RefillTheFuture amb MedPlaya Hotels

We say goodbye to plastic bottles

MedPlaya Hotels, in collaboration with Agua KMZero, has implemented water filtration and purification system installations as a step towards more sustainable tourism. These systems remove impurities and provide fresh, drinkable water at all times, thus reducing the need for disposable plastic bottles.

By adopting this initiative, MedPlaya Hotels significantly reduces the amount of plastic waste generated by bottled water consumption, thus contributing to environmental protection.

This sustainable approach not only benefits the environment but also enhances guest experience by providing easy and convenient access to high-quality water without the need for plastic waste generation. In summary, the system implemented by MedPlaya Hotels in collaboration with Agua KMZero represents a significant step towards sustainability in the tourism sector.
