Responsible Business
Tunisia beach resort promotes Responsible Business
Taking responsibility for the environment and local community has been an important part of the broader commitment of the Rezidor Hotel Group to sustainable development for many years. In 2001, this commitment was fortified and placed within the scope of a programme called Responsible Business (RB). Each hotel has a unique RB Action Plan covering areas such as community outreach, environmental improvement, employee well-being, and health and safety.
The hotels are engaged with both local charity groups and the corporate international charity organisation of the Rezidor Hotel Group, the World Childhood Foundation. The mission of Childhood is to defend the rights of the child and to promote better living conditions for vulnerable and exploited children at risk all over the world.
Some of the Responsible Business activities of this green hotel in Tunisia include:
- Easy solutions for guests to sort waste and request towels
- Employee participitation in recycling of bottles, paper and oils
- Member of the Tunisian eco-label project
- Participating in the local cleaning campaign
- Providing information to hotel guests on the effects of environmental pollution
