Providing access to unspoilt natural landscapes and their benefits is at the very origin of Club Med. So protecting biodiversity is naturally part of our DNA.
We are always trying to integrate our Resorts as much as possible into the landscape, especially by using local construction techniques. For example, Our Cefalù Resort, illustrated in this photo, received an award at MIPIM for its construction.
Preservation of vegetation is a priority in our Resorts. All over the world we opt for natural or soft landscaped spaces, and less than 10% of the total surface area of our sites has hard landscaping.
We have established partnerships with local environmental associations in more than 20 Resorts around the world.
The Palmyre Atlantique Resort has a partnership with the Bird Protection League for example.
Club Med’s commitment to sustainable tourism is built on solid foundations awarded by recognised international certification bodies:
§ 100% of the construction of our new resorts or major renovations has been BREEAM eco-certified (or equivalent) since 2019
§ 46 Resorts certified Green Globe for their sustainable management (87%)
§ Ecoleader label by TripAdvisor® awarded to over 20 resorts
§ Discovery Tours by Club Med certified as ATR (Act for Responsible Tourism) since 2017
A remarkable performance for a group that is one of the lowest generators of avoidable waste.
Among our best practices:
•** Excursions:**
From 2021, Club Med will no longer offer circus activities, elephant rides or swimming with dolphins nor observation of whales, dolphins and porpoises in captivity. We have been supporting our service providers in best practices in this area with the WCA (World Cetacean Alliance).
**
• “Free-range” eggs:**
Club Med is committed to sourcing 100% of eggs from hens raised out of cage in its Resorts in Europe, Brazil and the United States by 2025, and in other markets by 2027. In 2022, 49% of eggs (shell liquid and ingredient) purchased by all Club Med locations around the world come from cage-free sources, including 100% of whole eggs in Europe in particular.
This commitment is part of Club Med's purchasing policy, which states that all purchased products must meet the company's requirements for hygiene and health and safety.
As they are immersed into an exceptional setting, our G.Ms are naturally more sensitive about protecting the environment. This is a prime position for educating young and old alike...
In order to raise awareness and learn how to protect the coral reefs of the Maldives archipelago, a coral relocation program has been set up. Participatory workshops allow young and old to learn how coral develops and how to protect it.
