The I Resort Beach Hotel & Spa recognizes potential impacts to the environment associated with the operation of a hotel. In an effort to curtail these effects, our hotel is committed to implementing a policy that involves taking proactive measures to prevent pollution and conserve resources, while also maintaining quality services to our guests. We acknowledge the need for responsible and sustainable environmental management at all levels and will strive to incorporate good environmental practices into all of our decisions and operations.

In pursuit of this venture, we will evaluate all hotel activities and will seek to improve any that adversely affect the environment. We will seek to minimize waste and emissions that result from any such activities, all while conserving resources and improving energy efficiency. To ensure this policy materializes, ideally, it is necessary to encourage a sense of environmental responsibility among all employees, suppliers, subcontractors, and customers; this will be done via multiple training programs and subsequent compliance checks. This process will likewise include public display of information to customers and guests so as to educate them regarding the impact of our activities on the environment, as well as encourage them to assist us in achieving our goals.

We will comply with existing environmental legislation and will collaborate with authorities regarding environmental protection. We will also intend to discover novel methods of ameliorating the state of the environment. Performance will be monitored and reviewed regularly to fuel progress and constant improvement.
