Our Sustainability Programs
Environmental Programs
Certification for
Sustainable Tourism
I t
is a program of the Costa Rican Tourism Institute (ICT) proposed to
categorize and certify tourism companies based on the degree to
which their operation complies with a sustainable model of natural,
cultural and social resource management. Four key areas are
evaluated.
1. Physical-biological
Evaluates the interaction between the company and its surrounding
natural environment, creates interest in the implementation of
policies and sustainability programs, environmental protection,
among others.
2. Plant service
Evaluates aspects related to internal systems and processes of
the company, in terms of waste management and the usage of
technologies for saving water and electricity.
3. Customer
Evaluates the actions established by management to invite
customers to participate in the implementation of the company `s
sustainability policies.
4. Socioeconomic environment
Evaluates the identification and interaction of the establishment
with adjacent communities, analyzing for instance the degree to
which tourism businesses respond to growth and development of the
region through the creation of employment or the achievement of
benefits in favor of the collective.
Environmental
Committee
T he
Best Western Irazú Hotel and Best Western Jacó Beach Resort
contemplate the environmental impact of our present and future
activities and take steps to reduce resource use, thereby decreasing
the unwanted impact on our operations and to those of companies that
contribute to our work, participating in joint campaigns with our
employees and guests:
• Waste management: To a certain extent the Hotels
purchase biodegradable, returnable, recycled or recyclable products.
Apart from that our hotels have a management plan for solid waste
that increases recycled material and minimizes waste.
• Use of energy: Both hotels are committed to
reducing electricity consumption, the use of sunlight and the
incorporation of all available technology to avoid unnecessary
expense.
• Constant inspections of leaks and campaigns to prevent the
waste of this precious liquid.
•
Transport: Right use of energy, unnecessary
fuel consumption, exhaust fumes and noise are taken into
consideration when hiring transportation services.
•
Protection of National Heritage: We seek to reduce the impact
that our guests have on wildlife protected areas and different sites
by informing them on how to walk through protected areas, avoiding
the impact on flora, fauna and landscape; and respecting the
vulnerability of those ecosystems.
Furthermore, protect local cultures and values and support the
efforts of conservation and development. As part of its work, Our
Hotel is committed to activities that promote human development for
the communities we visit, using environmental resources optimally
and efficiently while maintaining essential ecological processes and
helping to conserve natural resources and biodiversity of the
environment in which we develop our activities.
