Happy To Care
Our vision
"This is the place to be happy; and now is the time to be happy…" But tomorrow has to be happy too. At Club Med, we know that our planet’s resources are not infinite. We are aware of the growing impact of tourism on the environment. We think that local communities ought to be able to benefit from our business. And we see how our employees (G.Os & G.Es) are looking for meaning in their work.
Actions
We are always trying to integrate our Resorts as much as possible into the landscape, especially by using local construction techniques. Preservation of vegetation is also 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.
