Princess Hotels Caribe Corporate Social Responsibility

Princess Hotels Caribe works towards developing its Corporate Social Responsibility on a daily basis. Princess Hotels Caribe Corporate Social Responsibility commitment revolves around the “Princess and You 360º sustainable” Project. The project shares values with those who have experiences with Princess Hotels, and its stakeholders are:

• Our customers
• Princess Hotels staff
• Partners
• Surroundings

It strives for a positive contribution to the environment, listening in order to improve and actively participate in change. The 360º project is a virtuous cycle comprising the surroundings, the environment, social responsibility and service. We put the customer at the core of the project, as without them it would not be possible to move forward with the project and its aim to make the world a slightly better place.

The development programme promotes the integration of sustainable practices throughout the business model. The plan is cross-disciplinary and facilitates continual improvement in the fields of both ethics and business. Princess Hotels’ CSR is fully integrated in the company’s vision and that’s why its implementation is successful:

• Improving the planet: we work to contribute positively to the planet and are concerned about water usage and energy consumption.
• Environment: we carry out activities that help to improve our surroundings, both in the hotel and outside. Some of the programmes are based on areas such as waste management and energy saving.
• Socially responsible: integrity is the key value in our social actions and we actively work with non-profit organisations.
• Service: we look for excellent service that is clearly customer-orientated: select cuisine, local and seasonal produce, in addition to fair trade.
• We listen in order to improve: we are a cultural space that’s open to the world. We look for forums of discussion to ensure that we keep on learning continuously.
