Palladium Hotel Group supports numerous measures to minimise its environmental impact, fight climate change and boost sustainable development. To achieve this, we encourage several initiatives involving customers, staff members, suppliers, and the local community.
THE PRINCIPLES OF PALLADIUM CARES FOR OUR PLANET:
With a focus on conservation and the importance of using renewable energy in operations, Grand Palladium Jamaica built the largest solar photovoltaic system in 2014 generating 1.6MV of electricity. The solar plant was expanded in 2019 with an additional 1MW of capacity and currently generates more than 2.6 MW of power. The plant is estimated to produce 2,200,000 kWh of electricity per year, 15% of the hotel's energy consumption.
The Agricultural Production Centre project in Imbassaí aims to broaden the environmental cultural vision in the region, providing the community with courses on environmental education, meliponiculture (the breeding and management of native stingless bees) and sustainability to optimise production and care for the planet at the same time.
Jamaica’s turtles and waters are protected by the “Wildlife Protection Law of 1972”. From May to December, turtles, which are in danger of extinction, come onto the beaches to lay their eggs, particularly on the Las Brisas beach. During the nesting season, Palladium Hotel Group carries out activities to identify and protect the nests and help release these animals.
Grand Palladium Hotels & Resorts in Jamaica has partnered up with the Lucea Fishermen’s Association (LFA) and the World Tourism Organisation (WTO) to create a protected marine area within the grounds of the resort. This initiative seeks to avoid overfishing, preserve natural resources, and generate employment opportunities. The Lucea Fish Sanctuary has joined the other 17 fish sanctuaries currently operating on the island to protect Jamaica’s marine flora and fauna.
Started by the WWF and its partners as a symbolic event to switch off the lights in Sydney in 2007, Earth Hour has become one of the most popular global pro-environmental movements. Millions of participants in more than 190 countries and territories switch off their lights to show their support for our planet. Several hotels in our group take part in this event to raise awareness about sustainability and the environment.
Palladium Hotel Group makes constant efforts to take care of our planet. For this reason, all our hotels organise beach cleaning and maintenance activities.
Since 2012, Grand Palladium Kantenah Resort & Spa has managed the operation and set up of a turtle camp during the nesting season. The operation of the turtle camp involves spawning inspection and monitoring, and subsequent relocation out of the reach of predators.
In Costa Mujeres, flora and fauna monitoring is carried out every year throughout the property by external specialists, in order to report on the environmental conditions of the ecosystem. The distribution and abundance of various animal and plant species are used as indicators.
The conservation of the biodiversity of the various ecosystems present in our hotels in the Riviera Maya is a primary objective, which is why we implement a monitoring program for the mangrove forest on property, to ensure its preservation.
