It’s great that Sandals Resorts strives to integrate with the beautiful surrounding environment to provide us with luxury accommodations intertwined with natural Caribbean backdrops. How do they do it? They are committed to sustainability and the art of harmonizing with nature, making Sandals one of the premier eco-friendly Caribbean resorts.
Sandals Strives to Protect the Pristine Caribbean Environment
The resorts are true stewards of the islands they proudly call home, dedicated to building, maintaining, and operating their properties in perfect balance with nature. This means the resorts are intentionally designed to blend seamlessly with the environment, minimizing disruption to both plants and animals nearby. This includes everything from sea animals like turtles, dolphins, fish, and stingrays, to land animals like birds, lizards, mongooses, cats, and even butterflies. Through these sustainable resort practices, Sandals helps preserve the stunning landscapes and vibrant wildlife that make the Caribbean a true paradise for travelers seeking sustainable luxury travel experiences.
Sandals Supports Local Caribbean Businesses, Farmers, and Fishing Partners
At each Sandals Resort, there is a true effort to work closely with local suppliers who share their commitment to corporate social responsibility and reducing environmental impact. This approach helps boost the local economy while promoting responsible tourism.
- An average of 56% of Sandals Resorts’ produce needs are purchased directly from local farmers.
- An average of 59% of Sandals Resorts’ seafood sourcing is from local fishermen.
- In Jamaica alone, 90% of Sandals Resorts’ produce is harvested and purchased from local farmers, totaling over 5.4 million pounds of fresh produce annually.
By prioritizing local sourcing in the Caribbean, Sandals ensures fresher ingredients for guests while supporting sustainable agricultural and fishing practices.
Greener Items, Greener Luxury at Sandals
Sandals also focuses on reducing waste by using recyclable items and promoting sustainability initiatives throughout their resorts. For a company that accommodates hundreds of thousands of guests every year, these steps represent meaningful progress toward promoting environmentalism within the travel and hospitality industry.
