The Hotel SantaMarta has been awarded the Bioscore Sustainability Certificate with Level A as recognition of its ongoing commitment to sustainability. This responsibility is undertaken to provide a high-quality experience in an environment that respects the planet and the community, aiming to reduce environmental impact and promote responsible practices. This achievement serves as a motivation to continue advancing toward the goal of offering tourism that is mindful of its surroundings.
What is Bioscore?
For those who may not be familiar, Bioscore is a sustainability certification focused on the tourism industry that evaluates and recognizes responsible and sustainable practices. Through a series of rigorous criteria, Bioscore measures companies’ sustainability efforts across three main areas: environmental, social, and governance (ESG).
By implementing this system, hotels can contribute to environmental protection, improve their social responsibility practices, and operate with transparency and ethics.
Level A in Bioscore: Our commitment to sustainability
Achieving Level A in Bioscore demonstrates that Hotel SantaMarta has reached a high standard in key sustainability areas. The evaluation and certification were based on several fundamental factors:
- CO₂ emissions: There is a commitment to reducing the carbon footprint through initiatives such as the use of renewable energy, the optimization of facilities to reduce energy consumption, and the promotion of eco-friendly transport practices.
- Energy resources: Through modern and efficient technologies, energy consumption within the facilities is managed. In addition, low-consumption lighting and climate control systems, as well as the implementation of efficiency measures in all daily operations, also contribute to this goal.
- Water resources: This includes the implementation of practices to reduce water consumption, such as reuse systems and water-saving measures in rooms and common areas.
- Waste management: Through a waste management system that promotes recycling and waste reduction, environmental impact is minimized.
- Food and beverage services: In dining services, priority is given to local and seasonal ingredients, thereby supporting nearby producers and reducing the environmental impact associated with transportation.
- Social responsibility: Initiatives are promoted that benefit the local community, fostering the social and economic development of the region.
At Hotel SantaMarta, we understand that a sustainable tourism model is key for the future. We invite all our guests to join this commitment, enjoying a stay that is conscious and respectful of the environment.
