Six Senses Zighy Bay has received the highest level of certification after being audited by Control Union, accredited by the Global Sustainable Tourism Council.

 

The property underwent a thorough audit to verify its efforts in sustainability planning, reducing negative environmental impacts, enhancing cultural heritage, and maximising social and economic benefits for surrounding communities.

 

“GSTC Certification is a globally recognised benchmark for sustainability,” says Armand Thieblemont, Director of Sustainability at Six Senses Zighy Bay. “Earning this certification is a proud milestone for our property and the dedicated Sustainability Team, who continuously strive to deliver exceptional hospitality while maintaining an unwavering focus on responsible operations and meaningful engagement with our guests, colleagues, and the local community.”

 

The GSTC Certification is a respected seal of sustainable travel and tourism, offering an antidote to “greenwashing” in the hospitality industry.

 

The extensive certification criteria aim to give credibility to sustainability claims, ensuring they are both measurable and upheld through meaningful action.

 

Certification is based on third-party audits of hotels and corporate processes by accredited auditors and is granted for a period of three years, providing a continuous commitment to improvement and accountability. -TradeArabia News Service
