Tourism is one of the driving forces of global economic growth. By promoting fair work in the tourism industry, various groups are benefiting from this economic growth. We focus our policy on promoting sustainable tourism that creates jobs and supports and preserves local culture and production. That is how we introduced the Corendon Academy. A training and education program, at home and abroad, for young adults from the age of 18 who get work opportunities within our hotels, trained by our own people.
Give back to the future
Our Mission
We’re all traveling the world. New places are being discovered, and the possibilities seem endless. A relaxing stay, far away or close to home, is becoming increasingly accessible for many. For the hotel industry, this means not only creating unforgettable experiences but also taking responsibility. Because while travel is enriching, it also leaves its mark: on the environment, on local communities, and on the destination as a whole.
At Corendon Hotels & Resorts, we believe that true hospitality goes beyond comfort and service. It also means caring for our planet, our people, and our communities. Our mission is to create hotel stays that contribute to local development, environmental conservation, and awareness among guests and employees. How do we do that? You can read all about it here.
Our Approach
Our sustainability policy is based on three core principles, derived from the Double Materiality Assessment (DMA) and in preparation for the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD):
1. Strengthening Local Communities
We support local economies by collaborating with regional suppliers, facilitating cultural initiatives, and offering equitable opportunities to our employees. Some examples include:
- Employee training programs
- Partnerships with local entrepreneurs
- Diversity and inclusion in the workplace
2. Towards a climate-neutral future
We are committed to lower CO₂ emissions by using energy-efficient technologies, purchasing green energy, and implementing smart building management systems. Curious how we do this? Read more here.
3. Circular Economy and Waste Reduction
We minimize our environmental impact by reducing waste, measuring food waste, and eliminating microplastics. A list of initiatives rolled out at several of our hotels:
- Replacing individual packaging with bulk packaging for breakfast products, which reduces waste
- Orbisk monitoring to combat food waste
- Promoting tap water instead of plastic bottles
- Plastic glasses have been replaced by glass and crockery in the rooms
- Old hotel uniforms have been repurposed at schools in Gambia

We do this by committing ourselves to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
By integrating the so-called SDGs into our sustainability strategy, we actively contribute to a better and more sustainable future for everyone from our core activities.
At Corendon Hotels & Resorts, we focus on the following SDGs
Fair work and economic growth
Responsible consumption and production
Climate Action
Life below water
Life on land
Together towards a better future
At Corendon Hotels & Resorts, we look ahead. Sustainability isn’t a final destination for us, but a continuous journey where innovation is central. We continue to search for innovative solutions that contribute to a smaller ecological footprint, a healthier living environment, and a future-proof hotel experience. That’s why we share our strategy with guests, partners, and employees to contribute to a sustainable future where hotel experience and care for the planet go hand in hand.
