In 2008 Sol Meliá signed up to the United Nations Global Pact with a voluntary commitment to adopt and implement 10 fundamental principles related to human rights, the environment, labour regulations and the fight against corruption. Principle number 7 of the Global Pact states that companies must take preventative measures to protect the natural environment, and in 2009 Sol Meliá aims to implement this principle.
In 2009 we will retain all of our current environmental certifications and finalise the certification of 11 hotels currently working through the implementation process.
New owned and leased hotels will begin to take part in the SAVE project.
The information available on waste management in hotels and corporate offices will be consolidated.
