TURISMO ENVIRONMETAL POLICY |
|
SONAE TURISMO is committed to environmental protection
as an integral part of the company’s activities.
SONAE TURISMO firmly believes that environmental quality makes tourist destinations
stand out above the rest. Consequently, a destination’s environmental
assets may give it a strong competitive edge and be turned into tourist products
and services.
SONAE TURISMO is committed to eco-efficient management
based on three key factors: ongoing improvement
of the environmental performance of its activities
and services; compliance with applicable environmental
legislation and regulations; and preventing pollution
and other forms of environmental deterioration
by applying the best techniques available.
SONAE TURISMO will assess its environmental performance
on a regular basis and periodically disclose the
results.
SONAE TURISMO will cooperate with outside entities
in the defence of environmental values and, in
particular, will cooperate with governmental and
non-governmental organisations, town councils and
the general public.
SONAE TURISMO will provide environmental awareness
and training sessions for its collaborators and
clients whilst encouraging their participation.
Environmental performance will be regarded as a
prerequisite in the management of suppliers and
other contracted parties.
SONAE TURISMO will implement environmental management
systems that guarantee compliance with the Environmental
Policy,

Environment has been considered of major importance in the several business areas of Sonae Turismo. Eco-efficient measures have been implemented in the hotel units, although at the resort development area is where environmental measures are more relevant and have assumed a determinant roll.
Since the beginning the environmental quality of the Troiaresort project was a prior goal. Sonae Turismo assumed from the first stage that environment was definitely a central issue. Not only to fulfil the legal requirements but mostly to accomplish environmental excellence as a competitive advantage. Environmental heritage was identified as a source to create value, capable of developing news opportunities and touritic products. The Environmental System Management certificated in 2005, by SGS, for the project, construction and management of the Troiaresort, is the result of this strategic decision. |
