This award recognizes our strong commitment to sustainability, our innovative initiatives and the significant progress we have made towards a greener and more responsible future.
The aim of these awards is to shine a spotlight on and congratulate companies that are actively contributing to sustainability and eco-consciousness through their businesses, while also serving as a source of encouragement and inspiration for other businesses in the industry.
The Judges highlighted our roadmap to achieve zero waste by 2025 and carbon neutrality by 2030. Additionally, our commitment to ensuring a 100% of responsible supply of seafood sourcing by 2025 was also cited as a highlight in our pledge. These goals represent not just ambitions, but tangible actions taken to redefine the role of the hospitality sector in creating a more sustainable world for all of us.
At Iberostar, we are proud to be part of this incredible journey towards a more sustainable future. The company’s recent success at the Marie Claire UK Sustainability Awards 2023 is a testament to the shared commitment of our employees and partners around the world, and we will continue to do so.

The commitment to the circular economy, waste reduction, carbon neutrality and responsible seafood sourcing inspires us all and will hopefully inspire the rest of the tourism business in the next few years.
Our dedication to sustainability also extends beyond our hotels. By partnering with organizations such as the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, UNWTO (United Nations World Tourism Organization) and UNEP (United Nations Environment Programme). By joining global initiatives such as the Global Initiative on Plastics in Tourism and the Glasgow Declaration, we demonstrate our commitment to making a difference on a global scale in this sector.
As we look ahead, we're excited to continue our journey towards a more sustainable future, pioneering in the realm of eco-conscious hospitality, and inspiring others in the industry to follow suit. Our goal is to make the sustainable choice the easy choice for both our guests and fellow companies. Working together, we can create a future where luxury and responsibility go hand in hand.
