• The hotel chain is also the third in the world to receive ISO 21401 certification for working in alignment with the United Nations' 17 SDGs
• Victoria López, President of Grupo Fedola, understands that “sustainability is the path to follow in the tourism sector as a profitable and necessary strategy”
• The hotel group reduces CO2 by 20 tons and exceeds the target set for next year in its 2018-2020 Sustainability Strategic Plan
GF Hoteles is the first hotel chain in Europe and the third in the world to obtain the ISO 21401:2019 certification for meeting the environmental, social, and economic requirements of the sustainability management system for tourist accommodation. This regulation guarantees that the hotel group works in alignment with the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
Victoria López, President of Grupo Fedola, states that this certification “is a challenge met that reinforces the desire and commitment to fulfill the sustainable development goals.” López understands that “this is the path to follow in the tourism sector and that sustainability is an investment, but it is also a profitable and necessary strategy.”
For his part, Juan Carlos De León, Director of Operations at GF Hoteles, highlights that this certification “is the result of many years of work and investment when being sustainable was not mandatory.”
The hotel group sees sustainability as a competitive priority and feels responsible not only for its economic profitability but also for the carbon footprint generated by its suppliers. “The determining factor when choosing has been the price-quality ratio and, from now on, it will also be how sustainable it is and how it influences our activity,” explains De León.
In the words of the South and Canary Islands Regional Director of Bureau Veritas, Francisco Martín Santamaría, “GF Hoteles is a pioneer in obtaining the ISO 21401 certification as a result of the involvement of the entire organization.”
The chain, owned by Grupo Fedola, ratifies its continuous commitment to sustainability and reduced 20 tons of plastic in 2019, which is equivalent to 71 tons of CO2. A resounding result resulting from various actions that are part of the Strategic Sustainability Plan.
The 2018 - 2020 Strategic Plan, a sustainable commitment
Adapting its services to be more sustainable is one of the premises of the hotel chain's 2018 - 2020 Strategic Plan. For this reason, it has gradually replaced the consumption of plastic bottles with aluminum ones for guests and employees, and plastic wristbands have been replaced with fabric ones. In addition, water bottles are now made of glass or cardboard, straws are made of a compostable recyclable material, cutlery is made of a material derived from corn, and plastic cups have been replaced by reusable cups.
Changes have also been applied to the buffet service with the incorporation of butter, jam, and honey dispensers. An action that eliminates more than 1 million plastic containers per year.
Likewise, work is being done to reduce water consumption through actions such as changing aerators and committing to intelligent irrigation in gardens. The implementation of the laundry facility is another example of energy efficiency that offers greater control of processes and provides service to the chain's four hotels in Costa Adeje. “In 2012, 21 liters of water were needed for every kilo of laundry, and with this installation, consumption has been reduced by more than 50%,” highlights Juan Carlos De León.
