Fuerte Group Hotels and the environment, an initiative created in Cádiz:

Fuerte Group Hotels is one of the Spanish hotel chains that is most dedicated to sustainable tourism, reflected in its joining the Spanish Network for the United Nations Global Compact, the world’s largest Sustainable Development and Corporate Responsibility initiative, this year. As part of this initiative, 13,000 businesses have committed to a better world in which poverty is a thing of the past, in which prosperity is a reality and in which the planet’s health is conscientiously preserved.

However, the commitment of the Marbella-based group to the environment dates back many years, specifically to 1999, when the chain incorporated its first hotel in Cadiz, the Spanish province that has achieved tourism development in the most sustainable way. And so, following the inclusion of Fuerte Conil Costa Luz into its portfolio, Fuerte Group Hotels immersed itself in the world of sustainability and implemented a sustainable management model that encompassed all business areas.

The initiative to be held on 7 October to clean Playa de La Fontanilla is just another example of this dedication and specifically of the commitment of Fuerte Group Hotels to the Sustainable Development Goal following its membership of the Global Compact. As a result, it seeks to facilitate the fulfilment of Goal 13 “Climate Action”.
