Club Med, a leading provider of premium all-inclusive holiday experiences, has taken a significant step towards promoting environmental sustainability by becoming a member of the Sustainable Hospitality Alliance. This partnership underscores Club Med's commitment to fostering sustainability in the hospitality sector and contributing to global efforts for a more environmentally conscious future.

The Sustainable Hospitality Alliance is a global consortium comprising over 50,000 properties and 7 million rooms, dedicated to addressing key challenges affecting the planet and its people. By leveraging Club Med's expertise in sustainable development and innovation, the Alliance aims to advance its mission of creating a responsible and prosperous hospitality sector.

Club Med's longstanding commitment to sustainability is evident in its track record of adopting environmentally friendly practices. With 70% of new or renovated resorts since 2018 built to globally recognized BREEAM standards and many resorts certified under the "Green Globe" program, Club Med prioritizes sustainability in its operations.

The “Bye Bye Plastic” program, which aims to eliminate single-use plastic from Club Med resorts, exemplifies the company’s dedication to environmental stewardship. This initiative aligns with Club Med's vision of providing harmonious and nature-immersed experiences for travelers while minimizing its ecological footprint.
