Sustainability

Our sustainability model is a key benchmark for value creation within our business strategy. It guides our daily efforts toward economic prosperity that promotes the well-being of our Arteleros and the communities we serve, while also contributing to environmental conservation.

Through our brand ATELIER de Hoteles, we have joined the United Nations Global Compact, the world’s largest sustainability initiative, committing to align our operations with the Ten universally accepted Principles in the areas of Human Rights, Labor Standards, Environment, and Anti-Corruption, as well as to support the United Nations goals currently embodied in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Sustainability Policy

At GrupoBD, we promote an ethical and sustainable management approach across all our business units. Our Sustainability Policy is grounded in solid principles and commitments that guide our actions toward responsible social and environmental practices.

Guided by internationally recognized standards, we work tirelessly to protect and preserve the environment and the communities in which we operate.

Our dedication spans multiple areas, including environmental sustainability through the implementation of responsible practices, the promotion of energy efficiency, and the proper management of waste and water resources. Additionally, we strive to create safe and healthy work environments, uphold Human Rights, and encourage philanthropic initiatives among our collaborators.

We drive Sustainable Development through our distinctive Eco-Social Awareness® pillar. Accordingly, we place strong emphasis on comprehensive initiatives that support and create community programs, donations, material collection for foundations, educational programs for Arteleros and their children, beach cleanups, among other initiatives.

To ensure proper compliance and rigorous follow-up, we rely on the Executive Committee, whose role is to oversee the integration of ESG criteria—Environmental, Social, and Governance—into our business strategy.

We invite you to join us on this meaningful sustainability journey. Together, we will build a better world for present and future generations.

Thank you for being part of an Eco-Social future with GrupoBD!

The Code

Our hotel operator, ADH – ATELIER de Hoteles, is part of The Code, an initiative driven by the tourism industry to raise awareness and provide tools to prevent the sexual exploitation and trafficking of children and adolescents. Through this program, we establish actions and protocols that help us identify potential victims of abuse within our resorts.

CONSERVATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT

Beach Cleanups

ATELIER Playa Mujeres is a resort committed to environmental protection and sustainable development and has been awarded the Blue Flag certification, an international distinction that recognizes beaches meeting strict environmental criteria, including Environmental Education and Information, Water Quality, Environmental Management, Safety, and Services.

We work to raise awareness among our guests and Arteleros regarding beach care. On a monthly basis, through ADH – ATELIER de Hoteles, we conduct cleanup initiatives aimed at fostering a profitable and responsible tourism model that supports ocean conservation.

Marine Turtle Protection

Our resort ÓLEO Cancún Playa is located in a preferred nesting area for marine turtles. For this reason, it participates in the Marine Turtle Protection and Conservation Program, in collaboration with the General Directorate of Ecology of Benito Juárez, Quintana Roo, and under the guidelines of the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (SEMARNAT).
