Considering the Sandals Earth Guard Corporate Sustainability Policy of Sandals Resorts International, and the natural, social and cultural setting in which we operate; Sandals Grenada is committed to achieving environmental and social sustainability.

Sandals Grenada is a luxury all-inclusive resort situated over 17 acres at the southern- most tip of Grenada, at the end of the island’s traditional resort belt in the parish of St. George. The resort is located along the Pink Gin beach, with 257 rooms and suites in 4 main villages; 50 fresh water pools and 29 hot tubs; 10 restaurants; watersports and land sports, and meeting and conference facilities.

Given the location and features of the resort we recognize the potential to negatively impact the flora and fauna of the fragile ecosystems around us and so safer and sustainable practices are part of our core values and policies. Sandals Grenada is engaged in a range of sustainability initiatives: including energy, water, and waste and ecosystem management. Sandals Grenada utilizes a variety of technologies at every turn to minimize use of our precious resources, such as aerators in faucets, low flush toilets, potable water recycling and laundry water recycling on site, daily.

In addition, energy conservation technologies have been implemented such as the installation of an energy management system in guest rooms equipped with smart thermostat and motion sensor. Moreover, food waste has been donated to livestock farmers and discarded linen donated to individuals and institutions.

During the last year, various species of animals have been frequently observed on resort including iguana, manicou (maroon opussum), ramier (scaley-naped pigeon), egret, green herron, osprey, yellow breasted bananaquit and common gallinule.

Over the next 12 months, the resort aims to further reduce its impact on the environment by diverting solid waste from the country’s landfill by boosting our recycling program. Plastic bottles, aluminum cans, cardboard and liquor bottles will be collected and sorted for recycling, in addition to donating the shredded paper to local funeral homes and donating food waste to local farmers to be reused as animal feed. Strategic partnerships are being forged with our local bottled water supplier as well as suppliers of other single use plastic products by incorporating waste separation bins to the front of house and back of house departments. Further, we have made a commitment to conduct monthly coastal cleanup drives to mitigate against plastic pollution in the marine environment and raise awareness throughout the island.

Another key focus will be to protect against potentially hazardous chemical pollution of the land and oceans through re-sensitization of team members to chemical use, storage and disposal.
The resort will comply with all relevant legislation and regulations and strive to achieve international best practices.

Sandals Grenada has appointed the Environment, Health and Safety Manager as the Sustainability Champion, who has the responsibility, experience and skills for securing sustainability performance.

Special consideration will be given to employing and empowering local employees through our investment in training and development, driven by the Sandals Corporate University, and wherever possible environmentally sustainable products and services will be locally sourced.

We are committed to our local community, manifested in continuous outreach efforts by the resort and the Sandals Foundation. Sandals Grenada encourages its team members to volunteer and participate in our sustainability efforts on resort and in our surrounding communities.

The resort seeks to maintain our benched marked/certified status under the EarthCheck programme, through involving our guests, suppliers and other stakeholders.
