GENERAL
Beaches Negril Beach Resort & Spa has been recognized for its environmental efforts by EarthCheck, a leading certification and benchmarking organization, which has rewarded the resort with a Platinum level certification. As a result of having consistently demonstrated its commitment to host communities and high standards of environmental care over a period of ten consecutive years, Beaches Negril has joined an elite number of organizations around the world in achieving the highest level of EarthCheck Certification.
“This achievement highlights the long term commitment that Sandals Resorts has shown to the communities and environment of the Caribbean,” explained EarthCheck CEO Stewart Moore. “They’re well ahead of most governments and industry players globally as a result of their efforts, and serve as a leader in the field of sustainable practices.”
