All our destinations joined in the cause, with both awareness-raising efforts and direct contributions

This was a day when we all came together to preserve the environment. All our destinations contributed through a range of different activities, demonstrating our commitment to society and the environment.

Dr Environment, together with the two consciences, kickstarted our efforts at head office…

We are quite sure that amid all the jokes and laughter the message got through loud and clear: #BeatPlasticPollution.

Here is Dr Environment's visit. Don't miss it!

In Samaná…

Our colleagues got stuck in…

Colleagues and clients in the northern region of the Dominican Republic joined forces to celebrate this World Environment Day.

The event involved all the companies of the Piñero Group, local schools, workers from the Whales Museum, the Samaná Local Council and Tourism Cluster and others.

Two simultaneous events were staged in Samaná to mark the occasion. Experts in sustainability and environmental issues were invited to the first, to give addresses about the impact of plastic on the ecosystem. These talks were held at the hotel owned by the chain, Grand Bahia Principe Cayacoa, in partnership with the Ministry of Tourism, the provincial Tourism Cluster and other institutions.

The second event was a plastic collection day throughout the Samaná wharf area headed by Jatnna Tavárez, involving a great many people committed to the cause, who collected 2,228 pounds of material.

These events form part of our Corporate Social Responsibility Strategy, established with the aim of reducing the environmental impact of our activities and helping to preserve biodiversity at those destinations where we have a presence.

All of which is, of course, a shining example of our commitment to environmental preservation

All the destinations staged a range of activities to benefit our environment. Under the slogan "Beat Plastic Pollution", the Human Resources Department set up collection teams to gather together the plastic waste generated at the hotels.

Meanwhile, the Entertainment Department invited guests to take stock of the importance of using recycled products so as to make the most of waste materials, with such initiatives managing to reduce water consumption per stay, consume less energy per guest, and/or recover some 400 tonnes of plastic.

As a goal for the year 2020, the Piñero Group has committed to eliminating disposable plastic at all our business units.
