For a sustainable development, meeting current needs may not compromise the needs of future generations. With this encouragement, we incorporate to our Standards and Procedures the Environmental Code of Ethics and Conduct (click to view code) that we have developed for this Association, applicable to the entire hospitality industry, available in its entirety at the link below, with the following guidelines:
To ensure the support and participation of mayor partners and administrators in the implementation of environmental practices and engage in the program all parties that provide services to the enterprise, as well as their families.

To avoid waste and reduce water consumption by checking the existence of leaks, collecting and, when possible, rainwater, looking using showers, valves and equipment that enable better control and reduce its needs.
To adopt the three Rs of environmental awareness: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle.
