May 14, 2012

OBM International said today [May 14] that Rosewood Tucker’s Point Hotel & Spa has received its Green Globe Certification, and in doing so, is the first resort property in Bermuda to be recognized in this way.

The Green Globe Certification is an international, structured assessment of the sustainability performance of travel and tourism businesses and their supply chain partners.

Businesses can monitor improvements and document achievements leading to certification of their enterprises’ sustainable operation and management.

Said Kevin Lanthier, Vice President Facilities Management at Rosewood Tucker’s Point, “This Certification further reinforces Rosewood Hotels commitment to be the best that it can be, not only for its guests, but for the environments and communities in which we operate.”

“We are most pleased to have worked with OBM International in achieving this global standard and being the first in Bermuda to do so.”

To qualify for certification, businesses must address a collection of 337 compliance indicators, applied to 41 individual sustainability criteria. The applicable indicators vary by type of certification, geographical area as well as local factors.

Key factors that are focused on are:

  • Sustainable Management
  • Social/Economic
  • Cultural Heritage
  • Environmental

Denaye Hinds, Director of Sustainability at OBM International said, “We are extremely proud to have worked with Rosewood Tucker’s Point to achieve this certification.

“We feel it sets a new standard for other resort properties in Bermuda to achieve. And, as a Green Globe Accredited Auditor, it demonstrates the dedication of OBMI to sustainable operations and management.”
