We know that our seas and oceans are essential to the planet. As well as being the source of most of the oxygen we breathe, they provide us with ma- terials and food and are the source of numerous economic activities. At Iberostar Group, which has more than 80% of our hotels on the seafront, we have always had a policy of responsible and sustainable manage- ment in the environments in which we operate, because we understand the valuable and priceless exchange of resources provided by the seas and oceans. Since 2017, we have implemented a series of initiatives that promote the improvement of ocean health, which, in 2019 came to fruition with the launch of the movement we’ve named Wave of Change, which represents an essential pillar in the Group’s management. Wave of Change is mainly intended to contri- bute to the achievement of Goal 14 of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (“Life Below Water: conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development”). It was born out of a desire to unite employees, guests, service providers and society as a whole in the common effort to create tourism that is ever more responsible.
