A first for the ABC islands

Become one of the first CSR-certified resorts on Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao

For the first time, resorts on the ABC islands can have their social responsibility certified via MVO Nederland. Kunuku Man Recycle supplies the figures and guides the process.

The basics

What is a CSR certificate?

CSR stands for Corporate Social Responsibility (in Dutch: MVO, Maatschappelijk Verantwoord Ondernemen). It means your organisation consciously takes responsibility for its impact on people, the environment and society: People, Planet, Profit. A certificate makes that commitment objective and demonstrable. The international guideline behind it is ISO 26000.

People

Good working conditions, local employment and involvement in the community around your resort.

Planet

Cans, glass and plastic bottles separated and recycled, more careful use of water and energy. Better for land and sea.

Profit

Sound business operations that create value for the island and for your resort, now and in the long term.

Via MVO Nederland

The sustainable business network of the Netherlands

MVO Nederland has more than 2,000 affiliated entrepreneurs. Those who join show they are part of the movement towards a sustainable economy and gain access to knowledge, tools, events and a community. For a formal, independently audited certificate there is also the MVO Prestatieladder (based on ISO 26000), which shows in five levels how far your organisation has come.

Guests choose consciously

More and more travellers choose a stay that is demonstrably sustainable. A certificate makes that visible.

Stand out

A fair, objective quality mark is a strong argument compared with other resorts on the island.

Proud staff

Employees like working for a resort that visibly takes responsibility for the island.

Ready for reporting

Your policy aligns with ISO 26000 and sustainability reporting. The figures come from the customer portal.
