Kuramathi Maldives, a renowned island resort, has successfully renewed its Travelife Gold Certification, a globally recognized distinction that highlights its dedication to sustainable tourism practices. Travelife, an industry-led program, focuses on social responsibility and environmental management, aiming to promote sustainable practices among tour operators and accommodation providers.
The achievement of this prestigious certification underscores Kuramathi’s consistent efforts in aligning with corporate social responsibility (CSR) objectives. These initiatives include the preservation of biodiversity, the monitoring of marine ecosystems, the implementation of energy and water-saving measures, and active collaboration with the local community on education and employment programs. A significant aspect of Kuramathi’s approach is its commitment to employee welfare, ensuring fair wages, ethical working conditions, professional development opportunities, and adherence to health and safety standards.
Furthermore, the resort’s inclusive practices, such as providing equal employment opportunities and involving employees in sustainability efforts, foster a positive workplace culture. Employees share a sense of ownership and pride in the resort’s CSR initiatives, contributing to a cohesive and motivated team.
Central to these sustainability efforts is the Kuramathi Eco Centre, which is managed by a dedicated team comprising a Sustainability Manager, Horticulturist, and Eco Centre Coordinator. This team collaborates closely with the resort’s environment committee, which includes members from various operational areas, to implement initiatives that promote environmental, social, and economic sustainability. By minimizing environmental impacts, enhancing community benefits, and upholding human rights and fair labor practices, Kuramathi demonstrates a commitment to responsible tourism, seamlessly integrating growth with conservation.
