SOCIAL GOVERNANCE, ENVIRONMENTAL AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE. IS PART OF OUR DNA!
IN EVERY ACTION: RESPECT, CONSISTENCY AND COLLABORATION.
ESG, an imperative concept for the present of any company and indispensable for the future. It has been present since the founding of the Royal Palm Hotels & Resorts Group, a legacy of our founder Armindo Dias, who taught us the value of management concerned with ethics, transparency and social and environmental responsibility.
For more than 10 years, we have published a balance sheet with actions in the institutional field, related to local society and the environment. Each year, we renew this commitment with consistent and respectful initiatives.Would you like to see them all? Download our report from the button below:
