Sustainable construction.

Verdelago Resort is a project with low constructive density (8.7%), where all options consider a positive environmental, social, cultural and economic management. Verdelago is the first tourist resort in the country to adhere to the Green Globe Certification from the initial construction phase, with sustainability as a priority in all operations. This is one of the most demanding international certifications for sustainable tourism, affiliated by the United Nations Tourism Organization (UNWTO) and the Green Globe Standard, updated annually, with recognition awarded by the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC). With a presence in more than 80 countries and adding more than 800 members (hotels and resorts certified worldwide), this certification recognizes hotels and resorts that are committed to improving the environmental and social management of their activity.

Clean and renewable energy.

The energy consumption considered in the construction and operation of Verdelago Resort comes mostly from clean and renewable energy sources, with the ultimate goal being the exclusive use of renewable energy. The energy options taken in every dimension of the project are renewable, reflected in all of the equipment and solutions chosen. This guarantees sustainable energy powers the entire project.

More than a consumer, a power generator.

The Verdelago Resort was designed to be a self-sufficient unit in terms of power and energy consumption. With the installation of a photovoltaic plant, the resort can produce a total annual amount of energy greater than that consumed by the development. It has a positive environmental impact by generating renewable energy for the local community.

A local agent with an impact on protecting the planet.

Verdelago Resort intends to be a highly certified, transforming agent with a zero ecological footprint that contributes to economic and social development. By valuing nature and biodiversity, it creates a positive environmental impact. Through sustainable practices, conscientious consumption, renewable energy production and respect for biodiversity, Verdelago Resort provides a responsible lifestyle in harmony with the environment.

Environmentally-friendly solutions. And for the future.

Reduction of CO₂ and greenhouse gas emissions.

During the construction of Verdelago Resort, highly skilled regional workers are employed and locally sourced, sustainable materials and goods used where possible. We plant indigenous species in the regeneration of green areas, resulting in lower water consumption, maintenance and higher air purification properties. The implementation of a light transport mobility plan also significantly reduces harmful gas emissions.
