SAVE THE PLANET

Hard Rock Hotel Tenerife is strengthening its efforts to increase its sustainability in regard to the disposal of waste and the use of energy and water by introducing improved procedures, by working with non-profit organisations, and by developing sustainable policies and practices.

ECOSTARS

Ecostars is an international certification specialized in hotel sustainability, recognizing hotels based on their actual and measurable environmental performance. Its system awards "eco-stars" according to the sustainability of each establishment, evaluating aspects such as energy consumption, waste management, responsible water use, and social impact.

By obtaining the Ecostars certification, our hotel demonstrates its commitment to the environment and society, offering our guests the assurance of staying in an establishment aligned with the highest sustainability standards.

Standards required by Ecostars

Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
Energy efficiency and use of renewable energies.
Responsible and efficient water management.
Conservation of ecosystems and biodiversity.
Responsible social and cultural policy.
Minimization and proper management of waste.
Reduction of plastic and harmful substance use.
Sustainable planning of resources and operations.

Earth Hour: in March every year, we switch our lights off for an hour at 8.30 p.m. in order to reduce our energy consumption and to raise awareness of the climate crisis.

Our 2023 Earth Hour achieved a significant saving of 153 kilowatts, as we shared with our guests this example of a practical way to help the environment.

Beach cleaning: our partners assist with regular beach cleaning in our local area to promote sustainability and to support

the local community.

With active participation by our team, we are also living up to our “All is One” motto.

My first flight: A project aimed at protecting the Cory’s shearwater. The aim of the project is:

To strengthen Hard Rock Hotel Tenerife’s commitment to the protection of birds — and in particular the Cory’s shearwater.
To raise awareness of the need to protect birds.
To inform visitors of the environmental situation of the Cory’s shearwater and its relationship with tourism.
To further the local population’s knowledge of the area’s biodiversity.

Monitoring of sea turtles: We work in partnership with a research group (Proyecto Intertagua) to improve the conservation of the marine environment, and to monitor the turtles to prevent, for example, over contact between them and human beings — which can cause diseases linked to defective nutrition, including high cholesterol levels or unhealthy weight gain.

Solar panels: we have installed 108 solar panels on our rooftop of the Oasis building to generate renewable energy, about 170 Kw per day.

CTC project in collaboration with Ashotel, Asaga-Asaja, Serviagroc and Adeje Town Hall: the project consists of the segregation of bio-waste (eggshells, fruit and vegetable peelings and coffee grounds) to make compost and thus contribute to reducing the waste generated in the hotel in a sustainable way.
The project aims to
1- The reduction in the production of food waste in hotel kitchens.
2- The implementation of the separate collection of bio-waste from vegetable preparation and pruning.
3- The implementation of the separate collection of bio-waste from vegetable pruning.
4- Designing mechanisms to encourage greater local consumption by the participating hotels (Km 0 product).
