In the south of Gran Canaria water is a precious commodity. The island is bathed by the trade winds, which bring the humidity from the sea in the form of rain. These rains usually stay in the northern part of the island leaving a drier climate in the southern part of the island.

Efficient measures applied in the hotel to save water:

• Double flush push buttons on toilets.
• Single lever taps that facilitate the regulation of the flow.
• Efficient showers and sinks with atomisers.
• Early morning watering with automatic control.
• Use of plants adapted to the lack of water.
• Use of plants adapted to the lack of water.
• Preventive maintenance of the installations to avoid leaks and ensure proper operation.

Instructions to our guests:

• Change towels only if they are on the floor.
• Good consumption practices.

Awareness and training for our staff:

• Our staff receive training focused on minimising water consumption.
• Code of Best Practices adapted to each department.

Water consumption per stay has shot up in 2020 due to the fact that the hotel was closed due to the pandemic. In 2021, despite the lower number of stays, consumption is similar to 2019.

Energy consumption leads to the release of CO2 into the atmosphere, thus contributing to climate change.

That is why we apply measures for its reduction in the Hotel:

• Reclamation of the luminaire for LED and low consumption.
• We acquire efficient equipment to ensure the greatest comfort to our customers with a rational energy consumption.
• Automatic disconnection devices for air conditioning if guests open balcony doors.
• Presence sensors in bathrooms.
• R&D department that develops controls to improve energy efficiency (temperature control, schedules, etc.).

Indications to our guests:

• Indications of good consumption practices.

Awareness and training for our staff:

• Our staff receive training focused on minimising energy consumption.
• Code of Good Practices.

The correct Residue Management is essential in an island system such as Gran Canaria.

At the Hotel we apply numerous measures to improve its efficiency. We always follow the rule of the 3 R's. Reducing is the best way of not generating waste.

Instructions to our guests:

• Recycling bins in the common areas
• Information on good practices in the directory and at the hotel reception.

Awareness and training for our staff:

• Our staff receives training focused on reduction, reuse and recycling.
• Code of Good Practices.

The activities of the hotel sector generate emissions of gases into the atmosphere, causing the greenhouse effect and consequently climate change.

At Princess Hotels & Resorts we want to reduce the impact we generate hotels, is in the environment by reducing this footprint in our therefore we have begun to calculate our carbon footprint.

The protection of natural areas with high ecological or scenic value is essential for their conservation.

We believe that the protection of these areas is essential for the tourism sector, since the tourist's choice of the Canary Islands as a destination depends on their good condition.

The promotion to the tourist of these spaces as well as the measures for their correct conservation is vital, as well as a differentiating element.

The Mogán Princess Hotel (red circle) has 4 Natura 2000 sites nearby:

Natura 2000 is an ecological network of European biodiversity conservation areas.

These natural areas belong to Natura 2000. Its purpose is to ensure the long-term survival of species and to halt the habitat types in Europe.
