LOS ANGELES, California – Overlooking the Bay of Cannes and the Mediterranean Sea, the Grand Hyatt Cannes Hotel Martinez impresses with a strong, focused commitment to implement sustainable business practices across all operational levels. In line with Hyattโ€™s global responsibility platform, โ€˜Hyatt Thriveโ€™, this flagship hotel is dedicated to promote a healthy and vibrant natural environment. All efforts recently earned Green Globe re-certification.

โ€œThe renewal of our prestigious certification is a wonderful reward for our extra efforts made last year,โ€ said Florence Gardrat, Quality and Environment Manager at the Grand Hyatt Cannes Hotel Martinez. โ€œWe recognize that environmental sustainability is a journey and not a short-term endeavor. Achieving measurable results requires a conscious effort and a healthy mix of focus, innovation, commitment and optimism. We are doing our part to enable thriving communities โ€“ places where we are proud to work, our neighbors want to live, and our guests want to visit.โ€

The Grand Hyatt Cannes Hotel Martinez has set aggressive, measurable goals to reduce energy and water consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and waste sent to landfills. All progress is monitored via Hyatt Eco-Track, and the information enables the hotel to identify new opportunities for improvement. The in-house Green Team is a positive catalyst for change at the hotel and the local community. Sustainable materials can be found throughout the property, and a responsible purchasing policy is part of the business strategy.

โ€œOur work includes both, the promotion of local food and culture to our international guests, as well as the provision of our extensive facilities and services to charitable organizations. We like to support local projects, focusing on assisting children with special needs. On a regular basis, we organize fund raisers, such as โ€˜toy drivesโ€™ or bakery sales, to benefit these kids. We also invite the children for training sessions in different departments at our hotel, or to events we are hosting, especially during the Holiday Season,โ€ commented Florence Gardrat.

Harnessing the power of more than 95,000 associates at over 500 properties around the world, Hyatt Thrive brings together teams of passionate people to focus on local projects that contribute to the prosperity and well-being of their communities.
