Renewing Commitment to Sustainability: Kuramathi Maldives Achieves Travelife Gold Certification

Kuramathi Maldives has successfully renewed its Travelife Gold Certification, a prestigious global recognition that highlights the resort’s dedication to sustainability. Travelife is an industry-driven initiative that focuses on promoting environmental stewardship and social responsibility among accommodation providers and tour operators. This certification reflects Kuramathi’s unwavering commitment to corporate social responsibility (CSR), demonstrated through various efforts such as protecting biodiversity, conserving marine ecosystems, adopting energy and water-efficient practices, and fostering partnerships with local communities to advance education and employment opportunities.

A significant component of Kuramathi’s sustainability framework is aligned with Travelife’s focus on employee welfare. The resort ensures ethical working conditions, fair wages, opportunities for professional growth, and compliance with health and safety regulations. Additionally, Kuramathi fosters inclusivity by providing equal employment opportunities and actively involving staff in sustainability initiatives. These practices cultivate a workplace environment where employees feel empowered and take shared responsibility for achieving CSR goals.

At the heart of Kuramathi’s sustainability strategy is its Eco Centre, led by a dedicated team including a Sustainability Manager, a Horticulturist, and an Eco Centre Coordinator. This team collaborates with the resort’s environment committee, which consists of representatives from different operational departments, to implement programs that promote environmental, social, and economic sustainability. By reducing environmental impact, enhancing community well-being, and advocating for human rights and fair labor practices, Kuramathi exemplifies responsible tourism, effectively balancing growth with conservation.
