Sandaya, the French group specializing in high-end outdoor hospitality, reaffirms its commitment to more sustainable tourism by announcing that 13 additional campsites have obtained the Clef Verte certification. This label – the leading international certification for sustainable tourism dedicated to accommodation providers – recognizes establishments that stand out for their sustainable practices in resource management, waste reduction, and biodiversity conservation.
With this achievement, the total number of Sandaya campsites awarded this prestigious certification rises to 52 out of 64. Since its founding in 2010, the 4- and 5-star campsite chain has focused on responsible and eco-friendly management of its facilities. The recent Clef Verte certification of all 13 candidate campsites demonstrates the company’s commitment to continuing along this path.
However, Sandaya’s vision for corporate social responsibility (CSR) goes beyond obtaining certifications. It is part of a broader responsible development strategy through the Way of Life program, launched in 2019.
This initiative is based on four key pillars: optimizing the management of natural resources (water, energy, and waste), enhancing biodiversity through environmental conservation, training and engaging employees by investing in staff retention and professional growth, and preparing for the campsite of the future with low-carbon travel and more eco-responsible accommodations. The goal is to minimize environmental impact while offering travelers authentic experiences in harmony with nature.
