Sustainability
Defining Our Commitment
We have created a long-lasting legacy within our local communities through our CSR programs by building and refurbishing schools, orphanages, sports playgrounds as well as and sponsoring local associations & foundations of women and children in needs.
We have created a complete and diversified range of authentic and exclusive experiences from coral and mangroves planting & protection, tree planting, organic farming, farm to table cooking classes, art craft workshops with recycled materials, to food waste control & donations and much more...
We also help you reaching a carbon neutral impact of your meetings, incentives and events by walking you through the steps of measuring, reducing and improving your GHGs emissions as well as compensating them through one of our vetted local off setting programs that sustains our communities and destinations.
We guide you through the calculation process and bring you the opportunity to create a society that dramatically reduces emissions and build a more conscious world for all starting by the retribution of the emissions that impacted the environment during the course of the program such as:
- Air Travel Emissions
- Transfer Emissions
- Energy Consumption
- Emissions of food per meal per participant
- Emissions from Hotel
- Emissions from waste
- Water and other smaller sources
Connect DMC is the first DMC worldwide to have embraced the Climate Neutral Now pledge with the United Nations UNFCCC as well as The Climate Pledge and the Net Zero Carbon Events initiative, facilitating faster and more inclusive climate action that is necessary to ensure climate neutrality by mid-century.
Embracing the pledge allows us to raise the profile of your event, raise awareness about the importance of accelerated climate action, support global greenhouse gas emission reductions, help bring sustainable development benefits to communities in developing countries, such as improved air and water quality, improved income, reduced energy consumption, and others.
