Staff attend in-house seminars on environmental issues both pertaining to the hotel and globally. We purchase indigenous plants and ones that need less water. We use re-cycled toilet tissue. An environmentally sensitive purchasing policy is adopted at all times. For Casuarina being environmentally responsible does not begin and end on the premises.
Community work is of great importance.
We firmly believe that for Tourism to be the truly sustainable industry it should be, great emphasis must be placed on the quality of the destination in which it is located. The protection of our Turtle nesting areas are a priority and Casuarina works in close liaison with Bellairs' Institute to achieve this goal. Casuarina also supports the Future Centre Trust and sees its role in Barbados of paramount importance in evolving into a learning centre where best practices concerning waste minimisation, water and energy conservation can be operational models and by example, can be implemented in hotels. Chairperson - is plotted on a course of action towards this end. Tree planting in the community is an activity afforded to staff and guests alike and makes for an enjoyable and worthwhile day out for everyone concerned.
