Sandals Resorts International has released its Corporate Social Responsibility Report.
The report, ¡°Love Exceeds Expectations,¡± showcases more than 40 years of impact, innovation and stewardship across education, community and the environment.
¡°Many
may not realize that Sandals is a family-owned company, born in Jamaica and dedicated to ensuring that tourism benefits Caribbean people, communities and the natural beauty that makes our home one of the most beautiful places in all the world,¡± said
Adam Stewart, Executive Chairman of Sandals Resorts International.
He added, ¡°We aim to connect our guests more deeply to the Caribbean so when they visit us, they will understand that they, too, are part of this effort that supports local
farmers, empowers people through education, and restores coral reefs. This is who we are and at the core of everything we do, and we¡¯re excited to share it.¡±
Founded in 1981 by Jamaican entrepreneur Gordon ¡°Butch¡± Stewart, Sandals is one
of the region¡¯s most passionate and visible ambassadors and the largest private employer.
Starting with a mandate to support local schools, the legacy now includes preserving ancient trees, planting coral fragments with a 90 percent survival
rate and providing essential school supplies.
¡°We believe in the power of tourism to transform lives and understand that Caribbean resilience grows from a deep respect for the environment, its people and its culture. As a Caribbean family
and a Caribbean company, no one loves and cares for this region more than we do and it is our responsibility to act,¡± added Stewart. ¡°This report is a testament to that legacy ¨C and a promise to keep going."
