Over the past thirty years, Club Med Cherarting Beach Resort has been committed to preserving the environment and culture of its settings. In fact, the built-up area today is only 25 percent. Club Med’s commitment towards environmental protection now goes a notch higher with its latest move to acquire Green Globe certification label.

Club Med's efforts to preserve the environment extend to energy and water consumption. Energy is recovered to fuel boilers for hot water channelled to guests' rooms. The resort also has an efficient watering system that uses water from a man-made lagoon for watering plants, among others. The lagoon is part of the resort’s natural wastewater treatment system.

The resort has started nature conservation awareness for young guests. This is a new nature-based concept, with a focus on nature education and the use of sustainable local materials for the refurbished clubhouse, use of passive solar design for natural light, natural filtration fish ponds and energy-saving lighting.

Club Med supports the activities of the Fisheries Department, which manages the Turtle Sanctuary. Club Med's vice president (marketing, Asia Pacific), Olivier Horps, was reported to have said that, apart from committing to the Green Globe programme, the resort also supports the local community through its Corporate Social Responsibility programmes. The resort employs more than 100 locals in the area, and organises scheduled local cultural shows at the resort as well as brings guests to visit several places of interest nearby.

Green Globe is a comprehensive provider of voluntary environmental management solutions. Based in Singapore, the organization is mobilised by the GreenAsia Group team of experts in sustainable environmental and social projects.
