Sustainable operations

We operate responsibly to create experiences that highlight Santorini

We stay true to our vision by integrating ethical and sustainable practices across all aspects of our operations. Our commitment to responsible tourism helps us create unique experiences that celebrate the beauty and culture of Santorini. We are dedicated to continuously contributing to sustainable development, ensuring a positive impact on the island for years to come.

We monitor, analyze and review our sustainability goals  

At Santo Collection, sustainable development is a key priority, and its progress is actively monitored and reviewed by the Group’s Sustainability Committee via the Resorts’ Management Team. The Committee plays a crucial role in shaping policies, strategies, and programs related to Sustainable Governance. Its responsibilities include: 

• Monitoring, reviewing, and evaluating the resorts’ sustainability performance 

• Examining, analyzing, and contributing to new sustainable governance actions 

• Reviewing sustainability goals and tracking the resorts’ progress toward achieving them 

• Advising the Board of Directors on sustainable development-related risks, such as climate change and food security 

In 2022, a specialized sub-committee, titled “Sustainability Executive Committee” was established within the framework of the Sustainability Committee. This sub-committee focuses on the more direct and holistic management of Sustainable Development issues, ensuring alignment with the Group’s sustainability strategy and maximizing the resulting benefits. 

We prioritize the privacy and rights of our employees, guests, and partners.

At Santo Collection, we implement a robust Personal Data Privacy Policy to ensure the highest level of protection for our information systems and guarantee confidentiality. We comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and process personal data in accordance with European legislation. Protecting personal data is at the heart of our commitment, ensuring that all individuals’ privacy is respected and safeguarded. 

The health and safety of our guests and employees are our top priority.

By following strict hygiene and safety standards, we have earned HACCP and ISO 22000 certifications to ensure the highest level of food safety and hygiene. We adhere to rigorous hygiene and safety standards, that comply with the provisions of Labor Law that ensure a healthy and safe working environment. Our Resorts apply the Greek legislation on operating licenses for hospitality facilities in relation to health and safety, as well as the national special health protocols based on the instructions of the official authorities regarding health & safety for each part of our resorts’ premises. 
We continuously update our comprehensive prevention strategy, which includes maintaining safe facilities, adhering to strict standards, conducting regular audits, and providing ongoing safety training for all employees. This proactive approach helps prevent accidents and ensures effective management of any emergency situations, safeguarding the well-being of everyone at our properties. 

We believe that job satisfaction, personal growth, and optimal performance can only be achieved in a safe and healthy work environment.
