Protect ourselves & protect others

We established a common and global framework for preventing and fighting against abusive behaviour and addictive conduct through an Internal Guidebook called KARE (Keep out Abuses and Respect Everyone).

Indeed, freedom and responsibility are two of the founding values of Club Med (lien vers la page valeurs). In order to continue creating bonds in the Club Med Spirit and maintain our festive atmosphere, we need, more than ever, to recall the framework of our rights and duties.

For reasserting our 5 values, especially responsibility, Club Med has adopted a code of ethics completed by an Anti-corruption code. This commitment strengths our system for preventing and fighting against corruption. It helps to maintain relationships of trust with our environment.

Career paths

For us, we also value a lot enabling diversified and fulfilling career paths to our G.Os & G.Es :

• 100% of our CDV (Chef de Village) are coming from Internal Promotion
• 80% of our CODIR are coming from Internal Promotion

For example, in 2018:

• 35% of G.Os changed position from one year to the next
• 26% of G.Os and G.Es changed countries for work

Committed to the environment

As a specialist in dream locations, we are aware of their fragility and for the need to preserve them…

• We offer fully certified sustainable stays :
  • 100% of new resorts are certified with BREEAM or equivalent for construction
  • Almost 80% of our Resorts are Green Globe certified for operations (target: 100% by 2021)
  • Our tour operator ‘Club Med Découverte‘ circuits is ATR* certified (ATR: Agir pour un Tourisme Responsable)

• .. And Green Activities to experience and protect wildlife: in 20 Resorts, nature activities allow to discover the exceptional natural resources of the sites.

Committed to people

As a pioneer in tourism, we are firmly convinced that we must actively contribute to local development.

The mere presence of a Club Med Resort systematically generates local economic and social benefits. We aim to go further and strive to maximize and extend these benefits with as examples of our commitments :

• The Green Farmers program : since 2008, Club Med, in partnership with AGRISUD, support very small farms to develop them in a viable and sustainable way nearby Club Med sites. Hundreds of producers are trained to apply the principles of environmentally-friendly agriculture and in the financial management of their site.
• Fighting child abuse in tourism with the ECPAT organization since 2005
• Supporting local employment and purchasing : Nearly 75% of the jobs we created are filled locally and the number of jobs created is higher than in the traditional hotel industry.
• Solidarity at the heart of the Club Med Foundation’ mission.
