On the occasion of Earth Day, Constance Hospitality hosted a landmark event at Constance Belle Mare Plage, celebrating more than a decade of certified sustainable practices. The group was officially awarded Green Globe Platinum Shields for six of its Indian Ocean properties, a prestigious distinction that recognises 10 years of environmental leadership and operational excellence in the hospitality sector.

The Platinum status, makes Constance Hospitality the first hotel group in Mauritius to reach this level of international recognition.

The six certified properties include:

• Constance Belle Mare Plage and Constance Prince Maurice (Mauritius)
• Constance Ephelia and Constance Lemuria (Seychelles)
• Constance Moofushi and Constance Halaveli (Maldives)

“These awards represent more than recognition. They reflect our shared responsibility to protect the ecosystems that define our region and to build a future where luxury and sustainability are inseparable.” Jean-Jacques Vallet, CEO, Constance Hospitality

Driving Sustainability to 2030

The event also marked the official signing of Constance Hospitality’s new Corporate Sustainability Policy, built around eight strategic pillars including climate action, biodiversity protection, inclusive hospitality, guest education, and responsible procurement.

The group also announced its participation in the Global Tourism Plastics Initiative, led by the United Nations Environment Programme and the World Tourism Organization. Through this global partnership, Constance commits to eliminating unnecessary plastics, investing in reusable solutions, and advancing a circular economy approach to plastic use.

“Since 2020, we’ve launched over 165 impactful actions across our resorts, reduced our plastic footprint by 3.3 tonnes, lowered greenhouse gas emissions by 20%, and engaged over 4,700 individuals in our environmental and social initiatives.”
Andrew Milton, Chief Operations Officer, Constance Hospitality

A Regional Leader in Responsible Luxury

With resorts across Mauritius, Seychelles, Maldives, Madagascar and Rodrigues, Constance Hospitality has become a regional benchmark in sustainable tourism. Beyond the six newly certified Platinum properties, C Mauritius has maintained Green Globe certification since 2021, and three additional resorts — Constance Tekoma, C Rodrigues Mourouk, and Constance Sakoa — have recently entered the certification process.

From reducing food waste and restoring coral reefs to reforesting mangroves and educating the next generation of eco-conscious travellers, Constance continues to transform luxury hospitality through long-term purpose and action.

All of these efforts are anchored in one core belief: that every action counts in preserving the natural beauty of the islands and passing on a legacy of authentic, inclusive, and sustainable hospitality.
