Six Senses Ibiza has received two new ISO certifications, 9001, which accredits its commitment to satisfying the needs of customers and suppliers, minimizing risks and maximizing the quality of its service, and 14001, which recognizes its work in environmental protection. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is a 1946 organization whose objective is to develop norms or standards (ISO Standards) to ensure the quality, safety and efficiency of products and services in the countries that make up its network, currently 162. In a press release, the 5-star hotel in the municipality of Sant Joan has reported that it has obtained these two certifications. In the case of the ISO 9001 standard, this recognizes the commitment to Quality Management Systems (QMS) and acts as a tool to define standards applicable to all internal and external management processes, customer satisfaction and continuous improvement to offer and guarantee a service of the highest quality. Its achievement implies compliance with 65 requirements that ensure the efficiency of processes designed to meet the needs and expectations of customers and suppliers, minimize risks and maximize the quality of the products and services offered. The ISO 14001 standard accredits the resort’s commitment to Environmental Management Systems (EMS) and, as an international standard, its commitment to environmental protection through sustainable management that enables an effective reduction in waste generation and energy savings.
The first resort in the Balearic Islands with BREEAM certification
These certifications are in addition to its recognition as the first resort and residential community in the Balearic Islands with BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Methodology) certification, the largest and most demanding certification in sustainable construction on a global scale. The BREEAM resort status allows Six Senses Ibiza to reduce its annual carbon emissions by almost 40% thanks to the use of renewable energies and a strict classification of waste into eight categories, among other measures, and to save up to 24 million liters of water per year thanks to a geothermal system that avoids conventional cooling tower technology and an automated irrigation system. Inaugurated in June 2021 as the first Six Senses resort in Spain and the second in Europe, the commitment to quality and sustainability guides all Six Senses Ibiza’s actions, whether large or small, maintaining its commitment to the total elimination of plastic in all processes and its contribution to the sustainable development of Ibiza through its sustainability fund.
