We are proud to unveil our new CSR brand identity
We Care brings together all the commitments and values we uphold throughout the year:
Our logo features a coral branch and a tropical monstera leaf, which come together to form a heart, to showcase our initiatives to protect nature and the ocean, two elements deeply rooted in Polynesian culture. The symbol emits the warmth of the Polynesian people, beating for their fenua. The heart is also a symbol that we care about the well-being of our staff and the local community.
A single message: Protection, respect and commitment
WE CARE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
We encourage the smart management of our resources within our infrastructures and through waste management, while also prioritizing the protection of biodiversity by promoting sustainable initiatives and practices.

accreditation level, Platinum. Very few establishments worldwide have
reached this level.

phase to define and evaluate its environmental policy and must implement
a number of actions in different areas that align with our WE CARE
strategy:

- Waste management
- Reduction or elimination of pesticides and cleaning and hygiene chemicals products
