Environmental strategy and social commitment define the operation of AC Escazú

The AC Hotel San José Escazú has developed a comprehensive strategy based on ESG (environmental, social and governance) criteria, aimed at generating a positive impact on both the environment and the communities where it operates.

Located within the Avenida Escazú complex, the hotel integrates into an urban environment that combines commerce, gastronomy and residences, incorporating sustainable practices within its daily operation and aligning itself with a vision of responsible development.

This approach responds to a transformation in the hotel industry, where sustainability is no longer just an added value but has become a central management principle, permeating all levels of operation.

In terms of the environment, the AC Hotel San José Escazú implements waste management systems that include separation and disposal through authorized providers, as well as wastewater treatment in compliance with Costa Rican regulations.

In turn, the property features LED lighting throughout and motion sensors that optimize energy consumption, contributing to a more efficient operation aligned with international standards.

Among its most notable initiatives is the elimination of plastic bottles in rooms, replaced by reusable glass containers, as well as the incorporation of devices that reduce water consumption in both public areas and rooms.

These actions reflect a management approach focused on minimizing environmental impact without compromising the quality of the guest experience.

In the social sphere, the hotel promotes volunteer programs that encourage the active participation of its employees in community projects, fostering an organizational culture based on social responsibility.

It also develops initiatives related to diversity and equity, including actions aimed at ensuring safe environments, especially for women travelers, and adherence to national programs aimed at preventing exploitation in the tourism sector.

The establishment also promotes internal training on environmental issues, climate change and responsible resource management, strengthening the role of its team as an agent of change within the operation.

These practices are supported by certifications that endorse energy efficiency, tourism sustainability and health quality, consolidating a management model that integrates operational performance with environmental and social commitment.

In this way, the AC Hotel San José Escazú is moving towards a proposal where sustainability is incorporated across the board, consolidating its position within a segment that is increasingly oriented towards responsible and long-term practices.
