Sustainability policy


VISION
Environmental protection is a global problem and, therefore, it requires global solutions. It is not possible to protect the environment by hampering economic development, instead, we should focus on achieving sustainable development.


GOAL
Therefore, in order to support sustainable development, we strive to introduce socially responsible behavior towards the community, as well as towards the ecological balance in order to provide quality to our guests. The relationship between economic systems and those of an ecological character must be in balance. One of the significant contributions to sustainable development is the integration of the environmental management system in accordance with the requirements of ISO 14001 into the management system. Such a system primarily requires:
- protection of natural resources,
- introduction and application of new technologies,
- giving up activities that could jeopardize the implementation of sustainable development

Environmental protection in a hotel is possible only with the joint effort of all employees within the organized system. We strive to promote environmental awareness among our employees through education and training. Recycling is one part of the vision that seeks to create an opportunity for each employee and guest to collect all types of useful waste separately at the place of origin. To this end, the sorting of waste such as cardboard, glass, plastic packaging, batteries and degradable waste is carried out as a sustainable system for separate collection of useful waste in our hotels.
When ordering products, we also choose products in larger packages, thus reducing the amount of waste that is produced during use. Among other things, efforts are being made to reduce CO2 emissions and the consumption of resources such as electrical energy, water and heating energy sources with the aim of more rational use of resources, where ultimately our priority is renewable sources compared to limited sources.


Protection of life, health, privacy and dignity of workers


1. OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY
The employer must apply the legislation governing occupational health and safety and continually work on improving occupational health and safety. The employer undertakes to ensure the protection of the health and safety of workers in all forms related to work, and in particular: procure and maintain facilities, devices, equipment, tools, place of work and access to the place of work, organize work in a way that ensures the protection of life and health of workers, in accordance with special laws and other regulations and with the nature of work performed, and apply measures for the protection of health and safety of workers, prevent occupational hazards, inform workers about occupational hazards and educate them on safe working practices, and implement other prescribed occupational safety measures. The employer must ensure appropriate occupational health and safety training for each worker, especially in the form of information and instructions relating to the worker's job and tasks, as follows: when hiring a worker, if the worker is transferred to another job, if new work equipment is introduced or the existing one replaced, and if new technology is introduced.

When implementing occupational and environmental protection, the worker is especially obliged to:

- master the knowledge of occupational health and safety to the extent necessary for performing work in a safe manner,
- undergo tests for detecting alcohol, other substances or the existence of an illness,
- comply with the provisions on smoking bans, and all regulations and measures to prevent fires.

Training for work in a safe manner and fire prevention training implies an organized programme activity through which workers acquire knowledge, skills and habits for work in a safe manner, in accordance with the Training programme for safe working, occupational health and safety and fire prevention. The Management of the Company regulates by special rules the regulation and implementation of protection measures, risk assessment, rights, obligations and responsibilities and all other issues in accordance with the law. A worker working at a job for which the appropriate examination or other compulsory training is required by law shall be referred by the Management of the Company to the appropriate examination or training under this Ordinance or another act of the employer. The employer must insure the workers against the consequences of accidents while performing work.

By a special decision, the employer shall appoint a person authorized to collect, use and submit data on employees to third parties in accordance with legal regulations.


3. CONFIDENTIALITY OF BUSINESS AND PERSONAL DATA

Any breach of the confidentiality of the data referred to in Paragraph 1 of this Article is a breach of work obligations.


4. PROTECTION OF WORKERS' DIGNITY
The employer must protect the worker from direct or indirect discrimination in the field of work and working conditions, including selection criteria and conditions concerning employment, advancement, professional guidance, professional training and retraining, in accordance with special laws. The employer must protect the dignity of the worker during the performance of work, by ensuring working conditions under which there is no exposure to harassment, which includes taking preventive measures. Harassment or sexual harassment is a breach of employment obligations. An employer who employs at least twenty workers must appoint a person who is, beside the employer, authorized to receive and resolve complaints concerning the protection of the dignity of workers. A worker who considers to be harassed or sexually harassed has the right to lodge a complaint with reference to the protection of the dignity of workers. When the person referred to in Article 41, Paragraph 1 of the Ordinance receives a complaint related to the protection of the dignity of workers, they must examine the complaint within 8 days from the date of delivery of the complaint and take all necessary measures appropriate to the case to prevent continued harassment or sexual harassment, if the existence of such is established.
In the procedure of examining and resolving the complaint, the person referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article shall examine the employee who filed the complaint, the person to whom the complaint relates, and if necessary for the complete and true establishment of facts, other persons who may have knowledge of the subject of the complaint or present other evidence. The worker may be questioned in the presence of a plenipotentiary (lawyer, union commissioner, etc.) If the authorized person referred to in Article 41, Paragraph 1 of the Ordinance determines that the employee who filed the complaint is harassed or sexually harassed, the person shall inform the Management of the Company about the need to take urgent measures to prevent further harassment of employees.
The person referred to in Paragraph 1 of this Article, depending on the circumstances of the case, proposes to the Management of the Company that:
- the person who harassed the worker be transferred to another job at the employer's premises (worker transfer),
- the person who harassed the employee receive a verbal warning,

If there are circumstances due to which it is not justified to expect that the employer will protect the dignity of the worker, the worker is not obliged to submit a complaint to the person referred to in Article 41, Paragraph 1 of the Ordinance and has the right to suspend work, provided that he/she requested protection before the competent court and notified the employer on this within 8 days of the suspension of work. All data and documents collected in the procedure of protection of the worker’s dignity are secret, and their secrecy is the responsibility of the person referred to in Article 41, Paragraph 1 of the Ordinance who resolved the respective complaint, and the responsibility of all other persons who participated in the process of resolving the complaint, of which they must be notified in a timely manner.

The success of this process is closely linked to the quality of goods and services necessary to achieve this goal. As part of the world-famous hotel brand TUI, we are looking for responsible and creative suppliers with the main emphasis on the local climate, the authenticity of the offer and organic production through which we want to present the best that Croatia has to offer. In this supply chain, we have partners from registered small family farms to large Croatian producers. Within our parent company, there are also sister companies that are our main suppliers for organically grown beef from our own farm near Bjelovar, as well as wine and olive oil from the island of Brač.
In the procurement process, we procure 30% of goods from suppliers from the local area of Split-Dalmatia County, while the rest we procure from Croatian suppliers. When purchasing equipment, priority is given to suppliers and products that meet the requirements of energy efficiency class A. Cost-effectiveness, quality, servicing, respecting the agreed deadlines and reliability are our highest priority. We place our trust in all our suppliers and we expect fair and long-term cooperation on a sound basis, and we also expect them to help us recognize where there is potential for cost reduction.
