Our vision for sustainability and regeneration
At Gandum Village, sustainability is not just a strategy or an abstract concept - it is at the heart of everything we do. We are inspired by the definition of sustainable development established by the Brundtland Commission in the report "Our Common Future" (1987), which defined sustainable development as:
"Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs."
This principle guides our decisions, from the construction of the space to the experiences offered to guests, always with a commitment to creating a positive impact on the environment, the economy and society.
The Kick-off: Our Common Future
The report Our Common Future, produced by the United Nations, was a milestone in the way the world came to understand the balance between progress and preservation. This document has inspired our vision for Gandum, as we recognize that in order to tackle global challenges, it is necessary to act locally, with practices that serve as an example and inspiration. The report highlights three pillars that also underpin our approach:
Environmental protection: Prioritizing practices that regenerate nature, reducing impacts and promoting biodiversity.
Social Justice: Ensuring that local communities benefit directly and indirectly from Gandum.
Economic viability: Integrating sustainability with financial viability, creating a business model that sustains positive impact in the long term.
The Gandum Commitment
At Gandum, we translate this vision into practical and measurable actions. For us, sustainability means:
Environmental regeneration: Not just reducing impacts, but improving the condition of the soil, water and local biodiversity.
Human Connection: Creating opportunities for learning and involvement with the community and guests.
Regenerative Design: Planning spaces and operations that harmonize comfort, functionality and respect for nature.
That's why Gandum isn't just a hotel; it's a space for transformation, where every guest and partner has the opportunity to be part of a shared vision for a better future.
A Living Example of Real Sustainability
We take a practical and scientific approach, in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Our commitment goes beyond minimizing impacts - we want to be a real model of how sustainability and regeneration can coexist with comfort, design and memorable experiences.
