Corporate responsibility
Due to our commitment with the natural environment around us, PortAventura bases its operations on a management model that allows us to develop our business to the max, while showing the greatest respect for the natural environment beyond the current requirements of the area regulations. A proof of the above are the various important environmental certifications we have been awarded, such as the European EMAS certificate, the ISO14001 standard or the Environmental Quality Guarantee Distinction. It must be noted that the collaboration and involvement of all our employees is of vital importance to multiply the effects of the continuous improvement steps that are implemented.
Corporate Responsibility Commitment
From its beginnings, PortAventura has worked to encourage mutually beneficial relationships with the different stakeholders in the environment that surrounds us. By integrating responsible and sustainable management to our business strategy, we have become the leading theme park in Spain and one of the ten most visited parks in Europe, generating a significant direct and indirect impact on its local environment and the community. PortAventura is a very active economic, social, and environmental agent that integrates a responsible, sustainable management lead by our four corporate values. Commitment, quality, passion for customer service, and team spirit.
