Zawya - Press Releases: Mazagan Beach & Golf Resort renews its EarthCheck Gold certification for the second consecutive year

El Jadida, Morocco : Mazagan Beach & Golf Resort has announced that it has renewed its EarthCheck Gold certification for the second consecutive year, an achievement that reflects its unwavering commitment to responsible hospitality and sustainable resort management. The resort thus maintains its position as the first and only tourist establishment in Morocco to receive this prestigious international certification .

This achievement marks a new milestone in Mazagan's sustainability journey, building on a long track record of environmental and social performance, following four consecutive years of EarthCheck Silver certification before achieving Gold status. This certification covers the entire resort, including the golf course, and assesses the site's overall operational performance across key areas such as water management, energy use, waste management, and social impact .

In this context, Jack Claudel, General Manager of Mazagan Beach & Golf Resort, said : “Renewing our EarthCheck Gold certification for the second year in a row is an important recognition of a sustainability journey built over years of commitment, perseverance, and continuous improvement. At Mazagan, we do not treat sustainability as a separate initiative, but as an integral part of the way we run our business across the entire resort. This recognition reflects the collective effort behind this approach and reinforces our ambition to continue raising the bar for responsible hospitality .”

Mazagan’s sustainability framework has evolved over the years through a wide range of measures designed to enhance environmental performance and support long-term operational resilience. Sound water management remains a cornerstone of this approach, supported by systems that allow for the reuse of treated wastewater for irrigating green spaces and the golf course, along with more efficient irrigation practices that contribute to improved water use across the resort .

The resort also continued to enhance its waste management practices through sorting systems, composting initiatives, and a gradual shift away from single-use plastics in favor of more sustainable alternatives. In parallel, ongoing efforts to improve energy efficiency, including the adoption of LED lighting systems and the exploration of renewable energy solutions, reflect a broader commitment to reducing environmental impact through practical and measurable actions .

Mazagan's sustainability model extends beyond environmental management to encompass social impact and the promotion of local value. Through initiatives such as the Mazagan Academy, the resort supports the professional development of local youth by providing hospitality training, accredited career paths, and broader opportunities for integration and long-term development. Meanwhile, employee awareness and training programs help embed sustainability practices into daily operations across all departments, while the resort's focus on local sourcing fosters stronger ties with producers and artisans in the region .

Claudel added : "What gives this achievement its special significance is that it reflects the strength of an integrated approach that combines environmental management, operational discipline and social responsibility. We view the renewal of this certification as an acknowledgment of what has been built over the years, and an incentive to continue raising the standards of sustainable tourism in Morocco ."

By renewing its EarthCheck Gold certification for the second year in a row, Mazagan Beach & Golf Resort continues to solidify its position as a leading benchmark for sustainable tourism in Morocco and the region.
