Virtually, we present to you our first Sustainable Development Report. We want to share what matters to us. What we have achieved since the hotel opened in May 2019. The recent experiences and difficult months of the pandemic have prompted us to reflect and look at Gwiazda Morza from a broader perspective. We hope it will also encourage you to look at yourselves and appreciate your own accomplishments despite the challenging times.
In the Report, we based the implementation of our business on 3 key areas, which are interdependent and together create a single coherent whole. By summarizing our work, we wanted to show how responsible and challenging it is to run a business in the hotel industry when we want to stay true to our values, engage socially, and care for the environment. We are convinced that conscious care for sustainable development also promotes the development of the services offered by Gwiazda Morza Resort Spa & Sport, which ultimately leads to sustainable customer service.
In the report, you can find lots of interesting facts about the scope of our activities far beyond providing services to clients. The Symbioza Report is our invitation to discuss the daily lives of each of us, what we do for ourselves and our surroundings, and what we want to leave behind. Creating CSR reports is very popular in many industries, but in the hotel industry, it is still rare. And although we are not a chain but a single resort, we decided to prepare such a report to show that every entity and every step or attempt to act consciously and responsibly for nature and our neighbors matters.
Sustainable development can be most simply illustrated from the perspective of 3 areas: ecology, society, and economy. And that was the assumption we adopted. But it is also worth referring to the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, which are linked to specific guidelines and recommendations on what can be done to help the planet. You will also find such references in the report and on the "Sustainable Development" subpage.
Thanks to this, we were able to point out our key challenges, which go far beyond ordinary business and concern our daily lives. Thanks to instinctive decisions taken beyond business matters, by reading the Symbioza Report, you can see what is important to us.
We have decided to publish the Report online for the review of all interested parties. It will be available exclusively electronically to avoid wasting paper. We hope that this will inspire others—whether companies or individuals—to take an active stance and care for their immediate surroundings. Perhaps by showing how small and large efforts can positively impact others, we will also encourage other hoteliers, both small and large, to share their achievements. In this case, the more of us there are, the better for the planet.
By publishing the Symbioza Report, we want to thank all our stakeholders:
We hope that each of the above groups will find something for themselves and about themselves in the report, especially since most of them are beneficiaries of our work. We strive to promote and recommend all of them in our social media as much as possible.
Through the Symbioza Report, we want to show why it is worth getting involved in sustainable development activities. We know that if we take care of nature, it will repay us a hundredfold. We cannot forget the obvious fact that in the long term, a business has the chance to reduce costs and maintain or increase the sales of its products and services regardless of the industry. By caring for the environment, we have the opportunity to develop in a much broader perspective, building our awareness and seeing our agency. We can choose technologies that make our lives easier and at the same time do not negatively impact the environment. By engaging for others, we have the chance to create a community of mutually supportive and trusting people and companies. We can educate each other and inspire the willingness to share good. Strengthening what is already good in us.
Of course, we cannot forget the obvious aspect. It is worth acting for sustainable development simply to save the planet for future generations. To show that we do not only think about ourselves, to nurture mutual empathy. And if in this way we encourage others to positive competition with competitors, then why not? After all, together we will ultimately do more good for the environment.
