Green Key is pleased to announce that OUTRIGGER Fiji Beach Resort and Castaway Island, Fiji have become the first establishments in Fiji to achieve Green Key certification. The certification was awarded following a comprehensive auditing and documentation process, confirming the resorts’ compliance with Green Key’s rigorous environmental and social responsibility criteria.
Both properties demonstrate strong environmental management systems and a long-term commitment to sustainability. They implement measures to reduce energy and water consumption, manage waste responsibly, and prioritise sustainable purchasing. At OUTRIGGER Fiji Beach Resort, a dedicated environmental officer oversees legislative compliance and supports continuous improvement across all operational areas.
The resorts place a strong emphasis on community engagement and local economic support through local employment and sourcing practices. Environmental education is integrated into the guest experience, encouraging awareness of sustainability and conservation issues.
Marine conservation is a key focus at Castaway Island, Fiji, where the recently launched Sculptural Coral Gene Bank supports coral regeneration while providing an educational platform for guests to learn about reef protection and biodiversity.
