Hotel el Ganzo Sustainability Actions

B Corp certification

In 2022, El Ganzo became the first hotel in Mexico to earn B Corp certification, joining a global community of companies that measure success not just by profit, but by purpose. This recognition reflects years of effort in reducing inequality, lowering our environmental footprint, and strengthening the community of La Playa and San José del Cabo.

Single-use plastic reduction

Through Desplastifícate, we’re replacing single-use plastics with eco-friendly alternatives, promoting refill systems, and encouraging mindful consumption among guests and staff. This initiative is part of a broader effort to reduce inorganic waste and protect the natural beauty of Los Cabos.

Recycling program

Our Recycling Program strengthens the responsible management of inorganic waste at El Ganzo and its community. Every day, our team separates materials for recycling, ensuring that what can be reused never ends up in landfills. On the first Tuesday of every month, we open a community recycling station in the hotel’s parking lot, operated jointly with La Playa Centro Comunitario.
