GUAM—Dusit Thani Guam Resort is the first luxury hotel in Guam to achieve EarthCheck Bronze Certification. Bronze Certification recognizes the commitment of the hotel to benchmark its environmental and social sustainability under the EarthCheck program. EarthCheck is widely regarded as a scientifically rigorous environmental benchmarking and certification program and provides a framework which includes requirements specific to management systems, such as quality, environment, occupational health and safety, risk management, heritage and corporate social responsibility.
