Red Sea Global (RSG) has achieved a sustainability milestone with The Red Sea becoming the first destination in the Kingdom to receive EarthCheck’s Sustainable Destinations certification.
The globally recognised certification is awarded to destinations that demonstrate leadership in sustainable tourism, assessing not only individual assets but the environmental, social, and economic performance of the entire destination.
Stewart Moore, CEO and Founder, EarthCheck said, “RSG is recognised as a pioneer in regenerative tourism. Through our audit of The Red Sea destination, we have seen this commitment clearly in action. We were also encouraged by the breadth of initiatives that go well beyond compliance including the rescue and protection of marine turtles in the Red Sea, and strong, practical support for economic opportunities in local communities. Alongside this, becoming the world’s largest destination powered by renewable energy is a remarkable achievement. Together, these efforts make The Red Sea a standout example within EarthCheck’s Sustainable Destinations programme.”
Raed Albasseet, Group Chief Environment and Sustainability Officer, Red Sea Global said, “The EarthCheck Sustainable Destinations programme is recognised worldwide for its rigorous, science-backed process. Achieving this certification demonstrates our commitment to setting new global benchmarks and confirms that our approach is delivering real, measurable impact for people and the planet.”
Every aspect of The Red Sea from design and operations to conservation efforts and community impact has been independently evaluated by third-party auditors, said a statement.
In its report, EarthCheck highlighted several areas where RSG is outperforming global best-practice benchmarks. These include strong performance in energy efficiency and greenhouse gas emissions, supported by the developer’s commitment to powering the destination with renewable energy around the clock.
The destination’s water conservation measures also stood out, with minimal irrigation requirements for landscaping contributing to significant savings. Additionally, waste management practices were recognised, with levels of waste sent to landfill found to be nearly 75% better than EarthCheck’s best-practice benchmark.
Beyond environmental performance, the audit emphasised initiatives aimed at supporting local communities. These include upskilling and education programmes such as the English for Tourism Programme, designed to equip residents with skills for careers in the tourism sector.
EarthCheck also noted the impact of RSG’s Jewar app, a 2-way communication platform that connects residents with job opportunities, events, and community programmes, while also enabling them to share feedback and perspectives.
