Why is Morena Resort partnering with Water Refill Program Curaçao?

As the first certified ECO resort on Curacao (2009) we encountered a lot of struggles in our certification processes, because Curacao was behind on a lot of things. The innovative and so much needed initiatives from as well D-Tap as Green Phenix, make it possible for companies/hotels/resorts to really improve in being sustainable, and they create the awareness on the island which is much needed.

 

Since the start of D-Tap we are selling the D-Bottles to our guests and we are one of the refill stations on the island. The Water Refill Program supports in minimizing the use of single use plastic but also creates island wide awareness, which is being supported by different partners. This collaboration of partners from different branches creates a strong platform, that together with the adaption of the different SDG’s by each partner will have a big impact.

Water Refill Program Curaçao and Morena Resort forces to adopt a sustainble goal together

The 'Water Refill Program Curaçao' started out as a pilot in June 2019. During the lockdown, D-TAP Foundation has converted their findings into a renewed policy. Through the 'Water Refill Program', there is a broader commitment to a more sustainable Curaçao, both short term and long term. The Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations became the compass of the program.

 

Core values of the program are:
1. Environmental protection

2. Social development

3. Economic Development
