Corporate Social Responsibility - 2011: Les Roches Marbella has been awarded Corporate Social Responsibility  Certification in Management Systems SGE-21 by Forética and Bureau Veritas for complying with international ethical and social responsibility standards.

LES ROCHES MARBELLA IMPLEMENTS CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM ACCORDING TO THE STANDARD SGE 21:2008

Les Roches Marbella wants to actively lead this initiative in Spain and not only as a statement of intent

Hotel Management involves a marked character of hospitality and service to others in continuous interaction with the client and society; therefore, it is essential to know not only their needs and expectations, but also its evolution over time in order to fulfill them. The development of "social sensitivity” becomes a crucial factor. 
 
Since 2010/2011 Les Roches Marbella embraces Social Responsibility according to the standard SGE 21:2008 taking a further step towards corporate excellence.
 
 
Adherence to this initiative is part of the strategic policy of Les Roches Marbella’s activity involving various projects for action and pursuit of continuous improvement. The focus of management is not only about the satisfaction of students and customers or the protection of the environment, but goes beyond, seeking to create value in society. Therefore, Les Roches Marbella tries to instill the desire and ability to contribute to improving society in its graduates.
 
Les Roches Marbella maintains ISO 9001:2008 Quality Certification and ISO 14001:2004 Environmental Certification in Management Systems for complying with international quality and environmental standards.
