In an effort to respond to the challenges of the 2021 season and ensure that all necessary health, safety and hygiene conditions are in place for the upcoming tourist season, Plava Laguna has chosen the global certification company Bureau Veritas to implement the SAFEGUARD verification program for risk prevention and health protection. “Our main priority is our guest’s and employees’ safety. This internationally accepted certificate will serve as a guarantee to our guests, making them feel safe while staying in our facilities,” Plava Laguna representatives said.

Plava Laguna has successfully started the certification process, which will eventually include all of its 30-plus facilities. All facilities will be certified in line with the requirements of the SAFEGUARD risk prevention and health protection program. Plava Laguna has thus joined a select group of international businesses that have used the program to reinforce their own responsibility and commitment to protecting the health of their guests, employees, and other stakeholders during this ongoing pandemic.

The purpose of the Bureau Veritas SAFEGUARD program is the provision of independent audits to check and control whether all necessary health, safety and hygiene standards have been established. The SAFEGUARD program includes all the requirements that are necessary for  compliance with hygiene practices, social distancing, and all other government recommendations and relevant regulations applicable at the time of the audits for controlling the risk of COVID-19 infection.

Founded in 1828, Bureau Veritas is a global leader in testing, inspection, and certification processes. Their aim is to provide its clients with all necessary services to ensure that they achieve, maintain, and verify their compliance with the standards of international quality, health and safety, environmental protection, and social responsibility. So far, more than 400,000 companies around the world have recognized Bureau Veritas as their reliable certification partner, making it one of the world’s leading certification companies.

“This year, Plava Laguna has also joined the Safe Stay in Croatia project, implemented by the country’s Ministry of Tourism and Sports. Still, by making an additional investment in obtaining a world-renowed certificate, we wish to show both our guests and our employees that their safety and health are our priority,” Plava Laguna representatives concluded.
