The Grupo Arliz’s properties in the Azores Archipelago today reflect its commitment to an increasingly responsible and conscious management model, in which sustainability plays a cross-cutting role in decision-making and operations.

For the fourth consecutive year, The Lince Nordeste has renewed its international Green Key certification, one of the leading sustainability distinctions in the tourism sector. Awarded by the Blue Flag Association for Environment and Education (ABAAE), the award recognizes establishments that meet a demanding set of environmental and social criteria, promoting the adoption of best management practices, the responsible use of resources, and raising awareness of more sustainable behaviors.

At The Lince Nordeste, this commitment has been present since the very conception of the development, which was designed according to a model that seeks to minimize the impact on the surrounding environment and respect the principles of environmental, economic, and cultural sustainability. The distinction thus recognizes an approach that seeks to reconcile service excellence with a responsible relationship with the local area, while also involving employees and guests in adopting more environmentally conscious practices.

In turn, The Lince Azores was named a Green Company® 2026, a distinction that recognizes the facility’s commitment to adopting environmental practices, continuous improvement, and the integration of sustainability criteria into its operations. This distinction reinforces a vision in which business development must go hand in hand with environmental responsibility, promoting a more efficient use of resources and more mindful management of consumption.

These distinctions reflect a strategy that goes beyond reducing emissions and resource consumption, also integrating social and economic dimensions, valuing local resources, fostering relationships with communities, and adopting responsible practices throughout operations. In the Azores, the Grupo Arliz and The Lince Hotels thus seek to establish a presence grounded in a balance between development, the local territory, and the preservation of the resources that make this archipelago unique.
