QUALITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY

Majestic Hotel & Spa Barcelona is the first and so far the only 5-star Deluxe hotel in Spain with certificates ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015 and EMAS

Certification ISO9001:2015+

(Spanish Normative – European Normative -International Standards Organization): “Systems of Quality Management”

The ISO 9001 is an international normative for the management of businesses that guarantees that customer needs are met adequately. The management of this quality system is the ideal framework for the supervision and improvement of any service.

In terms of quality, it is the most widely established and best known normative. However, it is not just applicable to the Management of Quality Systems, but to any system in general.

The ISO 9001 helps to improve the internal working of any organization and to set it apart from any competitor in the sector that does not use it. Besides, this certificate facilitates performance evaluation, risk management and the involvement of employees thanks to improved internal communication.

The audit of the quality management system focuses on the operative process. This is an incentive for the improvement of services and product quality. The ongoing evaluation-visits can promptly detect any deficiency in the employees’ abilities or any problem that may affects team work.

The structure of the ISO 9001, based on plan, do, check and act, ensures that customer needs are better known and taken into account.

EMAS Regulation+

Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS)

The Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS) is an E.U. voluntary normative which acknowledges organizations that, like our own, have implemented an Environmental Management System (EMS) and are committed to ongoing improvements verifiable by independent auditors.

Hotel Majestic meets this normative and, therefore, it has a clearly defined environmental policy; making use of an environmental management system and reporting periodically about its performance via an environmental declaration form that is then verified by independent auditors.

The main aim of EMAS is to promote improvements in the pro-environmental behaviour of hotels on an ongoing basis by means of the establishment and implementation of environmental management systems; the evaluation of those systems in a methodical, objective and periodical manner; the media coverage of pro-environmental results; the establishment of an open dialogue between the public and other parties involved; and the active involvement of the organizations’ staff as well as their proper training.

Certification ISO 14001:2015+

UNE-EN ISO 14001:2015

The ISO 14001 is an international normative for the establishment of an effective system of environmental management. This normative was designed to strike a balance between profitability and the minimization of any negative environmental impact.

Once implemented, this set of procedures on environmental management will affect all aspects of hotel management in terms of environmental responsibility and, therefore, all environmental matters will be dealt with systematically in order to improve pro-environmental behaviour. The ISO 14001 focuses on the organization itself; providing a set of standards based on the procedures and guidelines that a hotel must use to create and maintain a system of environmental management.

This normative improves internal communication and, in term, this makes teams feel more motivated, mainly thanks to their own suggestions regarding environmental improvements. On the other hand, periodical evaluations ensure that there is always room for supervision and improvement of the pro-environmental performance of the company. Finally, the implementation of normative ISO 14001 shows that the organization meets a series of legal requirements.

To summaries, product & service compliance with international normative ensures their quality, safety and reliability.
