At Bonmont there is a firm commitment to protecting the environment. To that end, a whole series of initiatives has been developed, including the adoption of Environmental Monitoring Programme for all construction work which helps minimise the impact on residents and ensures that sound environmental practices are used. A Biodiversity Action Plan has also been instigated, which involves the naturalization of 20 hectares of land adjoining the golf course, planting native species of vegetation and protecting wildlife.

In order to reduce water consumption, a new tertiary water treatment plant is under construction, which will provide irrigation water for the golf course.

Amongst other measures, work on the implementation of an Energy Saving Plan in the Clubhouse and associated facilities is also under way and will involve permanent energy saving measures to improve energy efficiency and the incorporation of renewable energy sources.

MedGroup believes that the principles of sustainability and respect for the environment and natural surroundings are of prime importance to everything it does. To this end, it has set up its own Environmental and Social Responsibility Department, the aims of which are:

• The creation of a model for sustainable development and construction.
  
• To contribute to property designs that take all environmental issues into consideration and feature the latest innovations in the field.
  
• To foster awareness amongst its suppliers and construction companies regarding the implementation and compliance with environmental standards and social responsibility guidelines.
  
• To work closely with all departments within the company to ensure that appropriate levels of respect for the natural and social surroundings are maintained throughout planning, urban development, construction and maintenance processes.
  
• To take part in research initiatives and exchange experiences relating to property development and/or sustainable building practices.
  
• To undertake research into the economic, social and environmental impact of its developments in collaboration with the R&D departments of universities and professional institutions.
