Polaris and its Environment

Awareness is fundamental to protect the environment and preserve the ecosystem in our region. With the purpose of anticipating client needs, the company decided to build a desalination plant that will produce over 56,000 m3 of water per day, enough to supply over 200,000 people for an entire year. This in-house system will also provide enough water to meet the additional needs of regional tourism.

The entire process will also be supplemented with resident wastewater treatment, and subsequent use for green area and golf course irrigation. A selection of low water consumption herb varieties will assist in the optimisation of this resource, and in protecting the environment.

Moreover, a reservoir at La Torre Golf Resort, and water canalisation systems at Hacienda Riquelme Golf Resort are currently under construction. These projects are intended to preserve the environment, and to make the most of our available resources.

Polaris World represents an important contribution to the region as the numbers reveal: over 5,000 employees and a turnover of 600 million euros for 2005. It contributes wealth to the regions in which it invests, with utmost respect for the environment at all times. Rather than transient contributions, the company is always focused on creating a future over the long-term. Furthermore, the heavy investment the firm makes in major advertising campaigns benefits the global awareness of the Murcia region, making it many people´s favourite holiday destination.

Minimum ecosystem impact is ensured by the low density horizontal building model, and by construction on ecologically non-sensitive lots removed from the coastline. Polaris World is committed to sustainable development.
