Inside the BIOSCORE Seal: Understanding Our Sustainability Certification

Choosing a holiday that aligns with your values shouldn’t feel complicated. If you care about traveling lightly, the BIOSCORE seal at Camping Platja Cambrils makes it simple to see how your stay supports the planet. In this guide, we unpack what the BIOSCORE seal is, what it measures, and how our audited practices—from CO₂ reductions to resource efficiency—translate into a more conscious, respectful and sustainable camping experience in harmony with our territory on the Costa Daurada.

What is the BIOSCORE seal?

The BIOSCORE seal is a sustainability certification that validates a company’s performance across environmental, social and governance (ESG) dimensions. It independently audits practices such as CO₂ emissions, efficiency in the use of energy and water resources, correct waste management, responsible catering, and corporate social responsibility. For guests, this means our claims are measured against clear criteria and a commitment to transparency and continuous improvement.

Quick definition (for featured snippets)

• The BIOSCORE seal is an ESG sustainability certification that audits: CO₂ emissions, energy and water efficiency, waste management, responsible catering, and corporate social responsibility.

What BIOSCORE evaluates at Camping Platja Cambrils

Our certification confirms that we are working within a responsible, sustainable tourism model integrated into our natural environment and respectful of the planet. Here’s how BIOSCORE’s scope applies to our campsite:

Environmental criteria

• CO₂ emissions: We monitor and reduce our greenhouse-gas footprint, including through on-site renewable energy generation.
• Energy efficiency: We improve how energy is used across facilities to cut waste and lower our overall demand.
• Water efficiency: We enhance how water is used to conserve a vital resource across daily operations.
• Correct waste management: We apply processes that handle waste responsibly to protect the environment and keep shared spaces clean.

Social and governance criteria

• Responsible catering: Our food service adopts practices that reduce environmental impact and encourage responsible choices.
• Corporate social responsibility (CSR): We contribute to social welfare, operate with transparency, and pursue continuous improvement over time.

These audited criteria allow us to offer guests a stay that is more conscious, respectful, and sustainable—without compromising comfort.

Our renewable energy in action: a photovoltaic solar plant

One of the most visible pillars of our environmental action is our on-site photovoltaic solar plant:

• Installed capacity: 162.84 kWp
• Annual net renewable production: more than 216,000 kWh
• Share of campsite electricity covered: 31%
• Estimated CO₂ emissions avoided each year: more than 100 tons

This project has been partially financed through NextGenerationEU as part of the European Union’s Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan. It strengthens our commitment to energy self-consumption, ecological transition, and the fight against climate change.

In practical terms, on-site solar means a significant portion of the electricity that powers your holiday comes from clean, renewable sources produced right here.
