The Sandals Foundation

What's the Sandals Foundation and what are we all about?

The Sandals Foundation is the philanthropic arm of Sandals Resorts International. It is the culmination of almost four decades of dedication to playing a meaningful role in the lives of the communities where we operate across the Caribbean.
Our company was born from the ethics and philosophies of our chairman, Gordon 'Butch' Stewart, who is above all a family man. Nothing means more.
To us family isn't just our blood-ties. It's our colleagues across our four brands and corporate offices too - the Sandals and Beaches family - and since the majority of our team come from our communities it stands to reason that we do all we can to make a difference in the Caribbean - because we're family.
By definition, our responsibilities to family reflect our corporate social responsibilities. We believe things can be better and we want to make them better. We believe we have contributed much through community outreach in the Caribbean over the years, but we want to do more. We know that as World's Best it's our plans, hard work, skills and innovations that put us there - but we have a responsibility to put them to work beyond our resorts too.

The Sandals Foundation is our way of better enabling us to take on more of what needs to be done in the islands where we operate by making the Caribbean the best that we can be. It is not just about gathering and spending money. We also harness our passion, energy, skills and brand power to tackle issues under three broad headings, Our Community Our Education Our Enviroment.
