Launched in 2021, the Atlantis Atlas Project is our commitment to do business in ways that are good for both people and planet. It brings together everything we do across responsible operations, conservation, education and community into one long-term strategy with measurable goals.​

OUR FOUR PILLARS

The Atlantis Atlas Project

Every initiative, every decision and every investment at Atlantis Dubai is guided by four core pillars that keep us accountable to people and planet.

Atlas Project Pillar
RESPONSIBLE OPERATIONS

Running a resort the right way

Managing energy, water and natural resources across the destination, led by our Green Committee of senior leaders accountable for measurable progress.​

Atlas Project Pillar
CONSERVATION & WELFARE

Protecting what matters most

Home to 65,000 marine animals, we are committed to gold-standard animal care and wellbeing while supporting conservation through research, education, and partnerships.​

Atlas Project Pillar
EDUCATION & AWARENESS

Learning that lasts

Inspiring people with the knowledge and skills to protect our oceans and natural world through education, hands-on experiences, and opportunities to connect with marine conservation.​

Atlas Project Pillar
PEOPLE & CULTURE

Better for our communities

We support local communities, colleagues and social enterprises as part of a broader commitment to economic and social responsibility across the UAE.​

THE CONTRIBUTION PROGRAMME

Every experience makes a difference.​

Every marine animal experience and a portion of proceeds from Green Events help fund impactful conservation and sustainability projects. Since 2021, the programme has raised over US$500,000 to support measurable conservation outcomes.​

Atlantis Organic Food
RESPONSIBLE SOURCING

Over 100 responsibly sourced dishes

Menus across the destination offer dishes featuring local, organic or certified sustainable produce including full traceability of contracted seafood from sea to serving.​
