Since its establishment in 2014, the Regent Porto Montenegro has dedicated itself to upholding sustainable practices while actively supporting the local community and preserving Montenegro's cultural heritage and way of life through cuisine, interior design, and communication campaigns. For their inspiring sustainability practices, the hotel has now been certified with Green Key.

Demonstrating their unwavering commitment to sustainability, the Regent Porto Montenegro offers internships to local students, to actively support the training and education of youth within the region. Besides that, it also organises a Winter Ball fundraising to help associations in need and sponsor the local sports clubs. With these activities, the establishment directly or indirectly contributes to the social sustainability of their enterprise by focusing their efforts on the needs of their community.
Moreover, the hotel proudly stood as one of the sponsors of the first Western Balkan ESG Summit, an influential regional event focused on environmental, social, and governance issues that took place in April 2023. The summit served as a platform for political leaders, government officials, industry experts, and investors to engage in interactive discussions on critical ESG themes such as sustainable finance, green transition and innovation, fostering awareness and promoting responsible business practices in the region. The conference gathered 450 participants from 150 regional companies.
The Regent Porto Montenegro is also one of the hosts of the much-awaited Regent Christmas Market, an event that provides Montenegrin artists with an opportunity to promote their art and crafts.

Kai Dieckmann, the General Manager of Regent Porto Montenegro, says:
"We take pride in maintaining our green footprint and striving for sustainable practices while prioritising the well-being of our staff and community. Through these efforts, we make a positive impact on the environment and create a better world for present and future generations. For us, this is truly the 'key' that shows that we invest in our team and that we lead the company in a very sustainable way.”
What sets the Regent Porto Montenegro apart is its team of green ambassadors, who not only uphold existing sustainability practices, but also bring new ideas and ambitions to make a difference. The staff members therefore actively engage with the municipality of Tivat to:
facilitate the collection of recycled waste, participate in community actions such as beach and park clean-ups,
utilise green areas around the hotel to plant aromatic plants, and
promote responsible behaviour to guests through messages in guestrooms focusing on recycling, energy, and water conservation, as well as smart towel and linen changing policies.
Finn Bolding Thomsen, Green Key International Director adds:
“We warmly welcome Regent Porto Montenegro to our global network of certified establishments, as their dedication to preserving Montenegro’s heritage and implementing sustainable actions sets a great example for the tourism industry.”
