Okada Manila, the Philippines’ largest Forbes Five-Star integrated resort, has earned the Forbes Travel Guide VERIFIED™ Responsible Hospitality badge for the second consecutive year, reinforcing its commitment to delivering responsible luxury at the scale of an integrated resort. The distinction places Okada Manila among a select group of hospitality properties worldwide. Forbes Travel Guide lists 412 hotels globally with the VERIFIED Responsible Hospitality badge, including four properties in the Philippines. Okada Manila became the first integrated resort in the country to receive the distinction in 2025.

The badge recognizes properties that meet more than 100 stringent standards designed to protect the environment and support the well-being of employees, guests, and communities. The annual program covers waste management, energy efficiency, resource conservation, and responsible practices across front office, rooms, food and beverage, fitness, and spa operations, as well as community engagement, health security, and vendor selection.

Developed by Forbes Travel Guide in collaboration with hospitality sustainability expert Hervé Houdré, the program provides trusted third-party verification for guests and travel advisors. It recognizes responsible practices that support environmental and human well-being without compromising the guest experience.

“Earning the Forbes Travel Guide VERIFIED Responsible Hospitality badge for a second consecutive year affirms that responsible hospitality is not separate from luxury—it is an integral part of how we define excellence at Okada Manila,” said Nobuki Sato, President and Chief Operating Officer of Okada Manila.

“What makes this recognition particularly meaningful is the scale and diversity of our operations. Across our guest rooms, restaurants, extensive grounds, engineering systems, team member programs, and community partnerships, responsible practices are integrated into how we operate every day. This achievement belongs to our people, whose dedication enables us to deliver exceptional experiences while creating positive impact for the environment and the communities we serve.”
