The Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya, as a tourist destination, has assumed the commitments of Corporate Social Responsibility, those of Biosphere Sustainable Tourism, and those of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG-Agenda 2030).

Corporate Social Responsibility Certificate

The Museu Nacional considers its relationship with society, with its users, suppliers, sponsors and other museums and cultural institutions, as well as with its surroundings and its responsibility to the environment, beyond what is stipulated by law.

The Museu Nacional obtained the Social Responsibility certificate (IQNet SR10), the first public cultural institution and museum in Spain to do so.

Barcelona Biosphere Commitment to Sustainability in Tourism Certificate

This certification aims to create and develop a culture of sustainability and inclusion [1]. The Museu Nacional obtained this certification [2] in 2018.

The Biosphere system was created in 1997 by the Responsible Tourism Institute (RTI) from a group of academics, professionals and sustainability experts, with a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with UNESCO, to transmit the United Nations guidelines in an easy and adapted way in order to achieve lifestyles and life models in accordance with the global principles and objectives of sustainability.
