The hotel’s commitments
View the Environmental Charter
In order to continually meet the demands of European Ecolabel certification and to uphold the values on which the business is built, the management and staff at the hotel have put in place an action plan spread over two years, with the aim of reducing the consumption of water, gas and electricity, and the amount of waste produced.
For this reason the hotel has fitted its rooms with:
• low energy lighting (compact fluorescent and LED bulbs)
• tap systems with aerators allowing a reduction in the flow of water
• sensors which automatically switch off the air-conditioning when the windows are opened
• a card system for the automatic switching on and off of the lights
• complimentary products without individual or excessive packaging in keeping with strict environmental standards
The rooms and bathrooms are cleaned exclusively with products which meet environmental standards. Certified as carrying the European Ecolabel these products allow us to use only the amount of water that is absolutely necessary.
Products served on the breakfast buffet, as well as some being certified, are selected according to certain criteria (choice and quantity of the product) in order to limit waste and the excess production of rubbish.
All our staff make a point of separating rubbish and switching off all lights and appliances left on unnecessarily. They have also been trained to work together to control and limit their ecological footprint. Equally, the staff are an integral part of the “new quality” that we aim to offer guests, and which is present in our values of authenticity, conviviality and respect for others.
Consistent with this, the garden has been cultivated using natural methods and is equipped with a rainwater collection system and lit by extremely low energy LEDs (1 watt).
When it comes to the running of the hotel, particular effort has been made to reduce stationery consumption (recycled paper, refillable toner cartridges) and deal with harmful waste.
Additionally, we aim to promote other approved products such as those labelled AB (organic) or Max Havelaar (fairtrade), which contribute both to the quality of service we provide, as well as to your well-being and that of many others, for example:
In the rooms:
• duvets made from cotton supplied by a fairtrade company (Max Havelaar)
• shower gel and soap with the European Ecolabel
• courtesy trays containing products sourced from fairtrade companies (in certain room categories)
At breakfast:
• a selection of teas and coffees sourced from fairtrade companies (Max Havelaar)
• organic muesli and cereals (certified AB)
• organic jams, compotes and spreads (certified AB)
Also:
• a selection of organic wines (certified AB or Demeter)
