Sustainability
Our commitment
Our hotel uses Stay For The Planet, LifeGate Impact’s platform to monitor the property’s environmental performance, understand our impacts, and identify opportunities to improve hotel management.
The areas assessed through Stay For The Planet are:
Energy: electricity and heating sources, fugitive emissions, fuels for the company fleet, energy efficiency of the building and equipment.
Water: water consumption by supply source, water-saving measures.
Waste: quantity and type of waste generated, disposal methods, and prevention actions.
Procurement: sourcing policies and environmental and social selection criteria.
Our sustainable approach
Our environmental strategy is implemented across multiple levels, through measurable and transparent actions:
Reducing environmental impact
We monitor energy and water consumption and adopt virtuous actions that have a positive impact on the environment, such as the use of energy-efficient lighting, the purchase of renewable energy and water saving. We are also committed to promoting separate waste collection among our customers and collaborators, by making special bins available in common areas (or on the floors).
Limiting the use of plastic
We aim to transform our hotel into a Plastic Less environment, eliminating, where possible, the use of single-use plastic or replacing it with certified biodegradable materials.
Sustainable purchases
We guide our purchasing decisions according to some fundamental principles:
- For food, we favor local and seasonal products, preferring those sold loose.
- We minimize packaging and choose products with recyclable packaging.
- We select products from companies committed to reducing their carbon footprint, verifying this commitment and the reliability of their eco-certifications.
- We inform all our suppliers of our sustainable choices.
Customer awareness
We believe sustainability is a shared commitment. Everyone can make a difference. We ask guests to adopt simple measures for a more sustainable stay, from reusing bed linens and towels to being mindful of water use, from using waste bins to encouraging guests to avoid wasting food during breakfast.
Environmental certification
We have obtained Green Key certification, a standard of excellence in sustainability in tourist hospitality.
A certificated commitment
