ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
At The Hotel, we are fully committed to reducing our environmental impact and promoting sustainable practices. We have integrated green metrics into our performance measures, ensuring that environmental considerations are at the forefront of our operations. To minimize energy waste, our engineering installations are equipped with energy recovery systems, maximizing efficiency and reducing our carbon footprint. We take pride in our environmental certifications, including the prestigious Green Key certification since 2019, BREEAM certification since 2022, and the Good Food certification in 2022, highlighting our dedication to sustainable operations and responsible food practices. With these initiatives, we strive to create a more eco-friendly and sustainable future for our guests and the planet.
We have taken significant steps to support sustainable transportation options. Our parking facility features six electric vehicle charging stations, encouraging guests to choose eco-friendly transportation during their stay. Additionally, our convenient location offers easy access to public transportation, with a mere three-minute walk to nearby transit options. By providing these sustainable alternatives, we strive to minimize CO2 emissions and contribute to a greener future for our guests and the environment.
To encourage responsible water usage, we provide in-room collaterals that kindly request guests to skip housekeeping services when not needed and to reuse their towels during their stay. These small actions can make a significant impact on water conservation. Furthermore, we have implemented a sophisticated system to quickly detect and localize any leaks within our premises, enabling us to take immediate action and minimize water waste. With these initiatives, we aim to promote sustainable water management and contribute to the preservation of this precious resource.
We are proud to share that 90% of the products used for cleaning are chemical-free, ensuring a healthier and greener environment for everyone. In addition, we utilize advanced cleaning systems such as Raypath and Enozo, which are 0 chemical systems, further reducing our impact on the environment. To empower our guests to participate in our sustainability efforts, we offer the option to skip housekeeping services and reuse towels, reducing water and energy consumption.
To reduce food waste, we have implemented effective measures such as eliminating buffets for meetings with less than 20 people, opting for personalized and seasonal recipes that reduce excess food. Our innovative Winnow system allows us to precisely measure and categorize waste food, enabling us to identify areas for improvement and make informed decisions. We are proud to partner with 'Too Good To Go' to distribute any excess food to those in need, ensuring it does not go to waste. Throughout the hotel, we have implemented selective waste sorting bins, making it convenient for guests and staff to participate in our sustainable waste management efforts. Additionally, in our bathrooms, we have installed big pumps for soap and shampoo, minimizing single-use plastic waste.
