ENVIRONMENT

Energy savings are undoubtedly the fastest, most cost-effective and most effective way to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions due to their use.

Our goal is to reduce energy consumption without affecting the comfort conditions of visitors with the ultimate goal of saving money and protecting the environment.

• We investigate and evaluate alternatives to energy savings
• Use of low energy technology
• Replacement plan for old equipment
• Staff training on the correct use of electricity
• Implement a wash on demand policy
• Change bed linen when required
• Using an energy management system to control the heating, air conditioning and lighting systems in guest rooms
• Check for electrical appliances in empty rooms

Water saving and the rational management of water resources, above all, the cultivation of a new culture in relation to water management is imperative. Water use is a very important environmental aspect and that is why we are trying every year to be consistent with our commitment to the environment.

• Installation of flow control devices for the rational use of water
• Training staff on proper water management
• Growing specific plant species that are in harmony with local climate change
• Irrigation of the green using the drip method
• Placement and presence of sanitary items with allowable amounts of water consumption (toilets, showers, low water flow taps)
• Reuse policy for towels and bed linen in the rooms
•  Washing of linen from an outside partner
• Proper control and maintenance of the pool
• Continuous control for leakage repair

Proper waste management in an environmentally friendly way is vital to the business. To this end, we should all contribute, as well as staff and customers, as their rational management is an integral part of sustainable development and, on the other hand, minimizes the adverse impact on society and the environment. Recycling is a process that is applied to the hotel in all its departments and is part of its philosophy.

• Restriction of packaging materials by buying more packaging products
• Purchase press for compressing recyclables
• Waste management - recycling (paper, glass, plastic, toner, burned oil, etc.)
• Proper quantity management in proportion to the number of customers
• Use of electronic systems instead of paper for business purposes
• Staff training for proper waste management and recycling
• Application in a restaurant and kitchen of the F.I.F.O.
• Minimize disposable products
• Use of soap dispensers in the bathrooms of the rooms
• Limiting the use of disposable plastic bags
• Inform visitors about environmental issues and about the recycling program that is being implemented at the hotel through a series of events.
