Gourmet Hotel

Whether it involves global warming, the reduction of inequality or economic development, modern man has found the answer for everything: « It's simple, we just have to practice sustainable development ». Behind this magical concept for our communication champions hides a real challenge for our future, the true value of which must be considered.

« Sustainable development is development that allows us to satisfy our current needs without compromising the ability of future generations to satisfy theirs ». « Sustainable development aims to foster a state of harmony between human beings and between man and nature ».

In plain language here are our achievements and actions taken over the last few months:

• The 'precautionary principle', respecting FASFC standards, our purchasing policy favouring fresh local produce, European wines, local beers, etc…
   
• Social responsibilities (racial and sexual equality, equal opportunities, equity, dignity, human rights and promoting training on the job, etc…)
   
• Considering the environment when making decisions (protecting flora and fauna, CO2 emissions, energy consumption, etc…) :
  
  
• We have been producing green electrical energy since the end of 2008, This amounts to 9,680 Wp a year with our solar panel roof system measuring almost 80m2.
   
• The investment made in October 2009 to install LED lighting for the outside car park and in the hotel hall have resulted in savings of almost 70%.
   
• We practice efficient waste management that respects the environment. Waste is sorted (glass, paper, cardboard, plastics, fats, etc.) and a compost area has been in use since the beginning of 2009.
   
• We use biodegradable soap in adapted quantities.
   
• We favour planting native species (hornbeam, beech, etc.) and our garden provides us with aromatic herbs for the kitchen, as well as raspberries and quinces, etc…
