Under the auspices of the Ministry of Environment and energy and with the help of ADEME, a program about environment ethic has been settled for the tourism accommodation.
Groupe PVG and all its establishments, whom are already using ecological materials in everyday tasks, immediately enrolled this program.
Hotel Imperial Palace obtains its first environmental label.
It has been several years that Imperial Palace is active concerning sustainable development, meaning that everyone (employees and guests) is involved in environmental actions.
And this approach is paying off, because the hotel obtained its first environmental label. A great award that shows the real engagement that Groupe PVG has in favor of the planet.
A lot of actions have been done about environment preservation inside the hotel. A boxes compactor had been added to the waste sorting; all of the technical managing has been centralized in order to electronically optimize the energetic needs of the whole building.
All the rooms are equipped with a key-card case which has different use: turn off/on the lights and the technologic apparels only when the card is plugged in. Heating and air conditioning stopped when a window is open. Watering places (bathroom sinks, baths, and showers) are equipped with flow controller. The hotel is also equipped with moving detector and low voltage bulbs. Furthermore the maintenance and housekeeping is done using environmental friendly products.
The guests are also requested to be active in that program; bath towels are changed only if they ask and bed linen is changed every two days on the same system.
Kitchen is at the heart of this environmental friendly program. Our Chefs only use local and seasonal products coming from biological agriculture as soon as possible. Furthermore, a recycling system has been settled inside the employee’s canteen and will be soon extended to all the hotel restaurants.
New measures are already on the way in order to strengthen the Imperial Palace environmental program; next step is to obtain an international label.
