Environmental Policy

Recognizing our share of responsibility for the protection of the environment, we are committed to providing high quality services with respect for the environment. Specifically:

• We embrace 9 of UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals
• We ensure the application of current environmental legislation and relevant regulations
• We set environmental goals, adopt processes and implement practices to achieve them, taking into account the rational management of natural resources and minimization of environmental pressure. We track progress by creating sustainability reports on an annual basis, reviewing the performance of our goals and approving new or modifying older ones based on our effectiveness
• We evaluate our performance and results by conducting audits and measurements and new goals are set for the continuous improvement of our environmental behaviour by updating the sustainability report
• We contribute to raising awareness and ensure spreading of information about the environmental commitments of the resort, to all stakeholders including the management, staff, guests, suppliers and local community
• We organise training sessions on our environmental practices for all stakeholders, including management and staff, ensuring compliance
• We inform guests about our environmental commitments and encourage their active participation in environmentally friendly actions
• We prefer local producers as much as possible supporting the local economy, reducing our environmental footprint

Implementing the Environmental policy

In order to decrease water consumption, achieve energy efficiency and carbon footprint reduction the following practices are in place:

• Solar energy is used for a part of our operations
• LED lighting and motion sensors have been installed indoors and in common areas
• Key fob security systems have been installed in all rooms to avoid energy use at guests’ absence
• Wireless units monitor doors and windows, deactivating air conditioners in the rooms when they are open
• A towel and bed linen reuse system is in place and guests are encouraged to participate
• Dishwashers operate when loaded on their maximum capacity
• Automatic watering system is used to water plants in early morning hours
• Dual flush toilets have been installed
• A waste reduction and recycling increase program is implemented
• Used cooking oil is collected by a certified company
• Sustainable products are selected such as eco-friendly straws and reusable ashtrays

Continuous improvement and sustainable practices thrill us, therefore a plethora of eco-friendly applications are on the way.
