Waste Management

Objectives

At Hotel Centre-Ville, we are committed to managing our waste responsibly by reducing the amount of waste generated, increasing the recycling rate, and promoting the reuse of materials. Our goal is to minimize the environmental impact of our operations and contribute to the circular economy.

Guiding Principles

Source Reduction
We strive to minimize waste production from the design phase of our products and services by choosing sustainable materials, optimizing manufacturing processes, and promoting solutions that generate less waste. We work closely with local businesses during renovations to maximize waste valorization.

Reuse
We encourage the reuse of materials and products by extending their life cycle through repair, refurbishment, and resale initiatives. When refurbishment is not possible, we prioritize donating items or furniture, carefully selecting the beneficiary organizations.

Recycling
We are committed to maximizing the recycling of all waste generated by our activities by rigorously sorting recyclable materials and others. Recycling bins have been added in guest rooms, and sorting stations are available for guests in common areas.

Key Actions

Waste Audits
Conduct regular audits to identify sources of waste, evaluate opportunities for reduction, reuse, and recycling, and implement corrective actions.

Elimination of Single-Use Products
We have made the bold decision to eliminate single-use products. This initiative reflects our commitment to reducing our ecological footprint by eliminating unnecessary waste and promoting reusable and sustainable alternatives. By prioritizing more environmentally friendly solutions, we contribute not only to the protection of our planet but also to encouraging a more responsible lifestyle for our employees, guests, and the community as a whole.

Employee Training
Regularly train and educate employees on best practices for waste management, including source sorting, reducing consumables, and responsible resource use.

Partnerships
Collaborate with suppliers and service providers who share our commitment to waste management and offer innovative solutions for reducing, reusing, and recycling.

Monitoring and Evaluation
Implement performance indicators to track the progress of our waste management efforts.

Community Engagement

We are also committed to raising awareness among our guests and partners about the importance of responsible waste management. Through communication campaigns and educational initiatives, we promote waste reduction and recycling practices within the communities where we operate.

Continuous Improvement

We are committed to regularly reviewing our waste management practices, taking into account feedback, technological innovations, and regulatory changes, to continually improve our sustainability performance.
