Environmental Display

Environmental labeling, launched on January 6, 2017, makes it possible to guide the choices of consumers, who are increasingly sensitive to the environment, and to encourage manufacturers to make eco-design efforts.

A multi-criteria ecological score

In the hotel sector, establishments are voluntary to assess and communicate to their customers the environmental footprint of the night spent at the hotel. In concrete terms, four environmental indicators are entered and determine an overall score between A and E, A being the best score:

• the impact on the climate;
• water consumption;
• the consumption of non-renewable resources;
• the share of organic or eco-labeled products in hotel supplies.

Awarded for a period of 3 years, the environmental label invites hotels to commit to actions to be implemented to improve over time.

The more the hotel commits, the more its rating progresses!
