Our Green Key® Label
Our Go Green approach

Our Residence is eco-labeled Clef Verte®.

Because we sincerely believe that true luxury has no reason to exist if it is produced to the detriment of Nature and People, we are committed to practicing our professions with respect for the environment.

So, every year we set new objectives to further reduce our impact on the environment, the health of our customers and our teams, and the community around us.

Our environmental approach
Since its opening in 2010, the Residence has led an environmental policy concerned with protecting and developing its natural environment. Located in the heart of an exceptional natural site, the Mont-Blanc Natural Resort, and a stone's throw from the Aiguilles Rouges Nature Reserve, our concerns are focused on the preservation of biodiversity, energy, water and Waste Management.

Our approach has been largely rewarded over the past 10 years by obtaining the international Clef Verte® label.

A strategy necessary to achieve these objectives has been put in place to raise awareness among our employees, our suppliers and our customers of the impact of their behavior on environmental issues.

Our environmental approach is one of the main areas of development, by 2023.

ENERGY
Our objective is to reduce the energy footprint as much as possible, raise awareness among our guests about the quality of clean air when they stay in Vallorcine and favor renewable energy sources over fossil fuels.
The Residence already achieves very good energy performance, as indicated by its annual electricity consumption.

Our efforts focus on controlling and reducing energy use, in order to reduce the impact on the environment and on energy bills.
The use of low-energy lighting fixtures and LED bulbs has become widespread throughout the establishment. LED bulbs have an average lifespan of 30,000 hours and emit very little heat compared to halogen or incandescent bulbs.

Presence detectors in all common areas allow an overall saving of 50% on the total cost.

The installation of a heat recovery system from the ice rink compressor allows the production of heat for the pool water.

Investment in solar energy: Since 2012, photovoltaic panels have been installed and allow us to resell the energy produced and offset part of our energy expenses.

THE BIODIVERSITY
The Residence seeks as much as possible to plant endemic species in its green spaces, which helps to preserve plant biodiversity.
The Clef Verte® label also guarantees control of the use of pesticides, which has a beneficial effect on biodiversity by minimizing the impact of these chemicals on native species.

THE WATER
Aware of the need to preserve water and the fact that hotel establishments are large consumers of it, the Residence has, since its opening, become aware of:
- Recycle rainwater
- Control and minimize consumption
- Limit chlorine consumption in the swimming pool


WASTE
A waste management system has been set up within the residence. We have thus optimized the waste collection process, while sorting at source and optimal distribution of recoverable materials to recycling subcontractors.


"We are not perfect, and there are still many things to accomplish. However, we sincerely believe in this approach, and we strive to do what we say, without ever taking the easy way out. Collaborators, customers, suppliers …all are aware of the responsibility that each of them holds, and we are happy and proud to be able to count on their support and sincere commitment” (Clotilde Hezez, Sales & Marketing Manager)
