Sustainability has been defined at the 1992 UN Conference on Environment and Development in Rio de Janeiro as ‘meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs’.

 

We believe that there is an increasing need for businesses to become economically, socially and environmentally responsible as our continued existence is reliant on our environment.

 

The sustainable business practices are at the core of our daily routine and by adhering to them we protect the very reason why guests come in the first place.

 

The practices that we follow are described underneath:

 

• Our mattresses come from Coco-mat, the leading company in eco-natural products which produce comfortable, luxury and innovative mattresses made of eco-friendly and recyclable materials.

• Our pillow menu by Coco-mat offers pillows made of natural and recyclable materials.

• Our linens are produced from 100% fine cotton.

 

• We use solar power for the production of hot water.

• We use key cards needed for room power.

• We use low-consumption illumination LED bulbs for maximum energy saving.

• We have developed energy conservation plans with specific tactics for operating optimally including topics like lighting schedules.

 

• We implement the linen and towel reuse program in order to reduce the use of water, energy and detergents.

• All our planting has been carefully chosen to provide the necessary aesthetics but also requires low frequency and quantity of watering.

 

• While variability in municipal infrastructure presents challenges, we strive to reduce waste and increase recycling rates.

• We use soap dispensers in public WCs.

 

• We co-operate with APIVITA cosmetics that combines naturally derived active ingredients, extracts from plants of the Greek nature, beehive products of high nutritional value, and organic essential oils. APIVITA’s formulations contain 85-100%, natural ingredients ranging which do not contain silicones, parabens, mineral oil, propylene glycol, polycyclic musks, nitromusks, phthalates, as well as other ingredients that have been associated with adverse effects on health or the environment.

 

• We recognize the importance of safer products for guests and employees as well as the environment, therefore we use cleaning products that are environmentally friendly. By using these cleaning agents, we are reducing the use of products with chlorine bleach and petrochemical derivatives. These more natural products are less irritating to guests and employees and less destructive to the environment.

 

• We contribute to the community´s development by supporting local businesses.

• We promote the consumption of local and ecologic products.
