Paris hotels in the PCVB’s sustainability programme
Locations of hotels that have signed the PCVB’s Charter for Sustainable Accommodation in Paris.
To meet the expectations of visitors keen on responsible tourism, the Paris Convention and Visitors Bureau is encouraging Paris hotels to undertake a sustainable approach to operations through its programme 'For Sustainable Accommodation in Paris'. Through an audit following a visit to the establishment and themed workshops, hoteliers are helped to enhance sustainability: environmental, social and societal.
Launched in June 2012, the Charter for Sustainable Accommodation in Paris has 467 signatories. These hotels commit to making their best effort to:
- Promote sustainable development goals, whether in terms of in-house management or vis-à-vis everyone they have dealings with (transparency, ethics, compliance with laws, respect for human rights, etc.);
- Reduce water and energy use;
- Reduce and recycle waste;
- Implement an eco-responsible purchasing policy;
- Make suppliers and staff aware of sustainability policies;
- Inform guests of sustainability goals and encourage guests to participate in green effort during their stay;
- Welcome disabled (physical, sensory or mental) guests in the best possible conditions and offer them appropriate information on accessibility to tourism establishments and activities;
- Improve working conditions for staff, and their wellbeing at work;
- Promote the natural and cultural heritage of the Paris region;
- Measure progress; durably implement and publicize their policy.
