Green Hotel – Concrete Actions
A greener world, together we can
Ibis Styles Palermo President assumes it is right to deploy their forces and to adopt appropriate behaviors in order to contribute to the planet defense, without sacrificing comfort.
We have implemented a series of "green" choices with the aim of limiting the environmental impact, because even small attentions and awareness of our customers can make a difference.
Our choices as green hotel
APP "TO GOOD TO GO"
We like to imagine a world without food waste and ibis Styles Palermo President is proud to contribute by joining Too Good To Go, the app that allows you to save unsold food. It is possible to do something good for our planet: Up to May 2022 we saved 520 meals and we spared 1,300 kg of CO2E.
WASTE COLLECTION
We support a policy of separate waste collection with special containers in the hotel. We carefully manage the disposal of printer toners as well.
LIFESTYLE
We promote physical activity, by inviting our customers to discover our decorative murals of internal stairs: in addition to the artistic aspect, they offer interesting hints for reflection about psycho-physical well-being.
APP "SMART TOUCH MENÙ"
For the management of our restaurant menus, we have chosen to offer an entirely digital experience, eliminating paper menus. A way to offer a safe, easy-to-consult service and help protect the environment. Just download the Smart Touch Menu app, scan the QR code and, without wasting any paper, have our entire gastronomic offer available.
PLASTIC REDUCTION AND USE OF ECO-RESPONSIBLE PRODUCTS
We have been considerably reducing the use of plastic, decreasing waste and we are also working to further optimize our interventions.
We choose eco-friendly products such as Ecolabel toilet paper and, for the cleaning of our hotel, we rely on ecological and biodegradable products, by eliminating chemical detergents.
PAPER RECYCLING
The staff embraces the green philosophy: where possible, we choose to recycle paper and limit the printing of documents, if not necessary.
LOCAL PRODUCTS
For our foodservice, we rather choose, as far as possible, seasonal and traditional products and raw materials at Km 0, which are eco-friendly and let us support local economies.
We also offer the option to take away any leftover food on the table, avoiding waste.
ENERGY
We monitor and record total consumption through a series of measures:
- using energy-saving lamps;
- using presence sensors and intensity regulators;
- a centralized on/off system, programmable thermostat, timer;
- using magnetic cards
BIKE AND SCOOTER RENTAL
Discover the city and its surroundings in an eco-sustainable way through the use of bikes and scooters, which can be easily rented. A way to stop the car and let our guests experience an active holiday on two wheels.
Environmental Awareness
We want to raise awareness in our customers about sustainable development.
Moreover, with constant communication through social and web channels, we post news, updates, implemented actions and obtained certifications.
NEXT STEPS:
In short and medium term, ibis Styles Palermo President aims new goals:
- installing solar carpots in the parking area;
- using a carbon free hosting provider;
- promoting participation in environmental education activities;
- rewarding customers who adopt sustainable behaviours;
- creating its own environmental management system in order to acquire an EU certification;
- having an innovative menu that includes the carbon footprint of food, calories ingested and the necessary motor activity to burn them.
