Saving energy is one of Adagio’s top priorities. The construction of our buildings and their interior fixtures and fittings therefore meet rigorous environmental standards, e.g. PEFC-certified furniture, low-energy light bulbs, A-rated electrical appliances to maximise energy efficiency, circuit-breaker cards, etc.

• Turning off the lights and the air-conditioning when you leave your apartment.
• Switching off electrical appliances completely rather than leaving them on stand-by.
• Running the dishwasher and the washing machine only when fully loaded.

By sharing our beliefs, we can work together, and raise the awareness of our staff, our subcontractors and our clients as far as possible. Each year, we provide staff training on the issues of sustainable development and welcoming people with disabilities

Using public transport, and the cycle services and car-sharing schemes on offer in many cities (information available at reception and in the housekeeping book).

Throwing away less and sorting waste to ensure it is recycled more effectively are the twin pillars of our waste management policy. The vast majority of our aparthotels are equipped with specially designed bins and sorting installations. Wherever possible, we also avoid individual packaging and use products that can be topped up. Finally, we recycle electrical appliances and hazardous waste, and compost green waste in our eco-labelled aparthotels.

• Sorting waste inside your apartment.
• Using the sorting bins provided on each floor.
• Avoiding disposable and single-dose products.

We go to great lengths to practise sustainable consumption and to work closely with our host cities. Our gourmet breakfasts offer a selection of local or organic products, and fair trade products, served on recycled paper table sets. And our “welcome packs” are made up of organic farming products.

• Consuming fresh and seasonal products.
• Opting for organic products where possible.
• Discovering local specialities.
