Sustainability

OUR STRATGEY

The Relais & Châteaux Vision, a manifesto of 20 commitments presented to UNESCO in 2014, is the driving force behind the Relais & Châteaux initiatives and ours, as members of the Association since 1988.

ENVIRONMENTAL PRESERVATION

At a time of climate emergency and its associated upheavals, we are reinventing luxury to give it a new ecological conscience.

Being a proud signatory of the Global Tourism Plastics Initiative within the One Planet Sustainable Tourism Programme since 2024 shows a strong commitment to sustainability and reducing the environmental impact of plastic waste in the tourism industry. The initiative, supported by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), is a crucial part of fostering more sustainable practices in global tourism.
We are reducing our energy needs. Our lighting in our customer areas is 90% LED. We optimize our IT equipment and adopt environmentally responsible digital practices.

We choose sustainable mobility: since 2022 we have been operating only with green energy and the Dina e-bike charging stations are an invitation for nature-conscious tourists. A nature that is increasingly luxuriant: from this summer, guests will be welcomed by a park enriched by 120 olive trees, as well as new spaces in which to relax and enjoy the silence that surrounds us.
We are limiting the impact of our waste: we have a waste sorting, recycling and reduction system with training for our teams. We have eliminated plastic from the rooms, restaurants and common areas.

We favour responsible purchasing: the menus in our restaurants are prepared with seasonal products, preferably local, organic and labeled.

HERITAGE AND CULTURE

We are passionate about keeping our cultural heritage alive through time. Our desire is to awaken and raise awareness of this exceptional heritage among our collaborators and our clients, so we choose partners with the same values.

SOCIAL COMMITMENT

We are committed to creating an environment that respects ethical criteria, diversity, employability, human rights, and health and safety. Il Bottaccio recognizes and values the talent of those who work everyday, to ensure that the spirit of our Maison flourishes. They are the key players who embody our commitments and fulfill countless initiatives that uphold those goals. 
We take care of the well-being of our team, we encourage skill building and we provide high quality training for all our collaborators.
