10/01/2024
January 10, 2024. Casual Hoteles begins the year by showcasing what will be one of its priority objectives for 2024: strengthening its Sustainability strategy, which goes beyond wanting to be socially responsible, and aims to lead a sincere and committed change towards a better world, and improve the ecosystem in which all its establishments operate.
To this end, in addition to carrying out numerous actions that earned it the First HOSBEC Sustainable Tourism Award at the end of 2023, in the "Best Corporate Social Responsibility Strategy" category, the Valencian chain has just announced that 11 of its 24 establishments have switched to using 100% green energy.
With this measure, which has been implemented to date in its hotels in Madrid, Barcelona, Cádiz, Málaga, Seville, San Sebastián and Valencia, Casual Hoteles will be able to avoid the emission of 1,134,000 kilos of CO2 into the atmosphere per year, which is equivalent to planting 24,450 trees, or stopping the use of 280 tons of oil equivalent (toe).
The Valencian group's goal is to extend this measure to the rest of its establishments, as the expiration of some of their permanent contracts allows.
According to Juan Carlos Sanjuán, president and founder of Casual Hoteles, “ we will only be able to improve the world and guarantee the future of future generations if each of us assumes our responsibility and contributes to reducing the impact our actions have on the environment. This is one of the many initiatives we plan to implement at Casual Hoteles to ensure our business offers a completely responsible and sustainable tourism experience .”
What is 100% green energy?
To operate with 100% green energy, Casual Hoteles has signed an agreement with the energy supplier Conecta2 Energía, which provides clean, sustainable, and non-polluting electricity produced exclusively from renewable sources such as solar, wind, hydroelectric, geothermal, marine, biomass, and biogas.
