At THB hotels, we prioritise the use of renewable energies and the reduction of emissions to minimise our environmental impact. We have installed photovoltaic and solar panels to generate electricity and hot water cleanly and efficiently, and have also implemented systems such as geothermal energy, which uses the earth’s natural heat to regulate temperatures in our spaces.
Additionally, in the ongoing renovations of our properties, we implement measures to improve the thermal insulation of buildings while enhancing the energy efficiency of equipment and machinery.
We also closely monitor our carbon footprint, which allows us to measure, reduce, and offset our emissions through initiatives such as tree planting. Actions such as these have positioned us at the forefront of the drive towards a more sustainable and environmentally-friendly tourism.
Efficient resource management is key to ensuring a sustainable operational model. At THB hotels, we have implemented cutting-edge technologies to optimise water consumption, including greywater reuse systems, which filter and treat water for use in toilets. This approach significantly reduces water consumption rates. Similarly, our swimming pools are equipped with innovative disinfection systems based on ozone and salt electrolysis, eliminating the need for aggressive chemicals.
These initiatives not only conserve valuable resources but also ensure the sustainability of our operations.
Reducing waste and eliminating single-use plastics are core elements of our commitment to the circular economy. At THB hotels, we work to minimise waste generation through an integrated approach that prioritises replacing unsustainable plastic materials with more environmentally responsible biodegradable alternatives. We also implement an advanced smart weighing system to efficiently manage and separate waste, thereby fomenting correct sorting in order to maximise recycling and reuse.
Furthermore, we adopt innovative practices such as using bulk wine barrels that significantly reduce packaging waste and encourage the reuse of materials to move towards a zero-waste model.
Supporting local producers and prioritising the consumption of locally sourced products also lie at the heart of our circular model. The food we serve is prepared with locally sourced ingredients such as fruits, vegetables, wines, and teas, supplied by partners committed to sustainable practices and aligned with our circularity policies. These practices not only reduce transport-related emissions but also support the local economy.
What’s more, we strive to create authentic experiences for our guests by showcasing the flavours and traditions of each region we operate in. Actions that support sustainable tourism for the benefit of both the community and the environment.
Education and awareness are key in the transition to sustainability. At THB hotels, we come up with initiatives designed to encourage our employees, guests and partners to commit to the environment, promoting a shared realisation of just how important it is to protect our environment. Through actions such as the “1 Song, 1 Shower” campaign, which encourages guests in an engaging way to reduce water consumption, and educational visits to waste management facilities such as TIRME, designed to boost our team’s environmental awareness, we work collaboratively and cooperatively with all our stakeholders.
All this enables us to implement joint policies that strengthen our circular practices and achieve our improvement goals in this area, combining our efforts to maximise the impact of our actions.
