Stay Green aligns the activity of H10 Hotels with guidelines and objectives defined at European and international level, and has determined its lines of action with reference to the 2030 Agenda Sustainable Development Goals established by the United Nations.
The initiatives proposed also conform to the European Green Deal (established in the EU's European Climate Law), which promotes the efficient and competitive use of resources with the aim of stopping greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
Awarded by the Responsible Tourism Institute (RTI), an international non-profit organisation with more than 25 years' experience, it recognises the efforts made by our hotels according to the sustainability objectives established by the United Nations and the extent to which they are valued and chosen by tourists and the public.
Through the Biosphere Sustainable methodology, we are working to align our hotels' activity with Agenda 2030, recognising actions through which we contribute to the achievement of its 169 objectives and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
In the framework of FITUR 2023, the financial institution of CaixaBank has recognised the work in sustainability of H10 Hotels with the 'CaixaBank Hotels&Tourism' award, which honours the company's Stay Green programme, the aim of which is to promote and encourage responsible tourism in all destinations where it is present.
Through this award, the bank recognises the special sensitivity of sustainable projects in the tourism sector, such as those that include improvements in energy efficiency, accessibility, water and waste management, circular economy and those that promote the employment of people at risk of exclusion.
H10 Hotels has obtained the Certificate of Conformity of Calculated CO2 from the prestigious certification body AENOR, making it a pioneer in the hotel sector in auditing and certifying the inventory of its greenhouse gas emissions.
AENOR uses GHG Protocol methodology to certify the carbon footprint calculation of activities at all our hotels and corporate headquarters. This certification, which will be updated annually, confirms our commitment to sustainability, as laid out in the Stay Green plan, according to which we aim to reduce our greenhouse emissions by 75% per stay by 2030 compared to 2010 levels.
