AN EXEMPLARY AND RESPONSIBLE APPROACH
The Barrière Spirit champions a development model that respects humanity, the environment and local economies. Helping to create the world of the future and taking on a corporate social responsibility approach are at the heart of our concerns. Our 360° ethical approach unites the social, economic and environmental dimensions around five themes: Governance & Dialogue, Customer Relations, Responsible Employer, Environment, and Local Development. Barrière has chosen the ISO 26000 Social Responsibility Guidance standard to spearhead its approach, and its ambitious objectives go beyond sustainable development, by placing men and women at the heart of the thought process and its corporate actions.
A key player in the world of sustainable and responsible tourism, Barrière’s commitment to protecting the environment is based on the following five approaches:
- Reducing energy consumption
- Guaranteeing healthy establishments and improving sustainable construction
- Preserving biodiversity
- Promoting a circular economy
- Reducing, re-using, and recycling our waste.
- Encouraging responsible eating by developing menus that are “Good for the Climate”, using local produce...

COMMITTED TO THE ENVIRONMENT
To preserve the future of humanity, it is essential that we take care of our environment; not only is it a source of food and drinking water, it is also our source of air and oxygen. Our atmospheric waste exacerbates the natural greenhouse effect, which contributes to global warming. By preventing climate change, we can protect the earth’s fragility, and therefore the future of humanity.
Energy Management
Responsible Consumption
By carefully managing our lighting, water and heating facilities, as well as using renewable energy, we are able to reduce our carbon footprint.
Preserving biodiversity
Waste sorting
Les Neiges takes an active role in waste sorting, recycling and re-using. The aim is to reduce our impact on the environment through concrete actions taken on a daily basis.
Green Globe
The Green Globe international sustainable development standard covers areas ranging from sustainable development management to support for local industries and environmental protection. This program is based on 40 themes, broken down into more than 300 criteria. This certification is obtained after evaluating the sustainable development performance of companies in the travel and tourism sector as well as their supply chains. An award that testifies to the strong involvement of Les Neiges and its employees in the protection and preservation of the environment.
ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS
Taking care of the planet is everyone’s responsibility, and change can only happen if Barrière’s team members are committed and involved. The new strategy was co-designed and incorporated by all of the Group’s business sectors, thanks particularly to dedicated committee groups. Employees are trained in best company practices, particularly in the fight against food waste, and waste management.
CSR training
Every season, our team members are trained in sustainable development measures. Our sustainable development manager takes on the role of ambassador, helping to speed up the approach and its actions.
