Environment Pillar

Sustainable Building and Responsible Resource Management

Le Normandy designs and adapts its infrastructure to reduce its environmental footprint while ensuring the comfort of its guests. This approach is materialized by the integration of less impactful materials, energy optimization, and continuous improvement of resource management.

Numerous initiatives are already in place to reduce energy consumption, such as the deployment of the new GTC (centralized technical management) throughout the resort, the implementation of energy sub-metering in the 3 hotels to more finely control gas and electricity consumption. These sub-metering systems allow monitoring of heating, hot water, and kitchen consumption. Renewable energies now represent 50% of the Barrière group's energy contract.

Furthermore, to monitor our water consumption, flow restrictors or reducers have been installed on faucets. Also, during extended stays, linen is renewed only upon request, thus combining comfort and resource preservation.

Le Normandy also follows a logic of harmonious integration with its environment, favoring landscape integration, preservation of existing ecosystems, and more sustainable construction practices.

Circular Economy Valorization

The principles of the circular economy apply to all professions and are accompanied by optimized waste management through a single provider, Take a Waste, specialized in comprehensive waste management, allowing anticipation of regulatory changes and ensuring efficient sorting. To date, nearly 10 recycling channels are used within our 3 hotels.

In our spaces, glass replaces single-use plastic and used soaps find a second life through solidarity associations, while contributing to humanitarian causes.

Le Normandy also acts on its paper consumption by gradually digitizing its communication media, as well as offering its customers a digital press service PressReader.

Transition to a Low Carbon Trajectory

The carbon footprint of the Barrière hotels Le Royal, Le Normandy, and L’Hôtel du Golf has been assessed, allowing the definition of a concrete action plan and the structuring of an ambitious low-carbon trajectory adapted to our activities. Our goal by 2030 is to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions by 25% compared to 2023.
