Our Concrete Actions for Sustainable Tourism in Lyon

At Valpré, we have implemented several concrete initiatives to promote sustainable tourism in Lyon:

Waste Reduction

We prioritize bulk packaging to reduce waste and have eliminated individual products wherever possible. Recycling is implemented in common areas, meeting rooms, and staff spaces. We also work with specific channels for managing hazardous waste.

Energy Conservation

Our facilities are equipped with energy-efficient light bulbs and motion sensors, and our electrical devices are chosen for their low energy consumption. The entire site is insulated, and we have installed double- and triple-glazed windows to reduce energy consumption.

Water Management

We have installed water-saving devices in all rooms and common areas to reduce water usage. Additionally, no watering is done on green spaces, significantly reducing our water footprint.

Biodiversity and Sustainable Green Space Management

Valpré manages its green spaces sustainably, without chemicals, and promotes local biodiversity. We collaborate with the Abbé Rozier farm to supply local products for our restaurant and have even produced Valpré’s own honey. Each year, we plant new trees to offset our carbon footprint.

A Responsible Hotel, Member of Only Lyon

As a key player in business tourism in Lyon, Valpré is proud to be an ambassador of the Only Lyon label. We are members of the Lyon Convention and Visitors Bureau, which assists professionals in organizing events such as congresses, conferences, and seminars. Our commitment to hosting eco-friendly seminars is also part of this approach.

Social Responsibility and Local Partnerships

Beyond our environmental initiatives, we actively support social projects. The Valpré Incubator assists individuals over 40 in starting their own businesses. We also partner with Café Joyeux, a company that employs people with disabilities, to promote a more inclusive economy.

Raising Client Awareness for Responsible Tourism

At Valpré, each stay is an opportunity to raise client awareness about the importance of sustainable development. We encourage our visitors to adopt eco-friendly practices, thereby reducing the environmental impact of each eco-friendly seminar or stay.
