The Spanish hotel group, which has properties across six countries, is taking "firm steps" to fulfil a commitment it made in January 2022, which will see 50% of all energy consumed by the company come from renewable sources.
The company’s policy has created measures for the responsible use of resources, savings in energy consumption, waste management, the reduction of single-use plastics and support for local products.
The group will also implement a structured approach to reach goals in three areas: the environment, the circular economy and the social sphere.
In terms of energy management, 100% of the energy consumed in all of the group’s properties in Spain comes from renewable energies.
In Ibiza specifically, Ushuaia Ibiza Beach Hotel, Hard Rock Hotel Ibiza, Grand Palladium Palace Ibiza Resort and Spa and Grand Palladium White Island Resort and Spa have installed a total of 1,327 photovoltaic panels this season.
This technology allows a peak power of 600 kWp. It is estimated the installations will produce 746.000 kW and thus avoid 186,000 kg of CO2 emissions annually.
The group plans to expand the number of solar panels installed in its properties in the coming years, as well as using other sustainable energies and technologies including natural gas, thermal recovery systems and the use of geothermal energy.
Initiatives are also being developed under a circular economy model, based on three essential pillars: recovery, recycling and the reuse of waste. The hotel group ensures an exhaustive control of waste both in its hotels in Europe and America, with an aim to reduce wherever possible.
The group offers km0 products in all its gastronomic offers – this step not only reduces CO2 emissions, but supports local producers and celebrates the culinary scene of each region. Palladium Hotel Group’s environmental policy also pledges to take steps to protect biodiversity and commits to a responsible use of water.
