Vincci Hotels has an agreement with a specialist waste manager, who transforms the used oil in kitchens into a new raw material: biodiesel, an alternative to fossil fuels.
In this way we reduce the pollution of the water and avoid other problems such as bad odors, the clogging of pipes and the spread of pests in our hotels.

We deal with our hazardous waste in a responsible manner through authorised management companies. This enables us to maintain complete traceability and control of their correct destruction and/or recovery.
Contaminated metal and plastic containers, aerosols, absorbents and paint, varnish and fluorescent residues are gathered together and collected every six months in order to ensure their responsible management.

The European Commission has set as an objective to increase the recycling / reuse of urban waste up to 70% in 2030 and reduce the generation of food waste by 30% by 2025.
Vincci Hotels has been working for many years on segregation, recycling , reuse, reduction and recovery of the waste that we generate. Both in our hotels and in the Central Offices we separate and organize the waste for its selective collection and facilitating its responsible management. The goal is to get hotels to achieve Residue 0.

We convert the remains of pruning and vegetable fibers in our extensive green areas into compost, achieving a natural fertilizer and a lower application of phytosanitary products.
In this way we recover a residue (pruning remains), which in many cases is host and inoculum of pests, converting it into a resource (compost) obtaining a quality organic matter that, later incorporated into the land, improves the structure and biology of the floor.
Organic waste is also treated to make compost or biogas.

We have decanters of fats, are watertight containers that receive the generated gray water and separate the elements by decantation.
In this way, the heavier solids, fats and detergents are segregated and can be disposed of separately. Thus, we avoid its exit to the common sewerage network and reduce water pollution.

The emissions produced by the boilers are highly polluting, which is why, in favor of a correct management of these emissions, we carry out a preventive maintenance. A poorly adjusted boiler can generate an over-consumption of 15%.
On the other hand, the revision of air conditioning and refrigeration equipment (cold rooms, refrigerators, etc.) allows us to avoid fugitive emissions of refrigerant gases, whose release contributes to global warming and the destruction of the ozone layer.

The tanks of double discharge allow to empty half or all the capacity of the cistern according to the use that we make of the same, so that we can pass from 3 to 9 liters as it suits.
Also, some allow stopping the discharge voluntarily saving large amounts of water.

Among the most useful instruments to save water in our facilities are the volumetric aerators or reducers, which allow to reduce the flow that leaves the tap, but maintaining its utility through a more rational consumption.
These devices allow to save up to 50% of water.

In our pools we have saline chlorinators, a safe, healthy and respectful technique with the environment.
This system passes the water, slightly salty, through a few sheets of titanium (electrodes). When the salt water passes through the electrodes, the salt (sodium chloride) becomes an active disinfectant that destroys algae, bacteria and fungi. This disinfectant is reconverted into salt, thus returning to renew the cycle.

All our customers have the option to choose the change or reuse of their bedding and towels. In the rooms there are explanatory messages that inform how to proceed to choose one or another option.
With this measure, we can save up to 5,000 liters of water per day, which would allow us to irrigate 500 m2 of gardens, while at the same time contributing to the environmental awareness of our clients.

The use of washing machines is a very representative activity of water and energy consumption in hotels, so optimizing their performance is essential.
Our washing machines are used with the full load and, whenever possible, with the savings program. We reduce the consumption of energy, water, detergent and, in addition, prolong the life of the appliance.

In the hotels, when the guests are absent from the rooms, it is common to leave the lights and the air conditioning on by accident.
Our key cards serve to open the room and activate light and climate, avoiding the unnecessary consumption of energy.

Our hotels have a large number of light points to ensure optimal lighting comfort.
Therefore, we are in the process of replacing conventional lamps with other LED or low consumption, which consume between 50% and 80% less energy and have a longer life.

In many of our hotels the interior lighting of common areas and rooms works for many hours a day to meet the needs of customers.
That is why hotels have presence detectors react to the smallest movements and, at the same time, measure the luminosity of the room. If no movement is registered or if a defined luminosity value is exceeded, the presence detector automatically turns off the light. These detectors are not only in the customer areas, but also the personnel area has them to avoid unnecessary electricity consumption

The number of vehicles continues to increase unstoppably due to the lifestyle we follow. Sustainable mobility pursues, among other objectives, the promotion of the use of alternative vehicles more respectful with the environment.
In this sense, we are implementing a rental service for bicycles (conventional or electric), a mode of transport that is simple, light, ecological and silent to travel the city in a healthy way.

The energy sector is responsible for two thirds of greenhouse gas emissions. Increasing the energy coming from renewable sources reduces the risks of the increase and volatility in the price of fossil fuels, in addition to having mitigation benefits.

There is no cheaper and cleaner energy than that which is not consumed. Therefore, we have implemented a domotic system (currently present in 30% of our hotels) that allows us to regulate the lighting automatically, adapting it to the needs required at all times.
In this way, our customers can adjust the environments with four usually preferred assumptions in this type of room: 'Welcome' 'Good Morning', 'Relax' and 'Reading', always keeping the possibility of changing manually.

When buying or replacing equipment, we opt for those that have the highest energy rating. Its energy labeling allows us to quickly know how much energy an appliance consumes and how efficiently it uses it.
Thanks to it, we can compare the energy performance of office equipment, cold rooms or equipment for our kitchens before buying and assessing the one that best suits our needs.

We have configured as a preference the printing in the quality of eraser and black / white to avoid waste of ink and facilitate the reuse of paper.
We also use the blank faces of printed documents or printing errors to take notes or print drafts of documents. At the time of the elimination of paper, always goes to specific containers for recycling.

In Vincci Hoteles we already work with biodegradable products, so our new bet is to carry out cleanings without chemical products through the hydrolysis of water and salt. This equipment allows us to clean without chemicals, reducing the consumption of natural resources, we avoid any customer allergy and we make our employees work without risks.

The management of the facilities by our own employees is crucial to optimize the use of resources.
Therefore, we have a Manual of Good Environmental Practices whose purpose is to encourage engagement, awareness and training of our team in environmental matters. This measure, despite its low cost of implementation, has rapid and surprising results.

We internally promote the reduction of paper consumption in their communications, through the implementation of on-line communication systems that avoid the printing of invoices, letters and various notifications.
For example, to manage payroll system use virtual mailbox, a medium that saves paper.

The electronic invoicing has involved the digitalization of the information, integrating the PMS management software, which speeds up the interconnection with our suppliers. It streamlines the management of purchasing, administration and billing processes (statistics, inventory management, invoice reconciliation systems, integrated support for multiple types of transactions, etc.).
Une mesure qui, depuis sa mise en œuvre en 2011, a deux objectifs clairs: les économies de papier et l'amélioration de nos processus (simplification des tâches, facilitation du contrôle interne, gain d'espace pour l'archivage, réduction des coûts financiers).
