Acting together

Our employees and suppliers are involved in our responsible purchasing policy through short circuits, natural resource management, choice of materials, recycling, and recovery.

We participated, with the town and the Bonifacio Tourist Office, in the elaboration of the Nustrale charter, which advocates the promotion of local products.

And we are fully committed to this.

Without waiting for this charter, the chef has favoured short circuits and chooses his organic and/or labelled suppliers with great care.

The companies are also chosen preferably as close to us as possible; their know-how according to ancestral techniques still anchors us in our choice to develop Corsica.

Watering, early in the morning or at night with drip irrigation, is done with water drilled on the property. Electricity is saved by using energy-efficient light bulbs and contact cards in the rooms.

We have installed 4 charging stations for electric vehicles, including 2 Tesla stations, and our laundry staff use electric vehicles.

The dematerialisation of digital documents and the reuse of drafts limit the use of paper as much as possible.
We do not use plastic straws or cutlery.

For the construction, eco materials (single wall bricks with thin joints…), the recovery of beams, tiles, etc… are preferred, as well as repairable and recyclable equipment, with a particular attention to eco-energy standards.

Instead of exotic wood, we use wood from eco-managed European forests, driftwood, or wood from Corsican forests such as chestnut.

The trees and flowers for the garden are primarily endemic, the plants and seeds for the vegetable garden are of farm origin.

In the rooms, we opt for large capacity bottles, refillable containers, and recycled plastic.
We use water from here, filtered by us, for the reception products.
The air fresheners are based on immortelle oil.

Our Occitane products are organic; those for the shower are concocted by a young couple from Bonifacio, with water from their cave perfumed with lemons.

Edmond Cridel took part in the elaboration and financing of the Bonifacio commune’s dossier for wastewater.
The on-the-spot drilling makes it possible to be self-sufficient for watering.

Frying oil is recovered, soaps are recycled via Unisoap and sorted glass is collected via Défi.

For our vegetable garden, we produce mulch and compost from vegetable and food waste.
