Sustainability and corporate social responsibility at Aparthotel Arrels d'Empordà

We are a family business with a clear vocation for commitment to society. The owner and owner of the aparthotel believe in the social return of the work done. For this reason, we have endorsed and made available our facilities in the Higher Cycle of Tourist Accommodation Management of the Generalitat de Catalunya, which is taught in one of the town’s institutes. In this way, students are part of their curriculum in a functioning establishment. We also help train professionals in the hospitality industry by offering an internship space.

We collaborate continuously with the County Council and the City Council of Palafrugell to provide a space for reception in the most diverse causes as well as integration to work whenever requested. We are always open to requests for collaboration from organizations related to the elderly, sports, or other local groups.

Committed to the environment

As a tourist establishment we make the utmost commitment to the environment and sustainability, which is why in the construction of the building there is a preference for natural materials. The heat and cold installations work with the biomass boiler system, achieving renewable energy. The lighting is low consumption with LED lamps. All this has led us to obtain one of the best scores in terms of the energy rating of the building.

In the different departments, priority is given to recycling systems, minimizing the use of plastic as well as saving water. We are firmly committed to not wasting resources. We are committed to the increasingly intense use of ecological products and materials that have the minimum environmental impact.
