Resources

Less impact, more future.

We integrate responsible practices to create a positive impact on the environment and society.

Zero-kilometre produce

Our commitment to local gastronomy is genuine. That is why, whenever possible, our menus feature "zero-mile" products, selected from nearby producers and trusted suppliers.

Tackling food waste

We implement measures to minimise the food waste generated in our kitchens by optimising processes and promoting more responsible food management.

Waste collection

We have selective waste collection and recycling programmes that allow us to separate, manage and process each type of material correctly.

Responsible water consumption

We promote water conservation through good internal consumption practices and by raising awareness among our customers. Our goal is to minimize waste.

Eco-friendly cleaning products

We use eco-friendly products certified with the Ecolabel distinction, ensuring a lower environmental impact and greater safety for people.
