PRESERVING OUR ISLAND, OUR HOME

Within the Atrium Hotels family, we are committed to following the principles set by the Global Code of Ethics for Tourism (GCET) which cover the economic, social, cultural and environmental components of travel and tourism. The GCET is a road map for tourism development based on the belief that tourism can make a meaningful contribution to people’s lives and our planet.

With this commitment in mind, we have implemented a set of actions to minimize our environmental impact and footprint, to support and promote the local products and community and to help those in need via our corporate social responsibility program.

 

100% Green Energy

A 100% of our energy needs is produced by Renewable Energy Sources (RES). In addition, in response to the pressing challenge of climate change and its dire repercussions, we have undertaken significant initiatives across all facets of our hotel operations to curtail electricity consumption and diminish our environmental impact.

Water Use Management

Water is undeniably the most precious yet vulnerable resource, particularly in regions such as the Mediterranean islands. We acknowledge the necessity of safeguarding our water sufficiency and quality, and, to this end, we have put in place rigorous measures to minimize the consumption and wastage of clean water across all conceivable domains.

Waste Management

Earth’s resources are finite, underscoring the significance of implementing a cyclical system of reuse and recycling wherever feasible in order to optimize resource utilization and reduce waste generation. Equally vital is the rigorous supervision of all substances and chemicals to prevent harm to the broader environment.

Sustainable facilities

Zero-Plastic by 2025

We’ve reduced plastic use by 80% in the past two years, aiming to be Zero-Plastic by 2025. Our approach includes replacing single-use plastic with refillable dispensers for guest convenience and eco-friendliness. We’ve eliminated single-use plastic soda bottles, straws, and stirrers, promoting responsible consumption across our properties. Guests can also use reusable cups for environmentally conscious beverage enjoyment.

Recycling & Waste Management

Our properties embrace comprehensive recycling plans for glass, paper, plastic, and organic waste, reducing our environmental impact.

In personal care, we provide products free from animal testing and micro-plastics, and we set targets to reduce food waste across our properties.

Water Management

All our properties exclusively employ water-efficient dual flush toilets, operate laundry facilities efficiently, and treat wastewater for plant and garden watering in Atrium Prestige and Atrium Palace. We also use water-efficient showers and minimize water wastage in our swimming pool operations. Our dedication to responsible water use is integral to the Atrium Group experience.

Biodiversity & Ecosystem

At each property, green spaces like biodiversity gardens and atriums incorporate native plants to support local wildlife and reduce water and maintenance needs. Additionally, low environmental acoustic burden electric machines are used for grass cutting and garden maintenance, while each property maintains its herb garden to contribute ingredients to restaurant meals.

Local community support

Atrium Group is dedicated to supporting local communities and promoting Rhodes island. We actively engage with local communities, fostering positive relationships, and collaborating on various initiatives. This includes sourcing local products for our restaurants, partnering with neighboring businesses, and participating in community events. We also work hand-in-hand with local organizations to showcase the unique attractions and culture of our destination, enriching the experiences of our guests.

Social Responsibility

We are dedicated to making a positive impact in our community through various initiatives. This includes our support for the Municipal Grocery-Store, ensuring that people of very low income have access to all the necessary provisions. We also contribute to the valuable work of the Red Cross by making regular donations.

Our guests become locals

We offer our guests a holistic experience by providing tours and activities organized by local guides and businesses, ensuring they are well-informed about local ecosystems, heritage, and culture. Moreover, guests can actively participate in activities dedicated to improving the local environment.
