The Eco-Hotel system consists of an environmental certification developed for the hotel business based on concepts and requirements designed by the TÜV Rheinland Group certification organism, and it allows the evaluation of the real environmental performance of the company.
Its implementation provides the acknowledgment of the company as certified and allows a continuous environmental improvement as well as a reduction of energetic associated costs. Being aware of its environmental responsibilities, Shiadu Group has embraced the Eco-Hotel system implementation project with the purpose of minimizing environmental impacts and contributing to a sustainable management of resources.
