Our environmental initiatives with the Green Key Label

🌍An eco-responsible approach adopted at the Best Western San Benedetto!

At a time when responsible tourism is becoming a priority for many travelers, our hotel affirms its commitment to the environment through the Green Key Label.

This international certification distinguishes tourist accommodations that implement environmentally friendly practices.

Our approach is part of a comprehensive strategy: reducing our impact while guaranteeing a comfortable and high-quality stay.

♻️Concrete actions every day

At the heart of our environmental strategy, simple yet effective actions are implemented daily.

Energy management relies on:

• Installing energy-efficient light bulbs
• Monitoring our electricity consumption
• Using motion detectors in common areas
• Optimizing heating and air conditioning systems when a room is unoccupied
• Raising awareness among guests and staff about best practices (turning off lights and TVs when leaving a room, dimming the reception lights at night, etc.)
• Measuring our establishment's carbon footprint.

Regarding water, we save on:

• devices such as aerators on all taps and showers
• a dual-flush toilet system
• encouraging the reuse of towels, which significantly reduces consumption
• using eco-friendly washing programs
• monitoring and optimizing our water consumption
   

As a guideline, a certified establishment can save an average of up to 50 liters of water per night through these practices.

In 2025, our establishment saved 569,850 liters of water, the equivalent of 3,166 bathtubs.

Waste reduction is also a major focus, achieved through:

• selective sorting,
• limiting single-use products,
• eliminating pre-packaged individual portions for breakfast,
• combating food waste through partnerships like "Too Good To Go",
• replacing plastic bottles in guest rooms with a water fountain,
• baking bread and pastries to order at the end of breakfast service.

Finally, we prioritize responsible purchasing by favoring:

• short supply chains with local suppliers for breakfast,
• homemade breakfast items,
• purchasing eco-friendly products,
• using certified and less harmful cleaning products,
• providing electric vehicle charging stations to encourage the purchase of electric or hybrid vehicles.

🌱2026: A renewed Green Key Label, proof of our commitment

The renewal of the Green Key label in 2026 confirms the strength and continuity of our actions.

This recognition acknowledges the fundamental work carried out by all the teams at the San Benedetto, as well as a constant commitment to improvement.

For travelers, it guarantees a stay in an establishment that is committed, transparent, and mindful of its environmental impact.

Choosing the San Benedetto *** hotel also means opting for a new way to travel.

Help us in our efforts:

• by having your sheets and towels cleaned only upon request: to do so, use the "do not disturb" sign or leave the towels hanging in the bathroom
• by turning off the bathroom tap before leaving
• by turning off the lights, television, and air conditioning/heating when leaving
• by sorting your waste: use the room bin for general waste, and leave recyclable items (glass bottles, cardboard boxes, paper, etc.) on the desk table.

In this way, each stay becomes an opportunity to combine pleasure,discovery, and respect for the environment.
