Sustainable Development

The Versō hotel, like all other establishments part of the PAL+ Group, features a sustainable development policy that highlights our commitment and determination to enhance our organization’s performance in sustainable development in our daily actions.

To ensure the success of this commitment, here are some initiatives we have implemented:

Composting in all establishments
Compostable or recyclable containers in all establishments

Reduction of paper use by replacing traditional documents in hotel rooms with interactive QR codes
Self-service reception kiosks available for guests
Addition of a water machine to eliminate water bottles

Responsible Purchasing

Promoting local products and processing products at Kóz bistro to minimize the purchase of processed products
Creating a menu with fewer animal proteins at Kóz bistro
Use of certified eco-friendly cleaning products and organic laundry detergent
Providing bulk cleaning local products in hotel rooms

Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Installation of 8 electric vehicle charging stations
“Bienvenue cyclistes” certification, promoting bicycle transport and offering on-site pumps and tools, as well as a secure overnight location for bicycles

Social Involvement and Community

Partnerships with other tourist businesses in the region to support the local economy through donations and sponsorships
PAL+’s annual donations to organizations total more than $45,000 in value

EcoFund Program by Greenstep

EcoFund Verified is a program that holds us accountable as we measure and reduce our carbon footprint based on international standards and best practices. Instead of simply offsetting our emissions, we are actively working to cut down our consumption of fossil fuels, waste and water, by investing in more efficient technologies and tracking our reductions.

In support of this, an EcoFee of $3 is included on every night/on each transaction at the Versō hotel. Through EcoFund, your stay is made more environmentally friendly and sustainable, and with your help, we tread lighter on this planet. Thank you for supporting responsible business.
