WE OBTAIN THE BIOSPHERE CERTIFICATION, THE MOST PRESTIGIOUS SEAL OF SUSTAINABILITY IN EUROPE.

Last February 16, Hotel Alimara, together with CETT-UB, obtained the Biosphere Certification at the ceremony of certification held by Tourism of Barcelona and the Chamber of Commerce at the Design Museum of Barcelona.

This certification is a great advance in sustainability for our hotel and a recognition of all the implementations we have been carrying out for more than 20 years to be more sustainable every day and protect our planet.

Biosphere integrates in its requirements the 17 SDGs in five different areas: Climate Change, Environment, Social, Economy and Culture. Each of these blocks has been worked on by our Quality Service in order to comply with such a demanding certification as Biosphere, the most prestigious seal of sustainability on the European continent.

The Hotel Alimara thus joins the more than 1,000 companies with the Biosphere tourism sustainability certification that exist in the city of Barcelona.

The Barcelona destination, made up of the city and the 12 counties of the province, is the one with the most tourist accommodations with sustainable certification within the European Union. This is reflected in the Environmental Labels and Schemes indicator, created by the EU itself, which specifically indicates the number of accommodations per destination that have managed to demonstrate sustainable practices, publicly recognizing them with an international certificate.

From Hotel Alimara we join the effort that many companies are making to achieve a responsible water management. Some of the most outstanding actions of our hotel and that have made us achieve this recognition for the protection of the environment are, for example: the change of natural grass for artificial in our garden, the reuse for irrigation and cleaning of excess water from events and the restaurant or communication in our establishment to raise awareness about the importance of sustainable practices.

All this allows us to save more than half a million liters of water per year and do our bit in the fight against the drought that Catalonia is going through.
This recognition is an example of Hotel Alimara 's commitment to improve every day in the field of sustainability and environmental protection.
