Environment
Our eco-responsible approach
We believe that the preservation of the environment relies on the civic-mindedness and volunteerism of citizens and businesses and we want to do our part.
We are privileged to live in a region of unspoilt nature, where flora and fauna are abundant. Adopting an eco-responsible approach is essential to preserve the value of our region.
Local employment, responsible management of green spaces, energy-saving equipment, reduction of water consumption, waste sorting, choice of renewable energy, purchase of ecological products… are all proof of our commitment.
And to attest to our efforts and actions, our residence has received the Green Key environmental certification, based on rigorous criteria of respect for the environment.
Our environmental approach is expressed in concrete actions to preserve natural resources and act as a responsible social actor :
