The importance of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) continues to grow in the business world, reflecting the recognition that economic success must go hand in hand with respect for our social and natural environments. With this in mind, Sejourneur has adopted a proactive approach by developing an ambitious CSR policy. As we strive to be a socially committed company, you will see how we integrate sustainable practices into the very heart of our operations. We invite you to read on to gain a deeper understanding of our approach and how you can contribute to it.
Sejourneur took the initiative to develop its own CSR charter, drawing inspiration from the internationally recognized Green Key (Clef Verte) label. This charter is built around five fundamental themes that guide our daily actions toward greater sustainability and positive social impact. Key pillars of our charter include our social and environmental approach, responsible purchasing, resource conservation, waste sorting, and raising customer awareness.
1 – SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL APPROACH
At Sejourneur, we understand that training our teams in sustainable tourism is essential. That is why they will receive regular training on how to put our company’s commitment into practice in their day-to-day work. Furthermore, we actively collaborate with local associations and stakeholders to support sustainable development and solidarity initiatives, thereby reinforcing our commitment to making a positive social impact.
2 – RESPONSIBLE PURCHASING
We take our responsibilities regarding procurement and partnerships very seriously. Our primary laundry partner has reduced water consumption by 30% and uses eco-friendly detergents. For logistics, last-mile delivery is carried out using either bicycles or electric vehicles. Approximately 80% of our cleaning products are eco-certified, thereby protecting the environment while maintaining high standards of cleanliness. These actions demonstrate our commitment as a responsible company.
3 – PRESERVATION OF THE RESOURCE
Sejourneur is committed to minimizing the environmental footprint of its operations. We have implemented control procedures for our heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems to regulate energy consumption. Furthermore, annual equipment checks ensure energy efficiency. Encouraging our property owners to invest in energy-efficient appliances is also a priority for us..
4 – WASTE SORTING
Each accommodation unit is equipped to facilitate waste sorting, with dedicated bins for recyclable and non-recyclable materials. We have also installed glass collection containers and are planning to introduce composting facilities. These measures are accompanied by detailed instructions provided to our guests to ensure compliance, reinforcing our status as a socially responsible business.
5 – CUSTOMER AWARENESS
Raising guest awareness is crucial for Sejourneur. From the moment they book, guests are informed of our CSR commitment through a digital guide. In-person interactions during check-in and check-out serve as key opportunities for our concierge teams to highlight responsible habits. We believe that, despite the challenges, our joint efforts can drive meaningful change toward a more sustainable future.
By adopting these practices, we aim not only to improve our environmental performance but also to raise awareness among and engage our guests and partners. Together, we are making a difference for a cleaner, more sustainable planet. Thank you for joining us in this commitment to responsible business.
Together towards a sustainable future
In short, at Sejourneur, our commitment to responsible management is reflected in every aspect of our operations. From raising awareness among our teams and clients to adopting sustainable purchasing practices, every initiative represents a step toward a positive environmental impact. We recognize that every action counts and that our contribution, however modest, is essential to driving meaningful change. We thank our clients and partners for joining us in this commitment to responsible business practices. Together, let us continue working toward a cleaner, more sustainable future.
