Sustainable Measures

Reduction in CO 2 emissions

The use of coal, oil and, to a lesser extent, natural gas, generates carbon dioxide emissions, one of the main causes of the greenhouse effect. The objective of RIU Hotels is to continue reducing pollution and CO 2 emissions generated by its activity.

Measures to reduce emissions • Use of less polluting systems, especially with regard to air conditioning, the top contributor to our carbon footprint. • Replacement of diesel boilers and appliances with appliances that use natural gas. • Use of less polluting and more efficient machinery and appliances. • We are committed to recycling solid waste, thus avoiding the manufacture of newmaterials and an increase in greenhouse gases. • Identify the devices responsible for the highest emissions and improve their efficiency.
