Our group of hotels is committed to practicing eco-efficient management of the daily running of the resort. In order to minimise the impact on the environment by rationally using natural resources and energy and by reducing as much as possible the effects of pollution, we are contributing to the economy, improving the environment and society, thus benefiting present and future generations.
We are conscious that this is a contributive and progressive process counting on our suppliers’ and business partner's collaboration in order to continue improving our procedures.

• To evaluate regularly the impacts on the environment and fulfil the existing norms applicable to sustainable tourism.
• To prevent pollution
• To guarantee adequate management of natural resources and residues.
• To co-operate and promote communication with external entities, environmental associations, local authorities and the general public.
• Involving clients, employees, the local community and suppliers in order to encourage environmental improvements in all of its activities, products and services.
• Educating employees and promoting environmental awareness programs to enable, bring awareness and to practice sustainable tourism. In turn this will instigate personal and professional growth, for better working conditions, health and security.
• Encouraging local development and promoting economic, social and cultural growth in the region with the participation of the surrounding communities, suppliers and service providers.
• By enforcing these guidelines the Savoy Signature has begun improving its procedures, with the aim of achieving optimal environmental practices.

Conscientious of its role as a leader in the regional market, the Savoy Signature seeks to manage a balance between social development and responsibility, environmental preservation and economic prosperity. The principles and commitments that the Savoy Group assumes daily, in its purchasing policies, reflect our respect for suppliers, collaborators and customers, allowing for an even greater confidence in our prestigious Company.

Our approach to the market, in essence, is:
• To buy with responsibility – We maintain a selection process of suppliers based on rigorous and demanding criteria while taking into account the fundamental principle of sustainability.
• Regular events and one-on-one meetings with most relevant suppliers are promoted to establish common objectives towards more sustainable solution ( product, packaging, transport and others).
• To support regional suppliers – In equal circumstances we opt, with preference, to buy from regional suppliers. In local products, our percentage is around 20%, like local beer, fish, meat, cookies, fruits, vegetables and others.
• We contribute to the socio-economic growth of the region and avoid the long-haul transportation of goods from distant places which in turn favours environmental preservation.
• To respect the environment – We seek suppliers that are committed to and put in practice to the fullest the national and international norms in this domain.
• Preference for re-usable, returnable and recycled goods where available, lifecycle duration and costing are usual considerations, suppliers and products are analyzes with the 80/20 principle (quantity, impact, relevance) fact sheets in particular for toxic substances like chemicals, paints are analyzed and avoided where ever possible.
• To promote healthy eating – We contribute to a healthful eating style for our workers and customers by offering the best and freshest produce available and through rigorous process of food safety and hygiene quality control.
•Whenever possible purchase organic and locally grown produce.
We believe that with even these small contributions we can help effect global changes necessary to the future and humanity within its ecological framework : saving energy, more efficient residual waste management, protecting biodiversity and improving consumption habits.
The Savoy Signature is committed to actions designed to conserve and protect the environment, and will continue to implement those actions, whenever possible and economically feasible.

The Sustainability Policy of an organisation should be understood as a set of broad guidelines for carrying out all activities in absolute respect for the highest possible values. Our ambition is to promote prosperity, quality, create social, environmental and economic change and to improve the capacities of people and organisations.

Conscious of the need to respect this principle, Savoy Signature undertakes to adopt policies in the areas of social responsibility, quality, purchasing, environmental and food safety.

We are aware that this is an evolutionary and contributory process, so we rely on the collaboration of our employees, suppliers and business partners to continually improve our procedures.

A Savoy Signature sustainability report will be prepared annually.
