Sustainability Comitas Hotels

Environmental initiatives

- We actively work to reduce consumption and waste, as well as energy and water consumption.

- Waste recycling is a key part of the development of our sustainability strategy.

- We are working to eliminate single-use plastics and use biodegradable or recycled materials instead.

- We are committed to energy efficiency and some of our hotels have renewable energy installations.

- We use digital tools, such as sensors and computerised systems, to make our facilities as efficient and environmentally friendly as possible.

- We contribute to the conservation of our surrounding biodiversity, ecosystems and landscapes such as the protection of species, like swallows, allowing us to house and protect their nests in our facilities.

Social initiatives

- We respect and promote local culture and customs. For this reason, we are proud to belong to local community associations and groups and we collaborate with social entities that promote actions with a socio-environmental benefit.

- We try to promote healthy food brands and seasonal and local products, by hiring local food suppliers, with environmental commitment and collaborations with agri-food cooperatives in Menorca.

- We prioritise the hiring of local staff and suppliers in order to promote the development of the Menorcan economy.

Firm commitment to renewable energies

During 2023, Comitas Hotels has invested approximately 160,000€ in the installation of photovoltaic panels in two of its establishments. All the energy generated will be for self-consumption. Our goal is to continue supporting sustainable tourism and become a referent for sustainability on the island:

- Comitas Floramar: Installation of 175 photovoltaic modules that will mean 45.86 tons of less CO² emissions, equivalent to 2,293 trees that offset the carbon footprint.

- Comitas Isla del Aire: Installation of a photovoltaic generator for self-consumption made up of 43 photovoltaic modules, with 156 cells and 570 Wp each, all of them with a structure on existing roofs.

In addition, no type of debris has been generated, apart from the packages where the different elements come, since no demolition or work that could generate debris has been carried out.

Our commitment

Proof of our environmental commitment is that all our hotels have the SICTED quality commitment symbol, which recognises the effort and commitment to quality and continuous development, promoted by the Secretary of State for Tourism (SET).

In addition, since 2018, we have been working with Travelife, an organisation dedicated to the training, management and certification of tourism companies committed to achieving sustainability in order to improve their social and environmental impact.

Since 2020, we have the Safe Accommodation Certification, issued by the Spanish Confederation of Hotels and Tourist Accommodation, which certifies that our complex operates the complete anti-COVID-19 system for accommodation. In addition, our staff have taken part in and successfully completed their specific training on measures to reduce the SARS-COV-2 coronavirus infection.

#BGreenMenorca Project 2024

Thanks to the #BGreenMenorca 2024 project, with the support of the Consell Insular de Menorca and the Menorca Biosphere Reserve Agency, we have carried out new actions aimed at improving water efficiency and protecting the island’s natural environment.

At the Comitas Isla del Aire complex, the bathrooms have been renovated, incorporating water-saving solutions that contribute to a more responsible and sustainable use of this resource. With these actions, we continue to move forward in our commitment to sustainable tourism in harmony with the values of the Menorca Biosphere Reserve.
