We are environmentally responsible

Our passion is to offer gastronomy of the very highest quality. Additionally, we aim to have as little negative impact on the environment as possible. In order to achieve this aim, we work on sustainability with specific contributions and, furthermore, we are committed to the 17 SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals).

our environmental impact:

Demonstrating a reduction of CO2 emissions

*The sum of fossil fuels, electricity consumption, water consumption and business travel. We managed to reduce CO2 emissions from 3.57 Tn in 2020 to 3.12 Tn CO2 in 2021.

Energy efficiency

We have invested in two fundamental renovations to ensure that we are energy efficient.

We donate leftover food and thus minimise waste.

We manage any food waste responsibly.

Use of plastics

2. We have opted for the digitalisation of our menu and the management of orders via iPads.

Water consumption

1. We have installed the EcoFrog Avatar system to avoid the use of detergents..
2. We have water flow aerators on taps and we have installed dual flush systems.

Mobility and accessibility

We aim to demonstrate our commitment through our facilities and our conduct. What we have done so far:

Our entire restaurant is accessible and has toilets adapted for reduced mobility.

Our travel is done on foot, by public transport or in emission-neutral vehicles.

We provide our customers with information about public transportation.

We have parking facilities for bicycles and scooters to encourage staff to commute using these alternatives.

are part of Restaurant Nectari

of the team can better
care for their families.
