environmental policy
Every day, our Nice hotel strives to minimise its impact on the environment as much as possible, protect natural resources and reduce pollution. We are proud to be labeled Clef Verte in addition to our own eco-responsible policy.
La Clef Verte is the first international environmental label for tourist accommodation and catering, distinguishing establishments which adopt efficient environmental management and responsible practices on exactly 119 criteria spread over 7 themes.
Our goals :
Reduce our water and energy consumption by using technological solutions and eco-friendly everyday actions.
Reduce waste production by buying in bulk, sorting waste and removing dangerous waste in line with regulations.
This means that the Hotel Florence Nice is helping to protect bees and helping beekeeping to flourish in Nice. Did you know that my bees buzz around in better conditions in the city centre than in the countryside? That's because in the city there are flowers all year round, no pesticides and far fewer hornets.
"Let's be like bees, they go on long journeys without losing their focus" - Louis-Marie Parent
A single bee can gather pollen from 700 flowers in just one hour! Honey made in Nice at the Hotel Florence Nice is the result of thousands of journeys between the flowers on the Promenade du Paillon, the city's parks and gardens, neighbouring balconies and hives. The workers are at it all year and a Nice beekeper visits on a regular basis to check everything is OK.
