PRIVILEGED AND SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE
One of the greatest luxuries we offer our clients is the opportunity to participate in many small initiatives towards the greater good. For this, our partner Le Bristol Paris has been awarded the prestigious "Green Globe Certification" and "Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant" (Enterprise of Living Heritage), a French mark of excellence reflecting their social as well as environmental view to the future.
Bee Green Team
The Corporate Social Responsibility policy is managed by the dedicated Bee Green team, made up of 19 members representing all professions in the hotel.
Consume Responsibly
The Insect Hotel & The Beehives
An insect hotel has been built in the garden, along with 6 rooftop beehives which produced closed to 150lbs of delicious honey in 2022. The honey received 2 gold medals for the categories "Liquid Spring" and "Liquid Summer" during the Ile-de-France honey competition.

Earth Hour
Each year, during the Earth Hour, more than 1,000 candles are lit to light the hotel's lobby and restaurants, thanks to the support of CIR company. The façade is also off.
The Living Bread
Chef Eric Frechon brings a flour mill to the centre of Paris, and puts 100% natural ‘Living bread’ back onto the gastronomic table. The wheat used is organically grown and comes from France.
Aquaclean
Aquaclean technology is a revolutionary treatment that removes stains using just water. It is an advanced protection for the furniture's fabric. This treatment covers each fiber with an invisible molecular layer that prevents dirt from entering the fabric.
Charging Station
Le Bristol Paris equipped its parking with charging stations for electric vehicles: Porsche, Tesla, BMW, and an universal one.
Green Energy
Le Bristol Paris recently changed its electricity supplier and contracted a renewable energy one. New and more efficient cold units have been installed to significantly reduce water and electricity consumption. All classic light bulbs have now been replaced by LED.
Bathroom Products
Unused bar and gel soaps are regularly donated to the association Clean The World. They are then recycled and distributed around the world to help people from underprivileged backgrounds. More than one ton of soap has already been collected and recycled. This year alone, more than 440lbs of soap have been donated.
Vegetarian Meals
A vegetarian alternative is offered every day in the staff cafeteria. In addition, Le Bristol Paris has set up one vegetarian meal per month at the staff cafeteria, in order to reduce meat and fish consumption, and thus reduce the impact on the environment.
Reusable Bottles
In order to reduce the use of single-use plastic, Le Bristol Paris acquired water bottles for employees and set up fountains to cover the water requirement of all services. 600 water bottles were distributed and 17 fountains were installed to facilitate the supply of employees.
Sustainable Purchasing Policy
Each of Le Bristol Paris suppliers is carefully questioned in order to know their CSR approaches. The goal of the property is to reach 100% of suppliers committed to eliminating all single-use packaging.
