WE ARE GREEN
Our Social & Environmental Responsibility
At Hôtel de Buci, and more broadly in the hotels of the Biografy group, we are convinced that we all have within us the resources, imagination and capabilities to do our part in a rapidly changing world.
Our ambition: to strive every day a little more towards a responsible model that respects our planet. We imagine, test and gradually deploy new solutions in our hotel, to limit our environmental impact, but also to give you the means to act and contribute on your own scale during your stay with us.
" Because transformation happens individually, but it's in the collective that the magic happens!"
Thanks to the actions we take on a daily basis and all the steps we have taken, we are delighted to have been awarded the Clef Verte label in 2024.
The Clef Verte label criteria require us to respect nature and people, in particular by controlling water and energy consumption, by managing waste in an environmentally-friendly way, by offering leisure activities that do not harm nature, and by promoting the region's players and natural assets.
455 kg of soap and toiletries
have been collected in 2019 in Biografy hotels by our partner Clean the World to be recycled and transformed into hygiene kits for the underprivileged.
1.8 tonnes of yellow waste (paper, plastic, cups)
were harvested in 2019 in Biografy hotels by our partner Cedar.
527 kg of our professional linen
was donated in 2019 to the Du Beau Linge company, which recycles it and gives it a second life, with the help of work integration centers. All unusable linen is donated to charitable associations.

We support
Since 2011, we have been working hand in hand with the association La Voix de l'Enfant to help protect children and improve education.
183 700€
That's how much Biografy hotels have raised for La Voix De l'Enfant since our support began.
La Voix De l'Enfant is also about the children's workshops we run at the Hôtel de Buci (pastry-making workshops, discovering the hotel business) and the time our employees give to the association (taking part in sports tournaments, running workshops).
Gender equality index 100/100
This is the score obtained this year by the UES of the 5 Hotels of the Biografy Group in its Women - Men Equality Index responding to the decree n°2019-15 of January 8, 2019 and which enables existing pay gaps to be measured, in order to better remedy them, and thus help achieve true equality between women and men in the world of work.
The index has been designed as a practical tool for advancing gender equality within companies. It comprises 5 indicators:
Methodological precisions:The hotels refer to the year 2023, i.e. from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023.

Individual characteristics (age, job category) are assessed on the last day of the reference period or the last day of presence of the employee in each company.
In accordance with the decree, the following are not included in the calculation of the index: - Apprentices, professionalization contracts;- Employees made available by an external company, including temporary workers where applicable;- Employees whose contracts are suspended for more than 6 months during the reference period.
