OUR COMMITMENTS
Grand Hotel Chicago
Commitments
EU Ecolabel certified, we are deeply committed to the preservation of our planet and the well-being of our guests. We believe that a sustainable future is possible, and that we all have a role to play in making it happen. Here are our concrete commitments to sustainable development:
SUSTAINABLE CONSUMPTION
energy
To actively contribute to the fight against climate change, we have implemented measures to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions and adopt responsible energy consumption. We have opted for 100% renewable and traceable energy, of European origin, to minimize our carbon footprint. In common areas, the heating and air-conditioning temperature range is maintained between 20 and 24 degrees, and between 19 and 24 degrees in bedrooms, to guarantee your comfort while limiting our environmental impact.
DELICACY
WATER
Water conservation is a priority for us. We encourage our customers to participate in our efforts by changing sheets and towels only on request, thus contributing to a more responsible use of water resources.
WASTE MANAGEMENT
Recycling
We are committed to reducing the amount of waste we produce and to recycling waste efficiently, including in our guest rooms, to minimize our environmental footprint.
AWARENESS AND
Sustainable partnerships
We actively engage our staff and partners in the importance of sustainable practices. We favor responsible purchasing and support ecological initiatives to contribute to a greener future.
PEOPLE FIRST
social
We are committed to providing our teams with a respectful, inclusive, and safe working environment. Everyone benefits from training opportunities, career development, and a workplace where diversity is encouraged. Our HR practices are based on principles of equity, transparency, and responsible recruitment.
LOCAL ROOTS
societal
We believe in meaningful, community-centered tourism. We prioritize short supply chains, seasonal products, and partnerships with local stakeholders — producers, shopkeepers, and associations. This connection to our neighborhood supports a positive societal impact and enriches the guest experience beyond the usual paths.
A STRUCTURED APPROACH
governance
Our governance is grounded in transparency, responsibility, and careful monitoring of our commitments. Environmental and social indicators are embedded in our decision-making processes, supporting a mindset of continuous improvement. This level of integrity ensures our actions are coherent and go beyond basic compliance.
SHARED COMMITMENT
hotels en ville
We are part of the Hotels en Ville collection, a network of independent hotels committed to strong values: sustainability, inclusion, and transparency. As such, we rigorously apply the ethical charter, the responsible recruitment charter, and the responsible purchasing charter. These shared frameworks guide how we recruit, purchase, and welcome guests, always with respect for people and the environment. Being a member of Hôtels en Ville means taking part in a collective, human-centered, and forward-thinking approach.
