Sustainability

Luces de Catedral is a modest and exciting family project, which was born with the premises of constant learning, quality, a vocation for service and the development of a company committed to its workers and environment, always in the interest of the harmonious performance of its activity.

In this sense, the adaptation and protocol of internal processes, the negotiation with suppliers adhering to quality programs and the improvement of working conditions, have been of special interest since the opening of the apartments in 2015. These actions have been based on the advice and training received from the Alicante Chamber of Commerce, by mandate of the SICTED Quality System in Destination, who have helped us to implement environmental measures applied to the hospitality activity, thus mitigating the impact of our business activity.

In this way, we have been reducing the use of plastics, replacing single-use personal hygiene products with solid organic and natural cosmetics. We are also replacing the use of plastic bottles with water fountains treated by osmosis, available to both guests and workers. We encourage our guests to prolong the use of towels and avoid unnecessary water waste. We separate each type of waste and dispose of it in the corresponding containers, among other individual actions that have become a habit for our workers and that have resulted in a rational use of resources and materials.

In the field of daily cleaning of the accommodations, we have implemented the purchase of bulk products and the use of dispensers to avoid single-use plastic containers. We have reduced the use of water in cleaning processes, we carry out full loads of washing machines and we hang clothes to avoid using the dryer.

Within the administrative, reception and reservations area, we have asked suppliers to issue digital invoices as far as possible, we avoid printing documents and we recycle the paper used, minimizing the consumption of paper, cardboard and printing ink.

We are convinced that we need to implement many more measures and improve processes, but we feel that we are on the right path to achieve the minimum environmental impact of our business activity, improving our local environment, with a global vision.
