A more responsible approach at Camping Sunêlia La Presqu'île, Hautes-Alpes
More responsible consumption and commitment to reduce your carbon footprint
In a world where sustainability and ecology are taking on an increasingly central role, it is becoming essential for companies to encourage more responsible consumption of products by their staff.
Not only does this aim to reduce environmental impact, it also fosters a corporate culture based on responsibility and the efficient management of natural and sustainable resources.
Awareness-raising and training
It is vital to raise employee awareness of the environmental issues associated with excessive consumption and wastage of resources. Regular training, workshops and internal communication campaigns can help to instil more eco-responsible habits. For example, informing staff about the impact of over-consumption of paper, energy or plastic can encourage more environmentally-friendly behaviour.
Eco-responsible practices
- Reducing waste: Encouraging moderate use of office supplies (paper, pens, ink cartridges) by favouring digital and double-sided printing.
- Controlling energy consumption: Adopt simple measures such as switching off lights and electrical equipment at the end of the day or using low-energy light bulbs.
- Choosing sustainable products: Favour products that are recyclable, reusable and made from environmentally-friendly materials.
- Encouraging car-pooling and soft mobility: Encouraging employees to use less polluting means of transport to get to work.
Management involvement
- Involved management: this is a powerful lever for encouraging staff to adopt more responsible practices. A clear internal policy, combined with incentives such as rewards for the most committed teams, can accelerate behavioural change.
By encouraging more responsible consumption, Camping La Presqu'ile is actively helping to conserve resources and reduce its carbon footprint, while cultivating a culture of responsibility and respect for the environment among its employees and campers alike.
