Environmental Policy

3A HÔTELS LA COLLECTION NICE – Hôtel West End

“For several years now, we have been giving a central place to respect for the environment and social commitment.
The need to limit the impact of our activities on the planet is obvious to us.

Strengthened by our ethical, responsible and supportive values, we consider it essential today to participate and to involve our employees and customers in our efforts to respect and sustain the elements that surround us.

To this end, the 3A Hotels La Collection Nice establishments are committed to a “green” approach through different axes which are
– Water and energy consumption
– Waste management
– Choice of suppliers
– Biodiversity
– Involvement in social issues
– Customer awareness campaign
– Employee awareness campaign

In order to go even further in our desire to improve, our 4 establishments are involved in a certification process with Green Key Label.

After long months of restructuring and the implementation of a multitude of eco-responsible actions, the West End Hotel, the Aston La Scala Hotel, the Beau Rivage Hotel and the Beau Rivage Beach were simultaneously rewarded with the valuable sustainable tourism label in January 2023.

The Green Key label distinguishes tourist accommodation and restaurants committed to a voluntary, effective and dynamic environmental approach. The label is awarded annually by an independent jury made up of experts and professionals from the tourism and environmental sectors.

“Realistic commitments for a sustainable approach, adopt the Green Attitude with us!
