Port Hotels, a hotel chain in the Valencian Community, is taking a significant step in its fight against food waste by partnering with Too Good To Go, the world's leading app for reducing food surplus.
The objective of this agreement is to improve the quality of the environment, as well as reduce the impact of tourist activity in the cities in which Port Hotels operates.
It encompasses all the actions carried out in terms of sustainability, social responsibility and commitment to the territories in which it operates.
Last week our office staff participated in a sustainability training on the occasion of World Earth Day, where they analyzed the impact of the tourism sector on our environment.
As part of its commitment to sustainability and resource efficiency, the Valencia-based hotel chain Port Hotels is launching a new system to monitor and reduce food waste in its kitchens. The pilot project is being carried out at the Hotel Port Europa in Calpe, and is a step forward in its ‘Guests of the Planet’ environmental strategy.
The initiative incorporates advanced technology to collect data in real time using smart digital scales. This system makes it possible to accurately measure and analyse daily food waste, identify critical points in processes and apply specific strategies for improvement. The goal: to optimise the use of resources, reduce operating costs and minimise environmental impact.
This project is developed in line with the principles of THE PLEDGE on Food Waste, a global platform that encourages companies in the tourism and catering sector to adopt good practices in the prevention of food waste. In addition, it actively contributes to the fulfilment of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, especially SDG 2 (Zero Hunger), 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), 13 (Climate Action) and 17 (Partnerships for Achieving the Goals).
