Sustainable Procurement

At abba Hotels, we integrate sustainability into every area of activity, eliminate single-use plastics, and prioritize suppliers committed to the environment because we believe every decision counts in building a more responsible and sustainable hospitality industry.

The three fundamental practices of our hotels:

1. Reduced use of plastic and shift to sustainable alternatives

  • Elimination of single-use plastic items
    We have removed single-use plastics from all hotel operations, including guest rooms and dining areas.
     
  • Reduction of single-dose products
    We have also drastically reduced the use of single-dose and single-use products, replacing them, for example, with larger, lower-impact containers.
     
  • Commitment to bulk or refillable dispensers
    We opt for bulk or refillable dispensers, a more sustainable alternative that maintains the carefully curated and minimalist style characteristic of our brand.
 

2. Selection of sustainable products and suppliers

We view sustainability as a shared value chain. Therefore, we collaborate with suppliers aligned with our commitment, ensuring the sourcing of sustainably produced raw materials. We integrate into their sustainability plans and promote the purchase of certified products and responsible processes.

Sustainability must be maintained throughout the value chain. We establish corporate purchasing agreements and policies that allow us to work with suppliers who share our vision and sustainable commitment.

SUSTAINABILITY PLANS OF OUR SUPPLIERS:

  • RECYCLING
    We work with suppliers who implement active recycling and waste minimization programs as part of their environmental commitment.
  • SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTS
    We provide eco-friendly, vegan, and low-impact products across all our facilities, reinforcing our commitment to a more responsible model.

  • ENERGY EFFICIENCY
    We collaborate with suppliers committed to energy efficiency in all processes as part of a more sustainable supply chain.

 

3. Creation of sustainable food policy

We hold the ECOFOODIES certification, which guarantees our high standards for healthy and sustainable food within the hospitality sector.

Together with ECOFOODIES, we develop a gastronomy offering based on sustainable purchasing management, achieving a triple positive impact:

  • Protecting the environment, promoting health, and encouraging animal welfare
  • At least 20% vegan or vegetarian options
  • A minimum of 10% local and zero-kilometer products
  • At least 10% organic products
