A MORE RESPONSIBLE STAY, THE KORNER WAY
At Korner Hotels, sustainability is evident in every detail, from the organic breakfast to the suppliers we choose. Here’s an overview of our specific initiatives for a more responsible stay.
A More Responsible Stay, the Korner Way
At Korner Hotels, sustainability isn't just a mission statement displayed in the room. It's evident in every detail of your stay—from your breakfast plate to the bed linens—through our day-to-day practices and the partners we choose. Here's how it works in practice.
Sustainable Food We work with artisans and producers from the Paris region through short supply chains: Brut de Pains for organic sourdough bread, PrimFruits for seasonal fruit selected from local growers, and MySpresso for 100% organic, fair-trade coffee, sourced directly from certified cooperatives and artisan-roasted in France for each delivery. Its packaging is handled by APF France Handicap, which supports the employment of people with disabilities. More generally, we keep single-use packaging to a minimum in the guest rooms and at the buffet.
Reducing our environmental impact: Filtered water to limit the use of plastic bottles; linens changed only upon request; washing machines and dishwashers set to eco mode; motion-sensor lighting in most of our common areas; refurbished computers at the front desk; and certified eco-labeled cleaning products. These are simple actions, but they are implemented consistently across our 11 hotels.
Encouraging good habits: a digital menu, invoices by email, electronic payments to reduce the need to transport cash, signage for waste sorting, recommendations for bike paths, and a subway map available as soon as you arrive. Our deliveries are handled by Stuart, a low-carbon solution—because one more good habit is never one too many.
Solidarity Initiatives: Our Intimani rugs, handmade in Madagascar, help fund medical care and education for local children. Our Re-Belle jams make the most of “imperfect” fruit that would otherwise have been thrown away, while supporting professional integration. Our unsold food is redistributed through Too Good To Go to combat food waste.
Suppliers who share our standards We choose partners whose commitments are concrete and measurable. Gallia and Elis, our linen suppliers, and Filfa, our cleaning partner, all rank in the top 5% of companies worldwide assessed by EcoVadis. Behind these certifications are tangible results: 245 metric tons of CO₂ avoided by Gallia in 2025 thanks to 100% French rapeseed fuel, a washing technology that reduces water consumption from 11 to 3.4 liters per kilogram, and 70% of Elis’s used textiles recycled or reused. Measurable commitments, not promises.
A conviction, not a constraint. Lifestyle, hospitality, and sustainability are not at odds with one another. They complement each other naturally. We prove it every day, in each of our 11 hotels in Paris.
