A MORE SUSTAINABLE STAY, THE KORNER WAY
At Korner Hotels, our commitment to sustainability is evident in every detail—from our organic breakfast to the suppliers we choose. Here’s an overview of the concrete steps we’re taking to make your stay more sustainable.
A more sustainable vacation, Korner style
At Korner Hotels, our commitment to sustainability goes beyond a simple policy posted in the room. It’s reflected in every detail of your stay—from your breakfast plate to the bed linens, as well as in our operational practices and the partners we choose. Here’s how it all comes together.
Sustainable Food We work with local artisans and producers in the Paris region through short supply chains: Brut de Pains for organic sourdough bread, PrimFruits for seasonal fruits sourced from local producers, and MySpresso for 100% organic and fair-trade coffee, sourced directly from certified cooperatives and artisanal-roasted in France with each delivery. The packaging is handled by APF France Handicap, supporting the integration of people with disabilities. In general, we minimize individual packaging in guest rooms and at the buffet.
Reducing Our Environmental Impact: Filtered water to reduce 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 eco-certified cleaning products. These are simple measures, but they are consistently implemented across our 11 hotels.
Encouraging eco-friendly practices: digital cards, email invoices, and electronic payments to reduce cash handling; waste sorting signs; recommendations for bike paths; and a subway map available upon arrival. Our deliveries are handled by Stuart, a low-carbon solution—because one more eco-friendly choice is always a good thing.
Community Initiatives Our Intimani rugs, handmade in Madagascar, help fund medical care and education for local children. Our Re-Belle jams make use of "imperfect" fruit that would otherwise have been thrown away, while supporting job creation. Our unsold food is redistributed through Too Good To Go to help reduce food waste.
Suppliers who share our standards We choose partners whose commitments are concrete and measurable. Gallia and Elis, our linen suppliers, as well as Filfa, our cleaning partner, are all ranked in the top 5% of companies worldwide as evaluated by EcoVadis. Behind these certifications lie tangible results: 245 tons of CO₂ avoided by Gallia by 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 just promises.
A commitment, not a requirement Lifestyle hospitality and a commitment to sustainability are not mutually exclusive. They complement each other naturally. We demonstrate this every day, in each of our 11 Parisian hotels.
