Programs & Practices
-
Mirbeau Spa partners with sustainable and eco-friendly vendors that provide products that are ethically packaged, sourced and free from toxic ingredients.
-
All water source heat pumps, that both heat and cool the property, are upgraded to more efficient and energy reducing systems.
-
Operationally, we have implemented several programs to reduce water consumption with specific housekeeping standards.
-
We have reduced our use of plastic by replacing water bottles with glass carafes in our guest rooms and reducing the use of single use plastic items resort wide.
-
All property lighting is via LED bulbs to reduce energy consumption.
-
We have installed complimentary electric vehicle charging stations for guests that have adopted emission free electric vehicles.
-
Peddled bicycles are available as alternative emission free transportation to and from the local area.
-
In the Bistro & Wine Bar, we donate our used cooking oil to produce bio diesel to give it a second life and keep it out of the landfill. Furthermore, we have adopted bio-degradable and compostable cups, straws, and reduced significantly our reliance of single use items.
-
We are increasing our sourcing of hyper local food products to support local agriculture and reduce transportation and associated emissions.
-
Our expansive Giverny inspired gardens and associated ponds help to combat climate change as they are instrumental in carbon sequestration and purifying the air as our gardens grow.
