LE LAZ', AN ECO-RESPONSIBLE HOTEL IN PARIS 9

The LAZ' team is aware that it is essential to make a commitment to the environment, and is committed to sustainable tourism. This approach, the brainchild of LAZ' employees keen to apply the right ecological and greenhouse gas emission reflexes in their working environment, involves processes and actions at every level of the establishment's operations. As part of a continuous improvement approach to its environmental and social management, the LAZ' Hôtel is asserting its responsibility in favour of sustainable tourism in France by obtaining certifications such as the Clef Verte label and obtaining its environmental label with Butterfly Tourism.

HOTELS & ECO-RESPONSIBILITY

LE LAZ' AND ITS VISION OF TOURISM

Nestled in the heart of the 9ᵉ arrondissement of Paris, between Pigalle and Saint-Lazare, LAZ' Hôtel Spa Urbain is much more than just a place to stay. It is a space for relaxation and conviviality where contemporary design, a warm atmosphere and sustainable commitments come together. Aware of the urgency of climate change and the growing expectations of travellers, our customers and teams in terms of eco-responsibility, LAZ' Hôtel is committed to an ongoing approach to tourism that is more respectful of the environment.

ECOLOGICAL PHILOSOPHY AND VALUES

At LAZ', our commitment to the environment is not just a fad, but a state of mind that is rooted in the culture of the establishment. The hotel's philosophy is based on a responsible approach to hospitality, incorporating concrete practices to reduce its ecological footprint. Every decision, every investment, every daily gesture is part of a sustainable vision. Its approach to sustainable tourism, aimed at preserving the planet's resources and living better together, is sincere. Its humble and simple actions try to respond as much as possible to this vision. Any world traveller concerned about the impact of their consumption choices will certainly find an echo in this approach.

TOWARDS SUSTAINABLE TOURISM

A STRONG ECOLOGICAL COMMITMENT

The Clef Verte (Green Key) label is a global benchmark for tourist establishments committed to sustainable development. Developed by the Teragir association, it is the 1st international ecolabel for tourist accommodation and, through its unique certification, recognises establishments committed to a continuous and progressive approach to sustainable tourism that complies with strict and evolving environmental criteria.

POSITIVE NOTE AND LABELING

GREEN KEY LABEL CERTIFICATION

Le LAZ’ Hôtel est fier d’être certifié Clef Verte 2025, le premier label environnemental international pour les hébergements touristiques durables. L'obtention de ce label pour la 2ème année consécutive reflète un engagement sincère et exigeant en faveur de pratiques écoresponsables dans tous les aspects de la gestion hôtelière : des achats à la gestion de l’énergie, en passant par la sensibilisation des équipes et des clients. Obtenir ce label, et le conserver, implique une évaluation régulière, une transparence des actions menées et un réel esprit d’amélioration continue partagé par toutes les parties impliquées dans ce processus.

CRITERIA FOR OBTAINING THE LABEL

The Green Key label certifies that a tourist establishment meets over a hundred criteria in all areas of sustainable tourism management. The main criteria for certification include: sustainable management of water and energy, waste reduction, use of environmentally-friendly products, involvement of customers and staff, and a responsible purchasing policy. The labelling process includes regular audits and the collection of evidence to attest to the seriousness of the establishments committed to this approach. The LAZ' Hôtel meets all these requirements, demonstrating its seriousness and rigour in its eco-responsible approach.

ECO-RESPONSIBLE PRACTICES AT THE LAZ' HOTEL

Through its actions and support, LAZ' is professionalising its approach to eco-responsible tourism. Consolidating our actions in favour of the voluntary sector and the environment and including them in our activities allows us to better control our actions, to determine the margins for progress that are still possible and to integrate these new working methods into the overall running of the establishment. Here are just a few of the eco-responsible practices implemented within the establishment in terms of intelligent waste management (reduction at source, collection such as coffee grounds and recycling), control of consumption and water, responsible purchasing (in particular for food and maintenance, active and collective awareness-raising).

WATER AND ENERGY MANAGEMENT

The hotel has introduced rigorous monitoring of consumption with sub-meters to better analyse and control its use in energy-intensive areas (swimming pool, laundry, etc.). All rooms are equipped with a centralised energy management system and electricity is automatically cut off when guests are absent.

To limit water consumption, the hotel ensures that leaks are detected quickly, flow rates are monitored and equipment is optimised. The cleaning products used are stored in secure conditions to prevent any pollution. This vigilance is reflected in every detail of daily operations.

WASTE REDUCTION

The LAZ' waste management policy is one of the most advanced among Parisian hotels. Sorting is organised for all categories of waste (glass, plastic, metal, cardboard, wood, bio-waste, etc.), with instructions visible to guests and easy access to sorting equipment within the establishment.

LAZ' has chosen to entrust the sorting, management and recycling of its bio-waste to Alchimistes in order to limit its carbon footprint and create new value from its organic waste. All bio-waste collected is composted, reprocessed and used in the soil of the Ile-de-France region.

Finally, to combat food waste, the hotel is working with the Too Good To Go platform, enabling its customers to pick up unsold food at low prices while preventing it from being thrown away.

USE OF ECOLOGICAL AND ORGANIC PRODUCTS

To ensure consistency, LAZ' has introduced a sustainable purchasing policy. This involves Eliminating single-use plastic products. For example, Castalie micro-filtered water is available in glass carafes in the rooms and a water fountain is available in the bar to avoid the consumption of plastic bottles. Paper, hand towels and brochures are eco-labelled or supplied by organisations with a positive social impact. The food on offer is carefully studied and prioritises organic, home-made, short-distance and fair-trade products.

A COLLECTIVE AND UNITED APPROACH

Through Green Key certification, the LAZ' commits itself each year to a sustainable, ecologically virtuous and socially responsible approach to tourism by applying and passing on the good practices and recommendations of the Label to its teams, customers and suppliers. But the LAZ' commitment is not limited to the walls of the hotel. It extends to projects with a social and environmental impact. Here are some of the active collaborations with associations and local players to support local projects linked to sustainable development or solidarity.

SOLIKEND

Participation in the Solikend platform, which offers solidarity night bookings with all proceeds going to associations chosen by customers.

LES JOYEUX RECYCLEURS

Coffee grounds, used capsules, batteries and even ink cartridges are also recycled via Les Joyeux Recycleurs, another solidarity player that employs workers at the end of their professional integration pathway.

BETTERFLY TOURISM

Working with Betterfly Tourism to establish a clear environmental label, transparently measuring the hotel's ecological impact and enabling everyone to make an informed choice.

NO COMPROMISE ON COMFORT

RESPONSIBLE STAY & 4-STAR SERVICE
