Our sustainable approach

At Bénodet, respect for the environment and quality of life are our top priorities. TheTourist Office is fully committed to sustainable development, in line with the commitments of the municipality, which has been awarded the Blue Flag label.

Our eco-responsible actions

For several years now, we have been taking practical steps to limit our ecological impact and promote more responsible tourism.

  • Reasonable management of resources: selective sorting, reduction in paper printing, use of eco-materials for communication media, energy and water savings on our premises.
  • Raising visitor awareness: distributing eco-responsible guides, promoting soft mobility (cycling, walking), encouraging respect for the natural environment (beaches, paths, biodiversity).
  • Support for committed local players: accommodation, restaurants, service providers and producers who share our values of sustainability.

A daily commitment

TheTourist Office applies sustainable practices in its internal operations and in the way it welcomes and informs visitors.

  • Reducing our environmental footprint: limiting paper printing in favour of digital media, choosing recycled or recyclable materials, rational management of energy and water.
  • Rigorous selective sorting within the office and raising team awareness of eco-actions.
  • Responsible purchasing: selection of local suppliers and/or suppliers committed to a virtuous approach, choice of sustainable and environmentally-friendly products.

Our approach is based on a strong conviction: tomorrow’s tourism is being built today, with concrete actions and a collective commitment. TheBénodet Tourist Office also takes action on a daily basis with its teams, through responsible internal practices and a sustainable purchasing policy. Our aim is to develop our services in a spirit of continuous improvement, to ensure that our region is vibrant, attractive and respectful of its environment.
