ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY

Hotel Torretta is located in a green and panoramic area, very close to the town parks, spa facilities and sports plants. Its favourable geographical position, at few chilometres from Florence, Lucca, Siena and Pisa makes it an ideal destination from which you can start your daily tours and discover our exciting and enchanting Tuscany.
Our mission has always been the environment respect.

- Communication: information and sensitisation of our staff, our guests and the local entities in charge of the environmental control and protection, in order to obtain a cooperation and strengthen the trust in the offered services.

The Management commits, moreover, to awaken and control, wherever possible, our suppliers who may cause a detrimental impact on the environment with their activities.
The Management also confirms its commitment in supplying resources, training and support to achieve the set targets.
All our internal and external collaborators (employees and suppliers) are invited to cooperate with us for ensuring a correct working of the Environmental Management System and respect the line of conduct stated by the Management itself.

The improvement elements our Hotel is focusing on to reduce the impacts originating from meaningful environmental aspects are the following:

A further engagement, aiming to minimize the impact caused by the performed activities is to evaluate in advance, as long as possible, the environmental effects caused by all the new activities and by the managing changes in general, but also to adopt all the necessary measures to prevent the waste of materials and energy.
