I believe that businesses are key to driving change. It’s very encouraging to see a prestigious establishment like Les Sources de Caudalie taking steps to reduce its carbon footprint.

I engage with them during meetings, sharing my knowledge about the state of climate change and biodiversity, discussing what I've observed during my reports, and focusing on issues relevant to luxury hospitality. I then invite them to ask questions. It’s always a pleasure to share my experiences with professionals and collaboratively identify actionable areas.

The staff at Les Sources are very interested in environmental issues and eager to change, while being aware of the luxury hotel's inherent impact. I support this kind of positive dynamic, especially when it resonates across the team.

Firstly, avoid flying. Personally, I haven’t flown for vacations in five years; my last flight was to Iceland in 2019. Since then, I only choose destinations accessible by boat, rail, or road. However, flying doesn’t have to mean abandoning eco-responsibility. Simple actions can significantly reduce one’s carbon footprint: eat less meat and fish, avoid single-use items, choose greener transport options, use air conditioning and heating moderately, and prefer off-the-beaten-path attractions!
