Accessibility and environmental sustainability
Holiday Village Florenz
Holiday Village Florenz is a family-run holiday village that celebrates 65 years of activity in2020. The family has always recognized how much the high naturalistic and landscape value of the Po Delta biosphere sould be recognized, preserved and respected.
For this reason, for years our company has been committed to conveying messages of respect for the surrounding nature, introducing initiatives and measures to preserve the environment in which it lives and works.
Some of these initiatives carried out in the past years have meant that the village was awarded with prestigious awards, such as the Ecolabel by Legambiente, the EcoLeader Gold
award from the TripAvisor community of travelers and, lastly, the special mention of the Emilia-Romagna Region as Innovators Officers.
INITIATIVES AND INTERVENTIONS
MADE UNTIL TODAY
The interventions that have been carried out in past years are manifold and varied:
- Energy saving bulbs inside the common areas and all mobil-homes in the village.
- Water consumption reducers by push-button taps to limit the waste of drinking water, for
those who work with us and for guests - Electric cars for our staff, to go around the village without having emissions
- Concentrated cleaning products to limit plastic consumption as much as possible
- Local food products in both the restaurant menus and in the small but well-stocked market
inside the village - Construction of 3 geothermal energy plants for heating / cooling of the main buildings in the
village - Installation of photovoltaic panels for the production of clean electricity with over 1000
square meters of surface - Conversion of public street lighting with LED mode
- Conversion of existing systems (boilers, kitchens, service complexes) from LPG to Natural
Gas - Straws and paper cups to eliminate plastic components and start the “plastic free"
