In Gran Canaria every drop counts, the ancient settlers already used systems such as irrigation ditches and cisterns to capture and distribute water.

Efficient measures applied in the hotel to save water:

• Single lever taps that facilitate the regulation of the flow rate.
• Efficient showers and washbasins with atomisers.
• Early morning watering with automatic control.
• Preventive maintenance of the installations to avoid leaks and ensure they work properly.

Instructions to our guests:

• Change towels only if they are on the floor.
• Good consumption practices.

Awareness and training for our staff:

• Our staff receive training focused on minimising water consumption.
• Code of Best Practices adapted to each department.

Water consumption per stay has shot up in 2020 due to the closure due to the Coronavirus pandemic which, by reducing stays, increases the ratio.

Energy consumption leads to the release of CO2 into the atmosphere, thus contributing to climate change.

That is why we apply measures for its reduction in the Hotel:

• Generation of ACS from solar thermal panels.
• Reclamation of the luminaire for LED and low consumption.
• We acquire efficient equipment to ensure the greatest comfort to our customers with a rational energy consumption.
• Automatic disconnection devices for air conditioning if guests open balcony doors.
• Presence sensors in bathrooms.
• R&D department that develops controls to improve energy efficiency (temperature control, schedules, etc.).

Indications to our guests:

• Indications of good consumption practices. Awareness and training for our staff:
• Our staff receive training focused on minimising energy consumption.
• Code of Good Practices.

The correct Residue Management is essential in an island system such as Gran Canaria.

At the Hotel we apply numerous measures to improve its efficiency. We always follow the rule of the 3 R's. Reducing is the best way of not generating waste.

Instructions to our guests:

• Recycling bins in the common areas
• Information on good practices in the directory and at the hotel reception.

Awareness and training for our staff:

• Our staff receives training focused on reduction, reuse and recycling.
• Code of Good Practices.

The activities of the hotel sector generate emissions of gases into the atmosphere, causing the greenhouse effect and consequently climate change.

At Princess Hotels & Resorts we want to reduce the impact we generate hotels, is in the environment by reducing this footprint in our therefore we have begun to calculate our carbon footprint.

The protection of natural areas with high ecological or landscape value is essential for their conservation.

The Taurito Princess hotel has 4 nearby Natura spaces:

Natura 2000 is an ecological network of European biodiversity conservation areas. These natural areas belong to Natura 2000. Its purpose is to ensure the long-term survival of species and to halt the habitat types in Europe contributing to biodiversity loss. It is the main instrument for nature conservation in the European Union.
