We are committed
to reducing our GHG by 2030:
Pierre & Vacances – Center Parcs Group
emits
1,1 million tonnes of CO₂
per year,
the equivalent of the carbon footprint
of a city of 110,000 inhabitants.
*
To do this, we will mobilise our guests,
owners, catering partners
and main suppliers.
Act for a positiv-impact tourism

Adagio’s carbon footprint
is included in that of Accor Hotel.
Just being aware of the situation
is no longer enough. As leader in the world
of proximity tourism, we have to introduce short,
medium and long-term measures.
Our guests travel

emissions:
What is the carbon
footprint of a holiday in
one of our destinations?
In what ways
can we reduce it?
The Adam family drove 3 hours from Brussels.

to the energy used by
our accommodation
and facilities
(vs 2019)
To halve

(vs 2019)
Our ambition
To contribute to carbon
neutrality through a CO₂ emissions
reduction strategy, in line
with the Paris Agreement.
Under the terms of the Paris Agreement, global emissions
need to be cut by half by 2030 compared to current levels
in order to limit global warming. This means a reduction
of approximately 5% each year until 2030.
i.e.
-5%

New partnerships focusing
on sustainable mobility

And at teatime, pancake party!
Choose suppliers who favour
less carbon-inducing
products and services
Limit the amount
of waste we produce
Continue developing
our travel and
teleworking policy
Help our franchise holders reduce
the carbon footprint associated
with their energy consumption
Employee travel, waste management
at the site, purchases for building work,
renovations and operation, the sites managed
by franchise holders, the maeva.com
offering etc. all produce GHG emissions.
Two ways
ahead:
The family
goes to eat
The Adam family finds a shady terrace,
the children have fun and the menu
is very tempting.
But the meat, vegetables and fruit served
induce carbon emissions linked to the use
of fertilizers, deforestation and transport.
They enjoy their time at
the site, their accommodation
and the facilities
But the Adam family knows it:
the energy used (gas, fuel oil,
electricity production) for heating,
electricity and hot water emits CO₂.
Looking ahead to 2030

Renovations and insulation
work on buildings.
Replacement of energy-inefficient
appliances in our accommodation
and facilities.
Training of our employees and
encouragement of our guests to adopt
more responsible behaviours.
Sufficiency
short term
Discontinuation of the use of gas
in favour of renewable energies.
Development
of renewable energies.
Increase in the number
of “green” energy contracts.
Decarbonisation
medium and long term
We are working with our catering
partners to reduce the carbon
footprint of the meals: tasty
alternatives to animal proteins;
local and seasonal products;
waste reduction…
We encourage our guests to use more
sustainable methods of transport:
They enjoy
their holiday...
The on-site teams work hard every day
to ensure the Adam family enjoys
their holidays.
our goal :
To halve
the emissions resulting
from the energy consumption
of our accommodation and
facilities (water-based facilities
and shared spaces).
OUR VISION
Our progress along the path of
ecological transition is speeding up and
is part of a long-term commitment...
…and we are taking our guests, owners
and partners along with us.
Like 80% of our guests,
they come by car.
