Environmental Commitment - Shiadu Hotels

Sustainable Mission SHIADU

Shiadu is committed to providing a quality experience and genuine hospitality, promoting sustainable practices that respect the environment and support the local community. This mission is reflected in all of our operations and policies. During your stay, you can count on:

Prioritization of Organic Foods

Breakfasts are prepared with organic products, with ingredients from our Chamboa Organic Farm, reinforcing our mission of freshness and sustainability. We seek to minimize the use of processed products, promoting seasonal and local options.

Water Preservation

We implement water efficiency technologies, including low-flow devices on faucets and showers. We encourage guests to collaborate in the reuse of towels and sheets, through signage and direct communication.

Reduction of Environmental Impact and Energy Efficiency

We use renewable energy sources and promote energy efficiency by installing LED lighting and motion sensors in common areas. Additionally, we are moving towards gradually replacing our fleet with 100% electric vehicles. We monitor energy consumption and promote awareness among employees and guests.

 

Waste Management

We promote waste separation in all of our properties, providing appropriate containers and training employees in best practices. We reduce the use of disposable plastics and opt for biodegradable and recyclable materials whenever possible. We implement policies to reduce waste and encourage guests to contribute with their collaboration.

 

Support for the Local Community

Whenever possible, we prioritize local suppliers and promote regional culture and craftsmanship, offering experiences that highlight the authenticity of the area. We develop partnerships with local companies and associations, contributing to the economic and social development of the surrounding community.

Inclusion and Diversity

Shiadu believes that inclusion is fundamental for sustainable development. We implement recruitment policies that promote diversity and equal opportunities, ensuring that all employees, regardless of their origin, gender, age, or ability, have equal opportunities for growth. We encourage a culture of respect and support for diversity.

Carbon Footprint Compensation

We calculate our carbon footprint annually and will compensate emissions from 2025 through actions such as tree planting and other environmental regeneration projects. These initiatives aim to contribute to the restoration of biodiversity and promote practices aligned with global goals for mitigating climate change.

ISO 14001 Environmental Standard

In 2024, we are implementing the environmental standard ISO 14001. This certification evaluates environmental performance and provides recognition of Shiadu as a company that meets high environmental performance requirements. We are committed to complying with the legal and regulatory requirements applicable to our activity and to identifying and implementing actions that promote continuous improvement of our Environmental Management System.

Organic Production - Quinta da Chamboa

We encourage a healthy and high-quality diet and give preference to products from local or homemade production. In all of our units, we try to have organic foods for breakfast whenever possible, most of them coming from our own production on an organic farm in Alentejo. WE PRODUCE OUR ORGANIC OLIVE OIL In various hotels and guesthouses, they are experiencing this thanks to this Galician olive from our traditional non-intensive culture in Alentejo, with trees over 40 years old, hand-picked! We don’t use chemicals, so we don’t harm the land, insects are still alive, helping to pollinate and feed the birds, and we are all happier and healthier! HAPPY CHICKENS AND ORGANIC EGGS In the context of Shiadu’s Sustainability, all the eggs we serve for breakfast in Lisbon and with which we prepare all our cakes and other delicacies are organic and come from Herdade da Chamboa, Shiadu farm in Arraiolos. The chickens live outdoors and at night sleep in mobile coops that we move weekly in the orchard to help fertilize the soil.
