Evok Collection Sustainability
To support Evok Collection’s development, We wanted to implement an approach based on progress and Social and Environmental Responsibility (SER), reflected in our «Ambition for a better future» programme. Our aim is to contribute, action by action, to a more responsible tourism and hotel industry, and to take an active role in civil society in our economic and social environment.
Taking action for the
environment
Biodiversity
We are committed to preserving biodiversity and limiting our impact on ecosystems. Raising awareness about the protection of species is essential. Discover threatened species around the world and the actions being taken to protect them on the IUCN Red List.
Suppliers and employees ethics charter
We involve our partners and suppliers so that they adhere to our social and environmental commitments by signing our supplier ethics charter. We do not allow any collaboration without this agreement.
Energy performance
Evok Collection works to control its energy consumption through the management and monitoring of its equipment, particularly by using Building Management Systems (BMS), as well as by promoting responsible energy use. This pragmatic approach aims to reduce waste and optimize the energy performance of its sites.
Combatting pollution and managing waste
The Group is conscious of the need to manage the waste generated by its business activities, and a number of measures have been taken to reduce and recycle waste.
Raising environmental awareness in the marine environment
The organisation «Ethic Ocean» provides our chefs and sous-chefs with awareness-raising sessions on the sustainable sourcing of seafood produce.
Managing our carbon footprint
Committed to reducing its carbon footprint, the Group builds on an initial carbon assessment conducted in 2019, which has since been expanded to cover all of its properties. This approach provides a comprehensive view of emissions and enables the implementation of targeted reduction measures tailored to each site.
Green Globe
Our addresses, Brach Paris, Brach Madrid, Nolinski Paris, Nolinski Venezia, and Cour des Vosges were awarded the prestigious Green Globe certification, the world’s first certification dedicated to sustainable development in tourism.
Commitment to employment
and education

La Tablée des Chefs
Our chefs, are active in the “Education” wing of the organisation “La Tablée des Chefs”. They run «cook your future» cookery workshops in hostels for young people in difficulty. The aim of these sessions is to encourage culinary curiosity and education in tasty, healthy food, and to forge a social connection.
Working together

Coline en Ré
