Sustainability

With its exceptional history, Beau-Rivage has always looked to the future and is committed to being a leader in sustainable development. Since 2009, we have been fully engaged in social, economic and environmental development.​

​​We are proud to be a partner of myclimate "Cause we care", an initiative for climate protection and sustainable tourism. As part of this initiative, our guests have the opportunity to voluntarily offset the CO2 emissions generated by their stay. At the same time, Beau-Rivage doubles these contributions and invests them in municipal reforestation in Nicaragua and in its own sustainability through its 2020-2025 environmental plan.

Dominique Gauthier, Chef of Beau-Rivage Genève's fine-dining institution since 2001, is above all driven by passion for fine seasonal ingredients he develops hand in hand with local artisans, supporting our terroir and ensuring exclusive access to exceptional produce for guests of Le Chat-Botté.​

The Chef is not only expert in immersing you in his top-flight culinary creations, it is also his role to forge ties and meaning with the artisans who create true taste. The taste of authenticity, simplicity and knowledge itself, which is inseparable from eating well. This is the philosophy found at Le Chat-Botté, which offers 65% locally sourced products at its table.

Since 2018, Beau-Rivage Genève has been using the GeniLac solution for its air conditioning system. GeniLac is the largest ecological thermal network in Geneva, an innovative, 100% renewable solution that uses lake water for cooling. The quantitative benefits are: 80% reduction in CO2 emissions, no more use of greenhouse gas refrigerants, 80% reduction in electricity consumption and 10% reduction in water consumption for the cooling systems.​

ISO 14001 certified for more than 10 years, Beau-Rivage has put in place an ambitious environmental plan for 2025.

Sorting of waste and development of recycling are among the main initiatives implemented, with the target of reaching 76% in 2020. ​

The goal for 2025 is to reach 85% of waste recycling.
