Direct impact
As a service business (hotel industry), the impact on the environment scope 1 & scope 2 is limited to operations: energy (electricity or even fossil fuels for heating, essentially) and miscellaneous (water consumed by customers, waste generated). We also consider that the entire environmental responsibility lies with the final consumer. At this stage, Courbet has not announced a strategy to take into account the reduction of its environmental footprint in its project to upgrade its assets (thermal insulation, heating, waste recycling, etc.).
Indirect impact
The takeover of an existing asset to be upgraded is in itself carbon neutral vs. the construction of a new accommodation facility. This avoided expenditure is not valued here. This strategy could by extension be considered to have a positive impact on the environment. Conversely, the “grandfather” carbon expenditure resulting from the original construction of the assets (concrete, metals, soil artificialisation, etc.) is not accounted for. In the long term, we do not anticipate that this original expenditure will have to be compensated.
Due to its location, Courbet will promote by nature a local accommodation model frequented by an essentially national clientele, with the correlative low environmental impact vs. distant destinations.
Courbet’s environmental reporting
As Courbet’s activity is embryonic, the Company does not publish an environmental report and does not communicate on its intention to publish one. It does not publish forecasts for emissions of any kind. The production of waste and the consumption of water in scopes 1 & 2 can nevertheless be anticipated as low in mass, even in the mature phase of the project.
