Our path to Sustainability

At Sant Jordi Hostels, we believe that travel can and should be a force for good. We are committed to responsible practices that protect the environment, support local communities, and enhance the experience of our guests.
From selecting local suppliers to implementing eco-friendly technologies, we work daily to minimize our impact and maximize the benefits for our planet and community. Join us as we showcase the initiatives that inspire us and help make tourism a more sustainable and mindful activity.

How Can We Help?

At Sant Jordi Hostels, we don’t just talk about sustainability—we take action. Through a series of concrete initiatives, we are committed to reducing our environmental impact, supporting local communities, and inspiring responsible travel. Here’s how we’re making a difference:

BIOSPHERE Commitment: Building a Sustainable Future

In March 2022, we joined Barcelona’s Sustainable Tourism Commitment, a project promoting a balanced and community-focused approach to tourism. Our efforts include preserving cultural heritage, reducing our ecological footprint, and supporting sustainable policies in the Mediterranean region. Together, we work to ensure tourism respects our environment and strengthens our communities.

DONATIONS: Small Gestures, Big Changes

At Sant Jordi Hostels, we organize clothing drives and charity dinners to donate proceeds to nonprofit organizations. We believe that every small gesture counts, and we are proud to contribute to the well-being of those in need.

GO-GREEN: Sustainable Mobility for Everyone

We provide our guests with eco-friendly transportation options like bicycles and skateboards, while also promoting public transport use through detailed guides and resources. Travel responsibly while enjoying your adventure in Barcelona.

NATIONAL PRODUCTS: Supporting Local Communities

Our breakfasts feature locally sourced products, carefully chosen for their quality, freshness, and proximity. By supporting local suppliers, we not only provide the best experience for our guests but also reduce our carbon footprint.

PAPERLESS RECEPTION: Digitalizing the Future

Since 2020, we have implemented a property management system (PMS) that allows us to operate almost paper-free. This change significantly reduces our environmental impact while modernizing our operational processes.

Environmental Best Practices for Our Team

Our sustainability philosophy is also reflected in our team’s daily activities. From energy and water efficiency to responsible waste management, we promote an environmentally conscious workplace. We also educate our employees and guests on how their decisions can contribute to a more sustainable world.

Environmental Best Practices for Our Guests

In all our facilities, you’ll find signs encouraging water and energy conservation and proper recycling practices. Small daily actions can have a big impact on preserving our environment.

At Sant Jordi Hostels, our commitment to sustainability is not just a goal—it’s how we understand tourism. Together, we can make a difference. 🌿
