In a world where sustainability has become an urgent priority, every little action counts. From switching off the lights to recycling, every little action helps to preserve our precious natural resources. And now, a fascinating study has revealed how even something as simple as taking a shower can make a big difference, especially when you’re staying somewhere like SLEEP’N.
STUDY AT SLEEP’N
Some time ago, a study was carried out at the University of Surrey, in which we took part as accommodation providers to test the experiment. It explored how a timer could shorten shower duration. This study, featured in The Conversation, reveals that knowing the duration can significantly influence tourists’ behaviour. The aim is to encourage them to adopt more sustainable practices.
So, how exactly does a stay at SLEEP’N contribute to this fight against water wastage?
Firstly, SLEEP’N is committed to sustainability in every aspect of its operations, from energy efficiency to water conservation. Every detail is carefully considered to minimise our environmental impact. Shower timers are one of the many ways in which we promote responsible water consumption amongst our guests.
Every shorter shower, every drop saved, is a small step forward in the fight against water wastage.
ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS
Beyond this temporary experiment, when you stay at SLEEP’N, you immerse yourself in a genuine culture of environmental awareness. We implement various measures in our rooms, such as changing towels every 3 days, using water efficiently and reusing detergents. All of these measures are designed to promote sustainability across all our operations. This has enabled us to reduce our water footprint by 35 per cent compared to the industry average (data provided by Ecostar).
The human element is fundamental to driving real change. We are proud to be the first B Corp accommodation in Spain and the second in Europe. This certifies our commitment to the highest standards of social and environmental performance. It also underlines our commitment to transparency and corporate responsibility. This achievement is the result of our constant quest for improvement and our firm commitment to delivering the very best. And this journey is made easier thanks to the support of our suppliers, partners and customers. They help us to achieve our shared goals.
So the next time you’re planning your holiday, staying at SLEEP’N won’t just be a place to rest, but a chance to change the world with us. Always with one goal in mind: we dream of being the best accommodation FOR the world.
