At Garden Hotels, we believe that being responsible is a daily choice, and we are proud to share inspiring stories from our team that embody this philosophy under the slogan #IChooseToBeResponsible. As we already did with the stories of the receptionists Nuria and Joan and one of our cooks, Lorena, today we want to highlight Joana, this time our dynamic housekeeper, whose energy and dedication are a shining example of how small changes can have a big impact.
Joana is a real force of nature: after her working day, she still has enough energy left to go salsa dancing, practice yoga and Chi Kung. This vitality is not only reflected in her personal life, but also in her work, where she leads with passion and commitment. She and her team have taken on an important mission: to promote the use of reusable and refillable water containers in our hotels.
A sustainable initiative for all
One of the actions we have carried out at Garden Hotels is the installation of water fountains in the corridors of our establishments, accessible to both customers and employees. These fountains are part of our commitment to corporate social responsibility and sustainability. Specifically, it is the “No Plastic” programme, which aims to reduce the use of single-use plastics. Joana, with her infectious enthusiasm, has been a key player in the implementation and promotion of this initiative.
She has taken it upon herself to inform everyone about the importance of using reusable containers and tries to make it easy for our guests to understand how and why they should use these fountains. Her aim is clear: to minimise environmental impact and encourage more sustainable behaviour among all those who pass through our hotels.
Joana’s commitment goes beyond her work. She, like us, knows that change starts by example, which is why she always carries her own reusable bottle with her. Because every small step counts; if we all use reusable containers, we can significantly reduce plastic waste. It is a simple but powerful way to care for our planet. In addition, we believe that having access to fresh, purified water at all times is also a convenience that our guests appreciate, and knowing that they are contributing to a greater cause makes their experience at Garden Hotels even more special.
We invite all our guests to join Joana and her team in this initiative. By choosing reusable containers, you are not only making a responsible choice for yourself, but also for our planet. Together, we can make a significant difference and continue to move towards a more sustainable future. #IChooseToBeResponsible is not just a slogan, it is a way of life.
