ARTIEM Hotels has been awarded the 2024 Sustainability Award by Rusticae. The first hotel chain in Europe to be certified as a B Corp has received the award for its ongoing commitment to a positive impact on people and the environment.
With two accommodations in the Club, ARTIEM Asturias (Quintueles, Asturias) and ARTIEM Carlos (Es Castell, Menorca), ARTIEM combines profitability with a model focused on caring for the environment and people. Its initiatives include the transformation of microplastics into artistic objects, in collaboration with local artisan workshops, and its philosophy based on the circular economy. This commitment has earned them recertification as a B Corp in 2024, consolidating them as sustainability benchmarks in the hotel sector at a global level.
The Rusticae charming hotel club yesterday held its Annual Gala, which brought together all the Club's member accommodations to share experiences, strengthen ties and recognize the effort and excellence of the best accommodations. Within the framework of this event, the Rusticae 2024 Awards were presented, which reward establishments and professionals who have stood out throughout the year for their commitment to quality, innovation and sustainability in the hotel sector.
Rusticae began in Asturias in 1996, with Isabel and Carlota in charge of a small, charming hotel. There they learned that true charm lies in the small things, in the details, in the things that are almost unseen but that touch the soul. Their desire is to discover those little gems, those personal projects, those wonderful people who support them, that dream come true that is each Rusticae establishment.
ARTIEM is the fruit of the commitment and passion of Pepe Díaz and Gabriela Aliaga, who founded their first hotel in Menorca with a clear purpose: happiness. Thanks to this approach, ARTIEM became the first European hotel chain certified as BCorp.
ARTIEM's Positive Impact philosophy seeks to reduce its own carbon footprint, promote conscious and sustainable eating, efficiently manage water and apply the principles of the circular economy. All of this is based on values ??such as quality work, equity and inclusiveness, thus contributing to its purpose of inspiring people to be happy.
This award received by ARTIEM Hotels shows how the hotel chain carries out the most cutting-edge responsible tourism practices in the industry, strengthening its reputation and generating greater trust among clients and business partners.
The hotel chain continues to consolidate itself as a source of inspiration for other companies when it comes to achieving a better future for everyone. This new award celebrates those who work to reduce social inequalities and demonstrates that it is feasible to generate value in a responsible and sustainable way. ARTIEM invites everyone to join this journey towards a more promising future, where positive impact leads innovation and sustainable growth.
