Some 59 of the holiday parcs have been awarded a Green Key certification, supported by the World Tourism Organisation, for their commitment to sustainability, including five star La Croix du Vieux Pont near Paris and five star LaChapelle in Roussillon, Southern France.
Four more have been awarded a Travelife certification, including Alannia Els Prats and Alannia Costa Dorada, and La Côte Sauvage has been awarded EU Ecolabel certification.
Eurocamp owner ECG (European Camping Group) says it is determined to further reduce its environmental footprint by measuring its impact across four key areas: monitoring the amount of daily water and energy consumed per person; tracking the quantity of waste produced and recycled by parcs; and taking actions to protect biodiversity.
“We offer holidays that bring people closer to nature. It is our duty to protect this heritage so that families can enjoy it for years to come,” says Philippe de Trémiolles, Managing Director of Eurocamp owner ECG.
ECG has also joined the “Communauté du Coq Vert”, launched by the French Public Investment Bank (BPI France) in partnership with the Ecological Transition Agency, and the French Ministry of Ecological Transition.
