Sustainability & Community Engagement at The Barcelona EDITION

The Barcelona EDITION is committed to reducing its environmental impact while making a positive contribution to the local community. This commitment is reflected in our Green Key, Biosphere, Ecostars Silver E3***and LEED Gold certifications, alongside the VERIFIED™ Responsible Hospitality designation by Forbes Travel Guide, recognizing our commitment to responsible luxury hospitality.

Sustainability is at the heart of our operations. Across the hotel, thoughtful measures help minimize waste and reduce our environmental footprint. Wooden room keys, paper straws, plastic-free minibars, recycled paper products and refillable bathroom amenities reflect our commitment to conserving resources and protecting the environment for future generations while creating a more sustainable guest experience.

Our culinary philosophy celebrates local, seasonal, and responsibly sourced ingredients. Guests can enjoy sustainably sourced seafood, free-range eggs, locally produced ingredients, purified water served in reusable glass bottles, and environmentally conscious packaging that helps reduce waste while supporting local producers.

The Barcelona EDITION prioritizes native Mediterranean plants, water-efficient irrigation and biodiversity-friendly landscaping to reduce water consumption and environmental impact, while supporting local biodiversity and creating habitats for birds and pollinators.

Our employees continue to volunteer and engage with the local community through social and environmental initiatives, including Pedaleja by La Marató de TV3, supporting health research, and Beach Clean-Up Day. Year-round, our Pride initiatives support the LGBTQIA+ community through fundraising initiatives and partnerships with Ahora Dónde and Observatori Contra l'Homofòbia.

Active participation in social and economic impact initiatives through collaboration with local nonprofit organizations. From donations of textiles and equipment to fundraising initiatives, our collaborations with Trinijove and Fundació Roure support projects for people in situations of social vulnerability, while our partnership with Associació A21 contributes to human trafficking awareness initiatives.

Turn off lights, air conditioning, and taps when not in use. Small actions can make a meaningful difference in reducing energy and water consumption while preserving our shared environment.

Our Concierge team can recommend authentic local businesses, neighborhood restaurants, independent shops, and hidden gems beyond traditional tourist routes. By making mindful choices, you help support the local economy, reduce your environmental impact, and preserve the unique culture and character of Barcelona.
