How Cheese & Wine and Guests Can Make a Difference

At Cheese & Wine, we are dedicated to promoting a culture of sustainability, and we believe that the collaboration between our establishment and the guests is the key to achieve our environmental goals. By working together, we can make a meaningful difference in protecting our planet while still enjoying everything that the beautiful city of Lisbon has to offer. Here are some of the sustainable practices we implemented and share with our guests:

Water Conservation

To conserve water, we kindly ask our guests to consider reusing towels and sheets during their stay, rather than requesting daily changes. In addition, we partner with a certified "green" laundry company to ensure that our linens are washed in an environmentally friendly manner. To further reduce plastic waste, we provide glass water bottles that guests can refill throughout their stay.

Energy Conservation

To minimize the energy consumption, we regulate the temperature of our air conditioning systems to maintain a comfortable environment while conserving energy. While guests have the flexibility to adjust the temperature to their preference, we encourage them to avoid extreme settings. Additionally, we encourage guests to turn off the lights when leaving their rooms. Moreover, to support our sustainable practices, we use energy-efficient LED lighting in our establishment.

Reducing Carbon Emissions

We are located in the heart of Lisbon and, because of this, we advise our guests to consider visiting the city without a car. Given the city's challenges with parking, by doing this, our clients don’t need to worry and they have the opportunity to explore the city by foot, cycling or using public transportation which is more enjoyable and authentic. Additionally, not using a car is a way to reduce carbon emissions, contributing to a greener environment for all.

Minimizing Environmental Footprint

To reduce paper waste, we have transitioned to digital alternatives for guest registration and communication. Guests have access to all necessary information through our Guest Portal app, eliminating the need for printed materials. By embracing technology, we are able to streamline processes while minimizing our environmental footprint.
