• % of food purchases produced in the region (and / or 100km radius)

To do this, special attention was paid to:

• Establish partnerships with local producers (creation of a "local" village market with 20ne producers, artisans and local artists as evidenced by the photo)
• Define, with catering partners, an objective of integrating local and / or labeled products (organic farming, fair trade, etc.)
• Minimize the use of chemical inputs in on-site production (zero phyto objective)
• Seeking catering partners committed to promoting sustainable, healthy and quality food
• Define with partners a strategy for reducing food waste
• Create a production farm with products stamped Villages Nature
• Offer meetings with local producers (eg local market)
• Develop educational activities (processing workshop, organic farming, etc.)

Mobility strategy

One of the ten axes of the Sustainable Action Plan of the project is to "design a site without a car, and reduce the environmental impact of transport related to the movement of visitors and stakeholders on the site". To do this, the performance indicators are monitored each year:

• Share of use of public transport by visitors for arrivals and departures (%)
• Average emissions of greenhouse gases related to visitor transportation (arrival and departure)
• Share of alternative modes of transport to the individual car by employees (%)
• Carbon balance of employee trips and transport related to site maintenance

Special attention is paid to:

• Promote access by public transport by providing a shuttle for staff and visitors from the RER station to the site
• "0 trips in individual vehicles during the stay on the site": adapted mass plan and development of accessible and comfortable alternative modes of transport for customers and employees (bicycles, trails, electric golfettes)
• Propose mobility solutions with low environmental impact for local excursions (eg soft link networks in the north and south, provision of individual electric vehicles ...)
• Define a carbon offsetting policy aimed at raising awareness and contributing to actions aimed at having a positive impact on the climate

Water management

One of the ten axes of the Sustainable Action Plan of the project is to "treat on site and recycle part of the waters of the Aqualagon, maintain the hydrographic balance of the site and the quality of the watercourses downstream, as well as choose equipment and systems for reducing water consumption ". To do this, the performance indicators are monitored each year:

• Drinking water consumption of accommodation (consumption target below the national ADEME average of -20%)
• Drinking water consumption of Aqualagon (High Performance level of HQE certification)
• Consumption of non-potable water for watering (100%)
• Maintenance of groundwater level and groundwater quality (Limestone of Brie and Champigny)
• Maintain the "baseline" level of flow and quality of project receiving streams
• Quality of the ecosystems of the internal basins

To do this, special attention was paid to:

• Select hydro-economic equipment (low flow tap, double flush toilet, etc.)
• Provide tools for measuring and monitoring water consumption (meters and BMS) and a system for managing leaks throughout the network
• Limit the water consumption of the Aqualagon (high performance water treatment system in particular)
• Treat part of the waters of the Aqualagon via the Extraordinary Gardens (filter gardens)
• Do not fill ponds with groundwater or drinking water
• Limit watering needs to 11 ha of landscape (<10% of developed areas) and ensure only non-drinking water
• Select landscaping species to limit water consumption

Waste management

One of the ten axes of the Sustainable Action Plan of the project is "Maximize the sorting and recovery of waste and offer customers a fun and incentive experience to raise awareness of waste management". To do this, the performance indicators are monitored each year:
