Sustainability
What would the ocean be without drops…?
It is essential to promote sustainable management, since everything we do has an impact on the planet.
Sustainability has become a philosophy for us and a way of life. In every process or daily decision, we tend to question ourselves if we can do it in a more sustainable way.
We know we can’t change the world on a large scale, but prioritizing respect and care for the environment is a responsible way of living towards Mother Earth.
We want Can Vital to be an example of sustainable management and hope it inspires you to move towards a more sustainable lifestyle. We want to raise awareness, both for ourselves and for everyone who passes through Can Vital, about the fact that we are all part of an ecosystem and that our actions matter, no matter how insignificant they may seem in the grand scheme of things.

How do we promote sustainable management?
Solar Panels
The solar panels were installed in June 2022. Thanks to them, we have reduced our electricity consumption by 32%.
This photovoltaic installation has been made possible thanks to the financial support of the European Union under the Next Generation Program.
Biomass
Since our inception, we have been using a biomass boiler to supplement the water supply, which is heated by burning briquettes.
The briquettes are made from the compounds of the shavings generated in the furniture manufacturing process of the company TENUEE.
LEDs & Automatic exterior lights
It is known that LED lights can help save up to 80-60% of energy consumption compared to other bulbs.
Additionally, motion sensors help avoid unnecessary energy expenditure, thus contributing to reducing consumption.
Forest Cleaning
Catalonia is a land of forests, with nearly 65% of its territory covered by woodlands. The resulting homogeneous and young forest mass creates conditions where fires can spread rapidly and intensely.
Our forest cleaning efforts have unveiled the ancient landscape of dry stone walls, small stone houses, and even some olive trees. Importantly, this work significantly reduces the risk of fire spreading.
Electric Car
Having an electric car and a charger provides significant environmental benefits by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution. It also offers economic advantages, such as lower operating and maintenance costs compared to traditional gasoline vehicles. Additionally, electric cars contribute to energy independence by utilizing locally produced electricity. Convenient home charging stations enhance the overall user experience, making electric vehicle ownership more practical and efficient.
Biosphere
Can Vital has achieved for several years the Biosphere Certification, recognizing our dedication to sustainable and eco-friendly practices. Biosphere means we adhere to the highest standards in environmental responsibility, ensuring a minimal impact on our beautiful surroundings. By staying with us, you support responsible tourism and enjoy a greener, healthier environment.
