Every year between 2010 and 2020 Ryad Mabrouka has obtained the "Green Key" label confirming its sustainable management. Unfortunately the Green Key label is no longer available in Morocco since the Covid crisis but we keep on managing the riad in a sustainable manner.
What we do :
-Monthly record of water and electricity consumption in order to continuously improve energetic performance and control possible water leaks.
-Put documents and small boards in each room and bathroom to encourage energy saving (example : towels change on request).
-Bathrooms are equipped with water saving devices (tap aerators, eco-flush...).
-We sort waste for recycling (wood, metal, glass, plastic bottles...).
-We compost our garden waste, we do not use any chemical pesticide (replaced by black soap and water).
-We grow plants which require less water.
-We use a wood stove in the "salon marocain" in which we burn only our own wood from the garden..
-We encourage slow travel in Fez (where to rent a bike, where to go hiking...).
-We have equiped the riad with low consumption bulbs and led lights.
-Strict control of the natural air cooling system from the garden to the rooftop to reduce the use of airconditionning during the hot season.
-Education of our staff to sustainable practices.
-We provide information on local biodiversity (flora, birdwatching).
-Our cook uses local and mostly seasonal products (no imported food).
-We collect rain water on the terrace.
-We collect water produced by some air conditioners for ironning !!
-We use local craftmen.
