Every year, nearly 120,000 visitors pass through the door and discover with delight, La Cité du Chocolat Valrhona in Tain-l’Hermitage. The first “Chocolate in France” site, the establishment has just received the national Sustainable Entertainment label.
Preservation of local heritage and biodiversity
This label initiated by the National Union of Leisure and Cultural Spaces invites distinguished sites to engage in a process of continuous improvement in terms of corporate social responsibility.
Concretely, the actors who have obtained the label develop an awareness and training policy for their employees. They are committed on a daily basis to the preservation of local heritage and biodiversity.
The sites’ purchasing policies take into account the origin, materials and environmental impact of the products while promoting short circuits and local producers. The environmental impact is taken into account for each new project in order to promote eco-design.
In terms of waste management, the labeled sites set themselves objectives for minimizing packaging, reusing, sorting and recovering waste. The sites are committed to a policy of optimizing water and energy resources. La Cité du chocolat becomes the first site in Rhône-Alpes to be labeled in this way.
