Hospitality for the Common Good.
At the Artus, we are convinced that we all have the resources, imagination, and abilities to do our part in a world undergoing rapid change.
Our goal: to move a little closer every day toward a model that is responsible and respectful of our planet. We imagine, test, and gradually implement new solutions at our hotel to minimize our environmental impact, but also to provide you with the tools to take action and make a difference on your own scale during your stay with us. “Because transformation starts with each of us, but it’s when we come together that the magic happens!”
Thanks to our daily efforts and all the initiatives we have undertaken, we are pleased to have renewed our Clef Verte certification in 2026.
The Green Key certification criteria require respect for nature and people, particularly through the control of water and energy consumption, environmentally responsible waste management, recreational activities that do not harm the environment, and the promotion of the region’s stakeholders and natural assets.
4,691 kg of our waste
(paper, plastic, organic waste) were collected and recycled by our partner organization, Cèdre, in 2025 on behalf of all our hotels and the Biografy Group.
€5,092 raised in 2025
Thanks to donations from our customers, supplemented by a contribution from the Hôtel Artus, to benefit the organization Les ailes déployées, an association that provides support, training, and guidance to people with disabilities.

Gender Equality Index
99/100
This is the score obtained this year by the UES for the five hotels of the Biografy Group in its gender equality index, in compliance with Decree No. 2019-15 of January 8, 2019, which makes it possible to measure existing pay gaps in order to better address them and thereby achieve true gender equality in the workplace. The index has been designed as a practical tool to promote gender equality within companies. It consists of four indicators:
- Gender Pay Gap – Score: 39/40
- Difference in the number of recipients of individual raises between women and men – score obtained: 35/35
- Percentage of women who received an individual pay increase upon returning from maternity leave – (cannot be calculated due to the absence of returns from maternity leave during the reference period)
- Pay equity among the ten highest salaries – score: 10/10
Methodological Details:
The hotels used the year 2024 as their reference period, specifically from January 1, 2024, to December 31, 2024. The workforce of the five hotels was broken down into the following socio-professional categories: employees, middle managers, and executives. Individual characteristics (age, job category) are assessed on the last day of the reference period or on the last day the employee was present at each company. In accordance with the decree, the following are not taken into account in the calculation of the index:
- Apprentices and vocational training contracts;
- Employees provided by an outside company, including temporary workers, if applicable;
- Employees whose contracts are suspended for more than 6 months during the reference period.
