Cor de Carxofa, a healthy restaurant committed to sustainable tourism
Cor de Carxofa is one of the first restaurants in the Valencian community to be certified with the S for Sustainable Tourism by the ICTE (Institute for Spanish Tourism Quality), since 2023.
Committed to the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) Since its inception in 2018, Cor de Carxofa has been a benchmark in terms of sustainability, from the sustainable terrace built entirely of wood from sustainable forests and reused pallets, with 100% solar energy powered by its own panels; the signature cuisine, where local and organically grown products are the protagonists, the restaurant's energy efficiency, respectful water consumption and the non-use of chemicals in cleaning...
There are many points that we at Cor de Carxofa carry out on a daily basis to make the world a better and more sustainable place.
ICTE asked us to focus on 4 SDGs when drafting our sustainability report; in this case we have worked in depth on the SDGs of Health and well-being (3), Quality education (4), Decent work and economic growth (8) and Responsible production and consumption (12), but at Cor de Carxofa we work on many more SDGs in our day to day; sustainability is part of our DNA.
