EVOK COLLECTION SUSTAINABILITY
AMBITION FOR A BETTER SUSTAINABLE FUTURE
To support Evok Collection’s development, I wanted to implement an approach based on progress and Social and Environmental Responsibility (SER), reflected in our «Ambition for a better future» programme. Our aim is to contribute, action by action, to a more responsible tourism and hotel industry, and to take an active role in civil society in our economic and social environment.
