SUSTAINABLE LUXURY

Environmental, Social and Governance

 

Sustainable tourism and corporate social responsibility are a key part of our company identity. We not only take all necessary steps to protect and support our local natural and historic environments, but prioritise support of our local community too: embracing culture and the arts; providing opportunities to enhance the educational level of the next generation; and contributing to the welfare of animals through our registered charity.

Enavsma Foundation

Inspired by the passion of our late founder, Alecos Michaelides, for the education of the new generation, we collaborate with Round Table 7 Paphos to provide postgraduate level scholarships to students facing financial hardship. To date, ten scholarships, with a total value of €132,000, have been awarded to local students, supporting their dreams in Cypriot universities and beyond.

Simba Animal Aid

Simba Animal Aid

Our hotels are dog-friendly and offer an array of comforts to guests’ four-legged friends. Continuing this passion, we established «SIMBA Animal Aid Cyprus » in 2019: a non-profit organisation dedicated to the rescue of neglected or abandoned local animals. The Company—and its many dedicated staff— cover all financial, operational and maintenance needs of SIMBA’s Nicosia dog shelter, providing care and finding forever homes for around 400 strays a year.

Water Management

At Amyth of Nicosia, our initiatives include employee education on water management, dual flush toilets, timers for watering plants, and encouraging guests to reuse towels, reducing water, energy and chemical usage. Linen is changed every three days unless otherwise requested, conserving resources. Kitchen and bar staff also operate taps with foot pedals to prevent unnecessary water consumption.

Energy Management

Energy Management

Our energy-saving measures include centrally controlled public area lights with energy-efficient sensors. We have upgraded to energy-efficient chillers, air conditioning units, and LED light fixtures. Solar panels on the roof provide our hot water. Guest room keys activate electricity access, and lights automatically turn off 10 minutes after departure. Regular maintenance ensures optimal energy efficiency.

Cultural Events for Cypriot Artists

Inspired by events organised as part of «Cultural Capital Paphos 2017», we began sponsoring and hosting local cultural events, subsequently offering a support platform to local artists. Since 2017, more than 40 different events have given dozens of local artists—in the fields of photography, painting, sculpture, ceramics, writing and more—the opportunity to present their work to the public.

Supporting Cypriot Producers and Traditions

We actively source locally produced goods and services, participating in the “Cyprus Breakfast” initiative and embracing regional cuisine in our menus. We source our citrus fruit from the Polis area, our meats from Paphos farms and charcuteries. We always favour seasonal, local produce: potatoes from Larnaca’s red soil; organic raw honey and syrups from Limassol; a daily fresh Mediterranean catch from local fishermen plus local Cypriot eggs, herbs, legumes, olive oil, vinegars, capers, vine leaves… the list goes on.

Governance

At Thanos Hotels we believe that maintaining high ethical standards is a very important aspect, as strong ethics and good business go hand in hand. Therefore, we have created an environment where our people should feel comfortable speaking up when they suspect potential violations of laws and policies. Additionally, we urge our employees to demonstrate high standards of integrity and lead by example.

Strengthening Community Ties

We prioritise the employment of local talent and encourage our employees to engage in volunteer work. Additionally, we offer hands-on work experience to students and donate to organisations like the Sophia Foundation to support vulnerable individuals in the community.
