SUSTAINABILITY

Our primary goal is to provide the best quality service by prioritizing guest satisfaction together with our employees. In accordance with this objective, we have adopted the following guidelines.
 

Legal Requirements

Barut Hotels complies with legal requirements in all its product and service processes as a principle.

Employee Safety and Investing in Human Beings

Our employees are our most valuable assets. Continuous improvements and use of the latest technologies are consistent across all our processes to minimize any risks that could jeopardize the health and safety of our employees and business partners, and to prevent occupational accidents. It is our essential rule to train our employees, to safeguard human rights and to practise non-discriminatory policies.  

Guest Satisfaction – Guest Safety – Guest Orientation

Our guests are always our priority: we consistently follow up on all guest complaints from all sources, resolve those complaints, and transform them into an opportunity to enhance our services and keep our guests informed.

Environmental Respect is a Norm

It is our priority to prevent environmental pollution by using our resources efficiently; to protect nature; to reduce the quantity of our wastes, and to recycle them, and reduce or eliminate any harm they may create.  .

Energy Saving

Barut Hotels undertakes as a duty to use our energy resources efficiently and to improve energy efficiency continuously.

Food Safety – Hygiene

It is our common principle to implement the food safety system throughout the food chain to provide products that comply with the quality food safety principles, to perform continuous improvements, and to give particular importance to hygiene conditions across all our hotels.

Our Investors and Business Partners

We work to provide better service than our competitors at the optimal cost, by determining the expectations and requirements of our investors, while offering our employees and our business partners a peaceful, safe working environment.

Support for Local Economy and Sustainable Procurement Practices

We are aware of our contribution to the local economy; thus, 95% of our suppliers and our raw materials are local. We purchase environment-friendly materials that use less energy and water, and generate less waste, for sustainable tourism. In light of these principles, our hotels, which compete in national and international markets, demonstrate the stability necessary for continuous leadership, resource provision and process enhancement.  

Child Abuse and Harassment

We believe that everyone should bear responsibility for the protection of children. We are aware that the well-being of children and child abuse prevention is crucial, and it is our primary duty to protect all children from physical and mental harassment. In light of these principles, our hotels, which compete in national and international markets, demonstrate the stability necessary for continuous leadership, resource provision and process enhancement. 

RESPONSIBILITY AND RESPECT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT

We respect the environment and the Earth

To gain respect in our world…

We aim to control

water, electricity, energy, chemical, solid waste quantities;

to minimize damage caused to the environment and natural resources

while making no concessions regarding the comfort of our guests.

The use of natural resources has been reduced with measures taken in line with sustainable tourism principles;

And practices have been updated

to minimize and,

where possible, eliminate any damage to soil, water and air.

 

BARUT HOTELS: BRAND REPRESENTATIVE OF RESPECT FOR TRADITION

The summer period relievo (all dimensions of a building), restitution (chronologically documenting the additions according to its original design) and restoration (repair) works began at the Side Nymphaeum (Monumental Fountain). The relievo, restoration, and restitution works in the Monumental Fountain are being carried out with the contribution of General Directorate of Cultural Heritage and Museums of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, Association of Turkish Travel Agencies (TÜRSAB) and Barut Hotels. The restoration and restitution works at the Nymphaeum, at Side’s entrance, will be ongoing for five years within the framework of the History Comes to Light project. The spectacular Roman architecture will be restored with these works, carried out in three sections. There are nine fountains in the Nymphaeum. These fountains are the symbol of the physical and spiritual cleansing of Side as the city entered its Roman period: visitors to the city could wash their feet at nine different fountains. When this work is completed, the Roman-era city entrance gate and the nine gorgeous fountains will be seen again.

Barut Hotels, which supports the restoration works through their completion, carries the mission of testifying, as a brand, to these monuments, respecting the past and cultural history to bring Side into the global agenda.
