Vaujany and its sustainable commitments

Our sustainable commitments:

Because tomorrow’s world can no longer ignore the principles of sustainable development, all the staff of the Tourist Office are committed to implementing and respecting actions in favour of the environment (communication, purchasing, sorting, events, publications, travel, etc.). These eco-actions are listed in a charter, displayed in our premises.

Concerned about the environment, the commune of Vaujany also wanted to have its efforts recognised and obtained the “Station Verte” label on 7 October 2014. A Green Resort is a welcoming territory in the heart of the terroir, recognised at national level as an organised resort, offering meaningful holidays, in favour of natural, authentic, human and environmentally friendly tourism.

Thus, we encourage everyone (residents, socio-professionals, tourists) to make their contribution to the good life in Vaujany:
