SUSTAINABILITY

Authenticity, responsibility, and a deeper connection with place

At memmo Unforgettable Hotels, sustainability isn’t a trend; it’s a commitment to preserving what truly matters: our planet, our people, and our place in the world. It’s about creating memorable experiences that don’t come at the expense of future generations. Every detail, from our design to our food philosophy, reflects a deeper respect for Lisbon, its environment, and its community.
We don’t just aim to reduce our impact. We strive to inspire more conscious travel.

SOCIAL RESPONSABILITY

At memmo, we believe true hospitality is about belonging — to a place, a story, a community.

Through our social responsibility projects, we celebrate local culture, support initiatives that matter, and create opportunities for our guests to leave a lasting, positive mark wherever they stay.

OUR PILLARS OF COMMITMENT

Carbon Footprint

We continuously measure and work to reduce our carbon footprint across all touchpoints — from operations to logistics — understanding that greenhouse gas emissions are one of the key contributors to climate change and ecosystem disruption.

Empowering Our Local Community

Our neighborhood is our identity. That’s why we invest in the preservation and celebration of Alfama’s traditions, crafts, and people. We actively support initiatives that promote cultural heritage and community wellbeing.

Plastic

Plastic isn’t the enemy, waste is. We are reducing single-use plastics across our operations and giving new life to what already exists, through reuse and responsible disposal.

Respecting Natural Resources

Water and energy are precious. We invest in efficient systems, reuse when possible, and educate our staff and guests on the importance of consuming mindfully in a world of finite resources.

Sustainable & Healthy Eating

What we eat shapes our world.
That’s why we prioritize local, seasonal, and responsibly sourced ingredients, not just for our guests, but also for our team.
Our partners and suppliers are chosen for their ethical and ecological standards, and together we promote wellness from the inside out.

Zero Waste Philosophy

We believe waste is simply a resource in the wrong place. Our goal is to promote circularity, minimizing waste by rethinking processes and turning “garbage” into value.
