Glass Of Venice Sustainability Actions

Handmade Murano glass products

All Venetian Glass products sold in the online store are hand-made by skilled master glass-blowers in a traditional factory on Murano Island in Venice, Italy. Every piece is crafted one-at-a-time using traditional glass-making techniques and every product is special and unique.

Supported glass conservation talk

Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT) and the Musei Civici di Venezia (MUVE) organized a public talk focused on sustainable practices in glass conservation. The talk provided a decision-making model that utilizes greener thinking and helps conservators make informed decisions about conservation practices that minimize environmental impact while still maintaining the standards of conservation.

Aman Venice water conservation

Aman Venice gives guests opportunities to opt out of having towels and sheets unnecessarily changed, so as to have a lighter environmental touch. Whenever turnover is declined by guests, Aman Venice donates to a local charity. The laundry service comes by boat every two days, with linens delivered in cloth bags, never paper or plastic.

LED lighting transition

Aman Venice is one of the few historic palazzos in Venice to be entirely illuminated by LED lighting, even down to its chandeliers. Motion sensors and an intelligent lighting system help optimise efficiency, and the property says its journey to a more sustainable way of being has included a full transition to this lighting.

Local and social supply chain

Aman Venice works with social cooperative and family-run enterprises. Ingredients served are organic, seasonal and come from suppliers certified in a way that supports a zero-kilometre and high-animal-welfare code of ethics. Pasticceria Giotto, a social-enterprise bakery in a prison, is named as one supplier.

No-waste cooking and local menus

Seasonal ingredients are showcased throughout the dining experiences, including the "Cook the Lagoon" private dinners at the Palazzo Kitchen Table. The menu uses fresh produce and seafood from the nearby market, and the property says it honours climate-friendly vegan and vegetarian choices, even with tasting menus.
