6 WHAT IS OUR MAIN PROJECT? In concertation with the Municipality of Menton and the "Office National des Forêts", the Hotel s Green Committee headed by Elodie Robert, responsible for sustainable initiatives at the Metropole, worked on a highly symbolic project: giving olive tree seeds to children of the hotel s team members which they could plant on the site that had suffered from the fire : a fire broke out in Menton. The hotel initiated the project: «Mon Arbre à Moi». The purpose: replanting olive trees on the site : 114 olive trees were planted by Hotel s team members! 65 adults and 44 children were present! 6

7 BIODIVERSITY After the fire, without human help, the forest would have been made of one kind of tree only: the «Pin d Alep». Thanks to Hotel Metropole, this land is now populated with olive trees. The olive tree is a symbolic tree: which means longevity and hope, the olive tree is known to be eternal. A LONG TERM PROJECT Our General Manager, our Green Attitude responsible, Menton s Mayor and members of the «Office Nationale des Forêts». Every year, on the occasion of the «International Forest Day», are team members along with their children will go back on the spot to see the growth of their trees. In a few years, when the olive trees reach their mature age, it is planned to harvest olives to make Hotel Metropole Olive Oil! 7
