The issue is no longer marginal. Sustainability has become a key operational imperative for hoteliers, far beyond mere rhetoric. In this context, ECO-ONE marks a turning point. With the entry of the European impact fund 3XP Global into its capital and the creation of its French subsidiary, the company is clearly scaling up its operations.
This operation is not just about financing. It is a structuring signal for the entire hotel ecosystem, at a time when regulatory pressure and customer expectations are accelerating.
Summary
An acceleration confirmed on the French market
On April 9, 2026, ECO-ONE officially announced the creation of its French entity and the entry of 3XP Global into its capital, with an investment of €765,000. This operation aims to support the company's development, particularly in France, identified as a strategic market.
This announcement confirms the growing strength of a player already active in Europe. ECO-ONE is currently present in France, Spain, and Portugal, with a base of over 2,300 supported stakeholders in the hotel sector.
For more than three years, the company has gradually structured its presence in France, notably through events dedicated to sustainability and collaborations with renowned establishments such as the Ritz Paris, the Fairmont Monte Carlo, the Negresco in Nice or the Marty Hotel by Hilton in Bordeaux.
This gradual deployment gives the company operational credibility today, at a time when it is accelerating.
An integrated model that addresses the challenges on the ground
What distinguishes ECO-ONE is its positioning. The company does not limit itself to consulting, but structures a complete offering, directly activated by hoteliers.
Its model is based on several complementary levers.
A responsible purchasing center allows establishments to select products that meet specific environmental criteria, particularly in terms of European manufacturing, plastic reduction and certifications.
In parallel, a second-hand platform dedicated to the hotel industry facilitates the resale and acquisition of furniture, in line with a circular economy approach. This is a key point in a sector where renovations generate significant volumes of waste.
ECO-ONE also offers sustainability training programs, tailored to the different professions in the hotel industry, in order to embed CSR strategies in daily operations.
The company is also developing awareness initiatives, such as “The room that cleans the sea”, which directly involve customers in environmental efforts.
Finally, energy and water efficiency solutions complete the offering, with diagnostics and support aimed at optimizing consumption and anticipating regulatory requirements.
This comprehensive approach makes it possible to address the entire value chain, from strategy to operations.
A positioning in line with the new constraints of the sector
The context is favorable to this type of model. Hoteliers are facing a double pressure: regulatory on one side, commercial on the other.
From a regulatory perspective, obligations related to the energy and environmental transition are becoming more stringent. From a customer perspective, sustainability expectations are becoming an increasingly decisive factor in their choice.
In this context, ad hoc solutions are showing their limitations. Industry players are now looking for concrete tools capable of producing measurable results.
It is precisely in this area that ECO-ONE positions itself.
A lever for transformation for hoteliers
In practical terms, the advantage of the model lies in its ability to be activated quickly.
An establishment can, via ECO-ONE, structure its purchasing policy, optimize its consumption, train its teams and promote its commitments to its customers.
This approach makes it possible to link economic performance and environmental transition, two dimensions long perceived as opposed.
For both independent hoteliers and groups, this represents a significant time saving in the implementation of CSR initiatives.
A strategic French market
The decision to accelerate in France is not insignificant. The French market combines several key characteristics: a dense hotel stock, demanding regulations, and a growing maturity on sustainability issues.
It therefore provides a particularly favorable environment for the deployment of structured solutions.
For ECO-ONE, the objective is clear: to consolidate its presence, strengthen its teams and support a growing number of establishments in the coming years.
A model that is expected to become more structured
The entry of 3XP Global supports this trajectory. It should allow the company to strengthen its capabilities, particularly in technological and operational aspects.
The challenge now is to scale up, by industrializing the proposed solutions and broadening their adoption.
In a sector where sustainable transformation remains uneven, this type of player could play a structuring role in the years to come.
