Batobus Paris: Discovering the River Seine Responsibly

Since 2019, Batobus Paris has been converting its fleet of river tour boats to hybrid-electric propulsion technology, which reduces environmental impacts and ensures quieter navigation. Hybrid boats will also be able to switch to 100% electric power on sections of the route through the historic heart of Paris.

Batobus Paris is committed to preserving biodiversity with a range of sustainability activities. The company actively pursues waste reduction by implementing a comprehensive recycling program on all its boats and within its facilities. The company encourages passengers to participate in responsible waste management by providing clearly labeled recycling bins.

Batobus Paris takes pride in educating its passengers about the importance of sustainable tourism. Through informative materials and the Biodiversity Day, the company promotes environmental awareness and encourages visitors to adopt eco-friendly practices during their stay in Paris. The company’s innovative Enquêtes à Bord program engages children with an “investigation kit’ that challenges them to solve puzzles focused on the fauna and flora, culture and history of Paris on the River Seine.

As part of its social commitment Batobus Paris works with French public employment service Pole Emploi recruiting crew members via the Simulation Recruitment Method (SRM). This method goes beyond the usual recruitment criteria of experience and qualifications and focuses on the skills needed for the job.
