Our mission

Together, let's imagine happy and responsible holidays

At maeva, we are a real link between thousands of vacationers and hosts . We therefore have a prime position to mobilize with us and participate in accelerating the ecological and social transition of the vacation rental sector .
💪 And we intend to do our part to meet the challenge of responsible tourism compatible with planetary limits . On this page, you will find an overview of what we are doing to help reduce the footprint of holidays.

Solidarity The silence of the Righteous

In 2026 the maeva teams decided to support the association PHARE Enfants-Parents. It is an association of general interest engaged for more than 30 years in the prevention of ill-being and suicide among young people. Based on the values of solidarity, education and respect, it accompanies children, adolescents, young adults and their families.
Through listening, support, information and accompaniment, the association promotes family dialogue and works to ensure that each young person finds answers to his or her suffering, so that suicide is never a solution. Site: www.phare.org

Low carbon mobility

Did you know: 68% of the carbon impact of holidays in France is linked to travel ! To reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, there's no secret... we have to change our habits . Because it's easier said than done, at maeva, we're working to make low-carbon holidays easier. To do this, with us, you can: identify rentals close to an SNCF train station , those where you can charge an electric car , those near your home ... and even book your train, bus or carpool journey . To find out more about your impact and find solutions, try our carbon calculator for rental holidays with Co2cotte, our specialist in eco-responsible and joyful holidays.

Eco-friendly and supportive accommodation; Happy

The Happy mobile home is the new generation of eco-responsible accommodation. The result of a collaboration between the manufacturer Louisiane (Sunshine-Habitat) and the maeva platform , the Happy mobile home represents a significant step forward in terms of outdoor accommodation. Designed with an eco-responsible approach, this model combines environmental performance and holidaymaker comfort . It is made from sustainable and environmentally friendly materials.

Renovations

Nearly 4,000 owners of second homes entrust the management of their family home, their mountain apartment, etc. to our network of maeva Home agencies. We support them in renting out their property to holidaymakers, but also during their renovation work when necessary. This allows you to rent out your property better but also to improve its environmental impact, in particular thanks to: the heating method, the reduction in water consumption with the installation of aerators on the taps, etc. We work with local craftsmen and our renovation specialist partner Face /B .

Reusable pizza boxes

At Campings maeva, we are actively working to reduce our waste volume . The lifespan of a pizza box between the campsite restaurant/snack bar and the mobile home is so short (about 2 min) for such a volume of waste that it seemed obvious to us to change that! In partnership with B-watbox, we have designed a washable and reusable pizza box.
We are testing this innovation in our campsites, come and discover it yourself and give us your opinion!

Together, reinvent yourself!

Aware that to design a company compatible with planetary limits , there is no ready-made recipe. Also aware that we must take the time to understand what is at stake with a systemic approach , at maeva, we have chosen to join the Convention of Companies for the Climate .
A unique system that commits business leaders and their management committee for 12 months to train, understand, and work, challenged by their peers to write an ambitious roadmap to design new business models that respect living things ! We know that this is not an easy exercise and that it will take time, but we are on the way!

Solidarity I leave, you leave, he leaves

In France, 9 million people and 3 million children live below the poverty line (set at less than 964 euros/month). One in four children (25%) never goes on vacation. At maeva, we have chosen to support the I'm leaving, You're leaving, He's leaving fund which has been mobilizing since 2015 to allow these families and children to go for a few days to discover the sea, the mountains... Why is it important? Because vacations are precious moments to reconnect the family unit far from stress and the daily rhythm, to discover and experience nature, otherness... Essential things to grow well and participate in reducing the social divide! Since 2016, maeva has been offering stays and asking her vacationers to make a donation to which she joins for each reservation. This summer, nearly 50 families will be leaving with us!

Nicolas Beaurain, our Managing Director, answered questions from journalist Cyrielle Hariel on BFM Business.

In this interview, he returns in particular to the qualification of the proposed accommodation catalog having a label, the promotion of rentals "near SNCF train stations" , the Campings maeva Respire range , the subject of " cold beds" and energy renovation.
