SUSTAINABILITY

Sustainable rest and relaxation also requires a sustainable environment: we have set ourselves the goal of evaluating and optimizing processes, products and more, and always acting in the interests of sustainability. This applies to energy efficiency and regional delivery, but also how we treat guests and employees, the use of materials and the assumption of social responsibility.

Our sustainability report

ACT SUSTAINABLE

Together with ClimatePartner, we have recorded all emissions from our products and our operations – from heating our hotel rooms and preparing dishes in our restaurants to electricity consumption and the kilometers our team members travel to the hotel. Until now, we have offset unavoidable emissions through internationally recognized climate protection projects, most recently by supporting clean wind energy in Brazil. Moving forward, we will increasingly invest these funds in our own sustainability projects within the hotel group, such as expanding photovoltaic systems. This way, we create genuine impact on site – transparent, tangible, and always with the clear goal of avoiding and reducing CO₂ emissions in the long term.

VERIFIED SUSTAINABILITY

Since July 2022 alll of our hotels were awarded the Seal of Verified Sustainability. The Institute for Sustainability & Economy awards this internationally recognized seal to companies that work efficiently in terms of energy, costs and materials, maintain a good working atmosphere for the team, and focus on the use of regional and renewable or recyclable raw materials.

FAIR JOBHOTELS

We are all about those people who aren’t just looking for a job, but for space that offers new perspectives, new ideas, new people, new stories, new experiences, and new development opportunities. We are for everyone who is looking for a home among like-minded people.

We want everyone to feel comfortable with us as they are and offer them the freedom they need to develop. And that’s not the only reason why all of our hotels are members of Fair JobHotels – we also agree with their philosophy.

 

JOBS IM BURGHOTEL

REGIONAL CUISINE

Local is better! Healthy for you and good for the environment at the same time. In the Novalis kitchen, we prefer to use food that we buy regionally and seasonally wherever possible, and we know all of our suppliers by name. From game from our own woods in Hardenberg, to dairy products from Naturkost Elkershausen, to vegetables from Penk, the organic farmer around the corner.
