1. integrate sustainability as an overarching guiding principle

Setting a good example in environmental protection – this is a must for Hotel Hansa GmbH together with Kontor Kaffee. We know that our business also consumes raw materials, water and energy every day. We therefore attach great importance to the longevity of the resources and products we use and to minimizing harmful effects on the environment.

2. exemplify environmental protection

As environmental protection has been part of our corporate philosophy from the very beginning, it goes without saying that we make our contribution to environmental protection and sustainability. And to motivate and support our employees in thinking and acting ecologically.

3. sensitize employees

The environmental awareness and competence of our employees is promoted through regular training and information. We ensure that environmentally conscious thinking is implemented sustainably at all levels and that the environmental guidelines are integrated into operational practice in the best possible way. The workforce is encouraged to actively contribute ideas and suggestions to environmental protection and resource conservation.

4. organizing procurement and investments ecologically

When making new investments, we pay attention to environmental parameters and give preference to environmentally friendly options. Furthermore, whenever possible, we pay attention to local proximity to our cooperation partners.

5. conserve resources

Economical and efficient use of all resources is our top priority. By using the latest, resource-saving technology, we make everyday work processes environmentally friendly. We try to avoid negative effects on the environment (waste water, noise, waste, exhaust air) from the outset – or reduce them to a minimum. All consumption media (electricity, heat, water, operating resources) are continuously recorded. Savings targets are derived from the consumption data and specific improvement measures are implemented.

6. inform the public and customers

The Hotel Hansa GmbH would like to inform its employees, customers, the public and authorities about its environmental protection activities in a suitable form through a transparent internal and external information policy. In doing so, we strive for an objective, open and comprehensive dialog. Hotel Hansa GmbH actively participates in offers from the region to improve competitiveness (e.g. Ökoprofit) in order to utilize the advantages of a regional network of important players.

7. continuous improvement

We continuously improve our energy and environmental performance within the scope of our influence and thus make a long-term contribution to the preservation of the environment and nature. Compliance with (environmental) legal requirements is a matter of course for us.
