Responsible Business - Let's take responsibility
Green hotel in Hamburg strives to be a responsible business
Taking responsibility for the environment and local community has been an important part of the broader commitment of the Rezidor Hotel Group to sustainable development for many years. In 2001, this commitment was fortified and placed within the scope of a programme called Responsible Business (RB). Each hotel has a unique RB Action Plan covering areas such as community outreach, environmental improvement, employee well-being and health and safety. That commitment continues at this green hotel in Hamburg.
Earn the Green Key with a green stay
In June 2012, the Radisson Blu Hotel, Hamburg Airport was awarded with the Green Key.
Green Key is the label of FEE (Foundation for Environmental Education), which has been awarded to 1,800 tourist facilities in 30 countries. It is based on ecological, social and technical criteria that go beyond statutory environmental requirements of individual countries. Green Key honors not only the current state of environmental compatibility of a house, but also especially incentives for future improvements. Long-term planning and a steady development towards sustainable economies are at the forefront and be considered for an award.
The criteria include the following areas:
- Environmental management
- Employee motivation, guest information
- Water, energy
- Waste management
- Food
- Outdoor facilities
- Activities in nature
The hotels are engaged with both local charity groups and the Rezidor Hotel Group corporate international charity organisation, the World Childhood Foundation. The mission of the World Childhood Foundation is to defend the rights of the child and to promote better living conditions for vulnerable and exploited children at risk all over the world.
Following are some of the RB achievements of this green hotel in Hamburg:
