Sustainability

We attach great importance to the sustainable use of resources, the highest quality and regionality. We are aware of our social and ecological responsibility. We therefore pursue a strict ecological concept, which was awarded the GreenSign certificate at the end of October 2023. We also work closely with carefully selected partners to achieve the highest quality standards. In this way, we do something good for both our guests and our planet.

Our actions

  • Social and ecological responsibility is an important part of our corporate philosophy. Accordingly, the topic of sustainability is also anchored in our employees’ code of conduct.
  • As part of the Dorint Group, we operate according to Dorint’s sustainability concept, the Green Square Concept.
  • In order to minimise the consumption of disposable bottles, we use water dispensers and reusable bottles in the conference area, in the guest rooms and for our employees.
  • We also want to make our energy generation sustainable and therefore obtain electricity from our 12 kWp photovoltaic system.
  • A comprehensive lighting concept with motion detectors, for example, helps us to save electricity.
  • A total of 4 charging stations for electric cars support the switch to emission-free driving.
  • Our waste separation concept favours the sensible reprocessing of waste.
  • We actively participate in food sharing. This counteracts food waste and provides a wide variety of people with food.
  • We cooperate with regional and equally committed partners to pull together on the issue of sustainability.
  • In order to minimise our paper consumption, we are working on the digitalisation of many processes: such as guest folders, menus, invoice processing, personnel files, application procedures and many more.

GreenSign certification

The GreenSign sustainability certification is awarded by the GreenSign Institut GmbH from Berlin. It is a certification catalogue recognised by the world-renowned Global Sustainable Tourism Council for determining the level of sustainability of a hotel. The certification is divided into levels of conformity, which indicate how many of the certification criteria a hotel fulfils. The degree of conformity ranges from a minimum conformity of 50% to a maximum of 100%.

Since the end of October 2023, the Dorint Thermenhotel – Gesundheitsresort Freiburg has been awarded a GreenSign certificate with a conformity of 72%.
