Sustainability & mission statement

In connection with our mission statement, sustainability has a high priority in today's world and in our company. Far beyond the topic of "environmental protection", we are committed to nature, people and animals in our region, but also outside Heiligenhafen - Germany - Europe: all over the world.

Sustainability in the hotel

Especially in a hotel, there is a lot of potential to make processes more sustainable and thus actively contribute to a better future. As a company anchored in the region, we feel particularly committed to our home. That is why we have started to establish certain things in our hotel that make a difference overall and with which we also want to make our contribution to a more sustainable future.

If you want to change something, start with yourself. No sooner said than done.

There are many small steps that we are taking in the area of sustainability. Individually, these steps may sound unimportant, but it is the sum total that counts. We haven't reached the end of the road yet, with more measures being added almost every week. The majority of our team walk or cycle to work, we check our energy consumption every year and consider anew each year what we can optimize and where we can make further savings.

At our hotel, guests have the option of waiving the intermediate cleaning of their room. If they use this option, we will plant a tree in cooperation with Plant-for-the-Planet as a thank you.

Our reception works paperless wherever possible to avoid further waste and protect the environment. If something does have to be printed, it is done in a climate-neutral way. With climate-neutral printing, we offset the emissions that are unavoidable by purchasing emission certificates.

Buying locally is great - but growing your own is even better. In keeping with this motto, we cultivate and nurture our hotel's own herb garden, which is used by the kitchen and the hotel bar. As a major employer in the region, we naturally also support regional events and are therefore also committed to sustainability in our immediate surroundings.

Nevertheless, we like to think outside the box, which is why we participated in a school in Africa in 2021. This was an enriching experience for us, so we will certainly be getting more involved in this area in the future.

Our mission statement

Living humanity, acting responsibly
The way we treat our employees is the way they treat our guests. The corporate culture quickly reveals which way the wind is blowing at management level. It's no different in a hotel. When employees experience appreciation and self-efficacy in their workplace, are able to grow and develop - then they pass this feeling on to the guests and treat them with the same respect that they are accustomed to.

Constantly improving
Our aim is to make our guests feel completely at ease. We achieve this through attentive service to our guests and a stay that our guests will remember for a long time to come. When it comes to cuisine, quality and enjoyment are particularly important to us.

Recognizing the signs of the times
The world is changing, our guests are changing, we are changing. What was the status quo a decade or even a few years ago may already be outdated today. Our ambition is to remain modern and always close to the needs of our guests. This is how we ensure that we always provide our guests with unforgettable experiences.

Respect at all levels
How we do something is just as important as what we do. Our actions are embedded in a clear ethical and moral framework. This applies to our daily business operations, our dealings with employees and suppliers, our charitable commitment and, in general, our awareness of our social responsibility.

Actively shaping the world of tomorrow
We are in the fortunate position of being able to give something back. We are actively committed to making tomorrow's world a little better - with donations and support for a wide variety of projects.
