Embodying environmental responsibility, Landhotel Grimmeblick is a green sanctuary backed by two notable certifications - TourCert and Blaue Umwelt Engel. This commitment to sustainability is evident in every aspect of the hotel’s operations, right from its structural features to the daily practices it adopts. The hotel stands firm on its written environmental policy, using triple-glazed windows for efficient insulation and LED lighting throughout the premises to minimise energy consumption. Solar power is harnessed to meet the property’s energy needs, and an automatic system powers down lights and electrical appliances when guests are not in the room, further conserving energy. With a responsible approach to water usage, rainwater is collected for various purposes and toilets flush with up to 6 litres per flush, reducing water waste.
In its pursuit to achieve a smaller carbon footprint, Landhotel Grimmeblick measures its CO2 emissions with a recognised tool, and the residual CO2 load is neutralized through reforestation projects. An environmental manager ensures all policies are adhered to, and employees are well-trained to follow these sustainable measures. The commitment to waste management is laudable, with waste being separated into at least three categories, organic waste composted, and the avoidance of disposable single-use items. The hotel offers an electric car charging station, promoting the use of green transportation. In addition, the dining experience is thoughtfully curated with vegetarian alternatives on the menu, resonating with the eco-conscious spirit of the hotel. Regular energy audits ensure the continued efficiency of these environmentally-friendly practices.
