SUSTAINABILITY - The topic of sustainability has been a priority at Hotel Hafen Hamburg for many years. We are aware of global development and want to make a contribution to the future as well as draw attention to the fact that even the smallest changes can have a big impact. We develop ideas, implement projects and are not afraid to invest with the future in mind. For example, in 2017 we upgraded our windows to a modern standard so that we don't have to regulate the indoor temperature as much.
Read moreAt the beginning of 2022, a working group was set up at the Hotel Hafen Hamburg, consisting of employees from various departments relevant to the topic, which defined the topic of "sustainability" for our hotels with great commitment. A project plan was drawn up and goals were set.
We had to face unforeseeable challenges, discard ideas and face the reality that not every wish can be realised in such a historic building.
But even small measures can have a big impact on the economic, ecological and social future.
Small as well as large changes, projects that can be implemented quickly as well as those that lie in the distant future are on our agenda from now on and will be implemented step by step with great commitment.
As a company with over 300 employees, we have a responsibility towards nature, the economy and our fellow human beings, which we take seriously and are constantly improving.
