Sustainability in FREIgeist Göttingen Innenstadt
Protecting our planet is very important to us. That's why we use 100% green electricity and most of our products on the breakfast buffet are organic.

Being sustainable means that all emissions from our products and our business have been recorded and offset via recognized climate protection projects. Working with ClimatePartner , we calculated all CO2 emissions – from heating our hotel rooms, preparing our dishes in the restaurant, electricity consumption to the kilometers driven by our staff and suppliers to the hotel. We offset all unavoidable emissions through internationally recognized climate protection projects and began supporting clean wind energy in Brazil this year.
As a sustainable hotel, we take responsibility - this applies not only to the climate, the resource consumption of our hotel but also to the people who stay with us, work and live in the region. Especially a fair treatment of our team and every single employee is very important to us - and not only because of that we are part of the Fair JobHotels e.V..
Our FREIgeist Hotels offer ideal conditions for sustainable conferences. Thanks to the good connection to public transport and proximity to train stations, you can travel conveniently and environmentally friendly by train. On-site, you will sleep and conference in eco-friendly hotels that minimize their ecological footprint through the use of 100% green electricity, modern lighting concepts, and gastronomy that uses almost exclusively local products. Our conference rooms are equipped with the latest technology to ensure energy-efficient events. Together, we will make your conference sustainable and responsible.
When cleaning, we also rely on the use of microcleaner devices, which can clean and disinfect almost anything you can imagine with 180 degree hot steam. This saves our housekeeping staff from using different cleaners and dealing with chemical agents.
Our hotels have been awarded the Seal of Assured Sustainability since July 2022. The Institute for Sustainability & Economics awards this internationally recognized seal to companies that operate in an energy-, cost- and material-efficient manner, maintain a good working atmosphere within the team, and focus on the use of regional and renewable or recyclable raw materials.
The German Sustainability Code is a cross-industry standard for transparent reporting of corporate sustainability performance. It contains twenty criteria and selected quantifiable performance indicators according to international reporting standards GRI or EFFAS.
We purchase organic products and support regional agriculture. To reflect this commitment, we have obtained organic certification, ensuring that you’ll find not only fresh organic eggs from our local partner Jörge Penk in Moringen at our diverse breakfast buffet, but also a variety of other organic foods such as milk, quark, yogurt, and much more. These products come from trusted local partners, including Naturkost Elkershausen in Göttingen.
