Sustainability in FREIgeist Göttingen Nordstadt

Since the first full year of operation of our newest hotel, all FREIgeist Hotels in Germany have been operating sustainably. In recent years, together with ClimatePartner, we have calculated our total CO₂ footprint, reduced emissions, and offset any unavoidable ones through climate protection projects. Moving forward, we plan to increasingly invest these funds in our own sustainability initiatives within the hotel group – for example, in expanding photovoltaic systems. This way, we create genuine impact directly on site – transparent, tangible, and always with the clear goal of consistently avoiding and reducing CO₂ emissions.

Our sustainability report

FREIgeist sustainability

From the 100% recycled key card that you receive at the beginning of your stay, to the handmade door signs from the Harz Weser workshops, to the reusable to-go cup when you leave: we are always coming up with solutions for innovative, sustainable products. When it comes to the food, we try to source as much as possible from the surrounding region, avoiding long transport routes and emissions. We have been working with regional partners for several years, who provide things like the eggs for our breakfast buffet, for example.

Ensured sustainability

Linking ecology, economy & social responsibility.
Complementary to climate neutrality, 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.

Sustainable Conferences

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.

Clean green

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.
