Penta Hotels has taken a significant step on its sustainability journey, with all of its German properties now proudly holding Green Key certification as of December 2024.
The brand’s properties in Brussels, Liège, and Leuven had earned Green Key certification in recent years, and now all hotels in Germany have followed suit, marking a major milestone in Penta Hotels’ ongoing efforts to achieve certifications for all its properties.
"We are delighted that all German Penta Hotels now bear the Green Key certification. This demonstrates that our sustainability actions and measures are bearing fruit and that we’re on the right track." said Kim Jasmin Junge, Property Coordinator at Penta Hotels, and leader for sustainability issues within the company.
"We’re working towards obtaining Green Key certificates for all our hotels, with the process already underway at the properties in Reading and Prague, as well as working on other further measures to promote sustainability," she added.
Since 2023, Penta Hotels has partnered with Too Good To Go to reduce food waste. Additionally, through a collaboration with Recup, the hotel chain offers sustainable, reusable bowls and cups for take-out orders. All Penta hotels have plastic-free breakfasts as standard, and have removed all disposable items from bathrooms, so that water, electricity, and waste consumption are carefully monitored.
In 2023, Penta Hotels launched a successful tree-planting partnership contributing to the planting of 2,200 trees in that year alone. In other efforts, the company also captured attention with its Earth Day 2024 campaign, where plastic waste was displayed as a pseudo-art installation in the hotel lobbies to raise awareness about the global plastic waste crisis amongst its guests.
