Organizing an all-around sustainable event is not exactly simple, because all processes from travel and accommodation to suppliers, consumables and energy efficiency have to be put under the "green" magnifying glass. Besides choosing one of our various sustainable certified conference hotels, we offer you a very simple way to book your future conferences "green".

Simply book every meeting sustainably: 1 meeting participant – 1 tree

BnTree

For only 3,- € per conference participant you plant a tree through our partner Click A Tree and thus not only fight climate change, but also create jobs in less privileged regions of our earth.

From now on, simply book sustainability with your contact at the MICE Desk in addition to your conference!

You will then receive the "Tree Award" certificate for your "green" conference booking.

Exemplary sustainably committed hotels

Fabian Wallner, Bad Staffelstein

The Best Western Plus Kurhotel an der Obermaintherme in Bad Staffelstein has firmly established sustainable measures in its operations and was awarded the Dehoga Environmental Check in Gold for this. Among other things, the conference hotel is a member of the association "United Against Waste e.V." and stands for the respectful handling of the resource food. Highly structured by the association membership so the sustainability with the reduction of food waste and the waste of valuable resources is further expanded. A completely new sustainable kitchen concept has been introduced at the spa hotel: From the field to the table, resource-conserving and Franconian-regional, that's how Alexander Hartung, the chef, cooks. The nutrition expert has developed his own sustainable concept "B(o)orn for Nature" and implements it in the creation of his dishes every day. According to this, all ingredients and products used meet at least three of the following five criteria: organic, ecological, economic, regional and sustainable – in short "boorn" – a plus for humans, animals and the environment.

Palatin Wiesloch

The Best Western Plus Palatin Kongresshotel in Wiesloch near Heidelberg has already been recognized as the best sustainable and best conference hotel in Baden-Württemberg. In the latest round of certification that CERTIFIED carries out on site every three years, the hotel scored "very good" as a Certified Green Hotel and even "excellent" as a Certified Conference Hotel. The aim is to permanently improve environmental friendliness throughout the hotel operations and the event center, as well as to promote social commitment. The theme of sustainability runs like a thread through the entire hotel, so all the sustainable activities that have taken place are described in the "Green Way" – a picture gallery. A photovoltaic system on the roof and three of the hotel's own combined heat and power plants supply the hotel with 100% climate-friendly electrical energy; the surplus is fed into the public grid. The hotel's human resources policy is particularly geared towards sustainability; this is reflected in the certifications as "Excellent Training Company" and "Fair Job Hotel".
