It sounds counterproductive but it also totally make sense.
First, we are part of the world so we help the planet by consuming local and keeping an eye out for ways to reduce our consumption and consume smarter.
But also, we are part of a local community so we support local initiatives and small businesses who wish to make a difference in the world.
The Green Engage system developed by IHG gives all hotels the means to make an impact, by providing over 200 “Green Solutions” to reduce our consumption of energy, water and waste.
There are four levels of certification within IHG Green Engage System and Crowne Plaza Amsterdam-South is level 4, meaning we are a leading hotel in the environmental sustainability area, demonstrating innovative approaches to being sustainable.
We have adopted the “Your Stay, Your Choice” initiative allowing us to reduce water, energy, and chemical use across our property, contributing to our shared commitment to responsible travel.
Housekeeping is available on request for every guest staying 2+ nights. Guests place a door hanger outside their room by 6:00 AM to request same-day service, giving them complete control over their stay experience.
As a Green Key Gold certified property, we remain dedicated to sustainability without compromising on quality.
Since 2024, we have Green Key at the highest level; Gold. This is the quality mark in the hospitality industry that indicates whether a company operates sustainably.
We stay up to date on sustainable developments and are supported in the Green Key certification by Green Label Service, sustainability expert for hotels.
We are constantly initiating new ways to consume less, smarter, protect the planet and support local businesses.
From all our F&B outlets, we separate the food waste and we regularly bring it to a nearby farmer to feed their animals
All year long, our employees collect to support the animals in need.
In September, as part of an IHG initiative, we always do a lot more! This year we organised clean ups in the area, we motivated our staff to become blood donors, we donated stess balls to a children hospital – check it out on LinkedIn
We buy local as much as we can and we love to collaborate with local businesses. For instance, as part of our welcome amenities for our loyal guest, we have licorice from Amsterdam based Droomdrop, whom we met at the market in front of the hotel and fun Crowne Plaza socks, created in collaboration with Zuidas Personality. shop.
We are proud to partner with local businesses that share our values. One such collaboration is with , a small-scale wholesaler specializing in traditional coffee biscuits for catering, offices, and events.
Beyond their delicious products, Koekje-uit-Amsterdam is coresponsibility. They actively support the homeless community in Amsterdam, aligning with our mission to contribute positively to society.
