We are in - ÖKOPROFIT 2025!

The ÖKOPROFIT environmental program is a cooperation project between the regional economy, administration and experts (Private Public Partnership) and offers companies an environmental management approach that focuses on raising awareness, practical relevance and implementing measures. ÖKOPROFITT supports us, for example, in reducing our energy consumption and using other resources efficiently.

We want to constantly improve, including when it comes to sustainability and resource conservation. As part of the project, we are looking at whether we can use our resources even more efficiently by, for example, avoiding waste or recycling it better. Do you, as our guests, have ideas and suggestions for improvement for us? We look forward to receiving your message at jw@parkhotel-oberhausen.de

Environmental policy of the Parkhotel Oberhausen

Responsibility with heart. For today. For tomorrow. For all of us.

Sustainability is not a trend for us, but an attitude. We take responsibility – for our environment, for our region, for our guests and our hotel team. We focus on environmentally conscious action, fair partnerships and regional products – out of conviction and with a view to a future worth living.

Think holistically. Act consciously.

Sustainability begins for us in everyday life. We manage resources carefully, regularly check our processes and develop sensible measures for greater environmental friendliness – without losing sight of the comfort of our guests. Our goal is to create a place of well-being in which sustainability and comfort are not opposites but rather an active cooperation Because we are convinced: sustainability and well-being are not mutually exclusive – on the contrary, they complement each other.

For example, our guests decide for themselves whether they want their room cleaned daily. In the restaurant, we offer a diverse selection – from meat dishes to vegetarian and vegan dishes. The drinks menu includes both international classics and a regional wine that supports endangered animal species through its sale.

Together for a better future

Our team lives sustainability with enthusiasm. We promote an appreciative corporate culture, focus on long-term, fair working conditions and actively work together with regional partners.

We want to be – and remain – a place where people feel comfortable. A hotel that inspires, takes responsibility and at the same time offers enjoyment, comfort and cordiality.

Our most important fields of action are:

Energy: Electricity & heat

Goal: Reducing energy consumption and using regenerative energy sources.
Measures:

  • Use of LED lighting as soon as old lamps reach the end of their service life
  • Motion detectors and timers in areas that are not used frequently
  • Switch to certified green electricity since 01.01.2025
  • Regular inspection and maintenance of the systems to optimize efficiency

Water

Goal: Minimizing water consumption and reducing environmental pollution from wastewater
Measures:

  • Installation of water-saving faucets and shower systems as soon as old ones reach the end of their service life

  • Raising employee awareness of the economical use of water

Catering & food

We’ll stay on it. For tomorrow. For all of us.

Sustainability is not a closed process for us. It is a path that we continue to pursue with conviction and openness. We regularly question our processes, set ourselves new goals and are open to innovative ideas – from our guests, employees and partners.

Because every step counts – for a future worth living, a strong togetherness and a hotel that is more than just a place to stay. Parkhotel Oberhausen – Responsibility with heart.
