The Kurhaus has been Green Globe certified since November 2022. 

The audit catalog consists of 50 mandatory and 300 additional criteria and covers corporate aspects such as the establishment of a communication strategy, measures for employee health and safety, the implementation of a sustainability management system and a hazard prevention program. Resource conservation in relation to purchasing policy, energy and water consumption, food procurement and the waste management plan at the sites are also taken into account. 

Like all other Green Globe-certified facilities, the Kurhaus is required not only to meet the mandatory criteria, but also to improve its results in various areas of sustainability from year to year.

With ÖkoProfit (ECOlogical PROject for Integrated Environmental Technology), the state capital of Wiesbaden is promoting the conservation of resources and energy efficiency in companies. The advisory programme is thus making an important contribution to the environment and climate-protection and to reducing costs in the business. The cooperation project between the city and local business is, at the same time, a local network for sustainable management.

The Kurhaus Wiesbaden joined ÖKOPROFIT Wiesbaden in 2017 and the ecological optimisation of the business was recertified in 2021. 

Kurhaus is consistently pursuing the path to sustainable building management. In addition to the continuous conversion to energy-saving technology, an important step was also taken towards process-based sustainable management.

Fairpflichtetis the sustainability code of the German-speaking event industry. Compliance with the EVVC/GCB sustainability code “fairpflichtet” is a matter of course for us: 

1. STRATEGY. Sustainable management means acting strategically, taking the lead and integration in the company processes.
2. Sustainability is seen above all as an OPPORTUNITY; for solving the effects of business activity in the future and for the benefit of everyone.
3. The "sustainable entrepreneur" feels responsible for their region and contributes to improving the COMMON GOOD.
4. ECONOMIC ASPECTS in balance with ecology and social aspects are equal objectives for the long-term stability of the company.
5. Responsible use of RESOURCES AND ENERGY means first prevent, second reduce and third replace with renewables.
6. The "sustainable employer" practises a high level of SOCIAL COMPETENCE towards their employees, improves their qualifications and secures employment. 
7. Out of RESPECT for people, the “sustainable entrepreneur” advocates observance of human rights and is against every form of discrimination and corruption.
8. OPENNESS is an attitude. Transparency of the sustainability measures is the consequence.
9. Voluntary COMMITMENT to sustainability is a commitment to oneself that becomes the company’s aspiration.
10. The "sustainable entrepreneur" makes INCENTIVES for rethinking and acting in order to involve employees and partners in a continuously improving sustainability process.

The Kurhaus Wiesbaden participates as a partner business in the "Destination Certification Sustainable Destination".

The partner business of the Sustainable Destination takes sustainability as an important management task. It ensures that the three dimensions of ecological, economic and socio-cultural sustainability are continuously strengthened in the operational business. In this way, it contributes to the award of the "Sustainable Destination" certificate to the tourism destination WIESBADEN RHEINGAU.

Whether during set-up, de-rig or during the event – waste prevention and waste sorting affects all our service providers, partners, employees and visitors / guests. Our environmental management concept thus covers a wide range of areas and is based on intensive communication with the affected stakeholders.

The central location of the Kurhaus Wiesbaden enables visitors to reach conference hotels, shops and restaurants on foot as well as the extensive bus, regional and long-distance rail network. The Kurhaus is five bus stops from the main train station and can be reached on foot in about 20 minutes (one-and-a-half kilometres). An environmentally friendly arrival and departure is thus guaranteed for event organisers, visitors and employees.

The cooperation with Deutsche Bahn for so called “event tickets” also facilitates issuing a combi-ticket from the Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund (transport association) for our own event in the Kurhaus and thus contributes to improving the CO2 footprint, leaving private cars at home during events that last several days and relieving the traffic situation.

The rental bicycles can also be used for fast, spontaneous mobility in the city. One of the many mobility stations for bike-sharing is located at "Kureck" corner and is thus directly accessible.

Last but not least, a sustainability consultant trained by the GCB e. V. is available to help event planners with all questions relating to the organisation of green meetings. Get in touch with us!
