Our sustainable measures at the Kurhaus
Central location and sustainable arrival
The central location of the Kurhaus Wiesbaden means that it is within walking distance of conference hotels, shopping and catering facilities as well as the extensive bus, regional and long-distance rail network.
Mobility is one of the main factors for high CO2 emissions at events. We support event planners in ensuring that guests and employees travel to and from Wiesbaden in an environmentally friendly way and use public transport or bicycles.
It is five bus stops from Wiesbaden main station to the Kurhaus.
It can be reached on foot from the main station in around 20 minutes (one and a half kilometers). This ensures an environmentally friendly arrival and departure for organizers, visitors and employees.
The cooperation with the RMV and Deutsche Bahn (German Railways) makes it possible to use a combined ticket from the Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund (RMV) for your own event at the Kurhaus with so-called"event tickets" and thus helps to improve the CO2 footprint, leave the private car at home during an event lasting several days and relieve traffic congestion.
Whether during set-up, dismantling or during the event. Avoiding and separating waste affects all service providers, partners, employees and visitors / guests of the hotel. For this reason, the hotel's own environmental management concept takes into account a wide range of areas and relies on intensive communication with the parties concerned.
Accessibility
Parking spaces for people with disabilities in the underground parking garage, near the entrance. Access is provided by elevator.
The entrance and all rooms and facilities that can be used by guests are accessible without steps or can be reached via an elevator.
Passages and doors are at least 90 cm wide.
Access to the spa gardens is guaranteed via a ramp.
WCs for people with disabilities are available and located on the first floor.
An induction loop is available in the Friedrich-von-Thiersch-Saal for hearing-impaired visitors with hearing aids, enabling them to follow the action on stage acoustically.
We raise our employees' awareness of environmental protection and motivate them to support the process of sustainable management and actively participate in it. They are supported in this by regular information and training.
We comply with laws and regulations as well as official requirements and we are also committed to continuously improving and expanding operational environmental protection. We base all environmental protection measures on the best available and economically viable technology.
When procuring products and services, we observe ecological and sustainable criteria wherever possible and economically justifiable. We encourage our suppliers to give environmental protection a similarly high priority as we do ourselves. We use the resources we use as sparingly as possible and ensure that they can be reused.
We maintain an open and objective dialog with our business partners, neighbors, authorities and the interested public about the environmental impact of our company and are open to suggestions for improvement.
We want to be a role model in our industry with our operational environmental protection and communicate this proactively.
Plan your event sustainably and make a valuable contribution to our environment. Together we can make your event a success - climate-friendly and convenient!
We recommend the CO2 calculator - specially designed for events - from the Federal Environment Agency and our sustainability checklist to help you keep track.
Sustainability consulting
Last but not least, a sustainability consultant trained by the GCB e. V. is available to assist event planners in all matters relating to the organization of green meetings. Talk to us!
The focus of sustainable resource management should always be on the avoidance and reduction of resources before any offsetting measures.
