Sharing is caring

At Hotel Casa we value social matters, people and our planet. Have a look at how we try to contribute something positive.

Sustainability

Our dedicated Sustainability Team’s core task is to constantly reflect on the question: ‘How do we as Hotel Casa contribute to a more sustainable use of the earth?’ A challenging question, with many different possible answers. At Casa we use the BREEAM Certificate as a guideline to organize our business operations as sustainably as possible. The main topics we focus on are:

  • Transport
  • Management
  • Water
  • Energy
  • Waste

facts & trivia

Regarding sustainability...

We are part of the Green Hotel Club. An impact organisation from Amsterdam that stimulates collaboration among the members. Together we strive for high quality in hospitality, but also for sustainability. 

We're always on the lookout for creative, new ideas to make our hotel even more sustainable. Got a great idea? Don't hesitate to share it with us on info@hotelcasa.nl

We offer on request housekeeping...

We are on a green mission! There is no daily cleaning as per standard, except on the fourth day of each stay. This way, we can save up to 23,000 liters of water and 1060 kwh of electricity per year. We invest those cost savings in sustainable projects such as Hotels for Trees to make the world a little greener. Together with Hotels for Trees, we actively support the transition towards a more sustainable hotel industry. Let's unite for a greener world.

We don't offer plastic or paper water cups in the rooms...

We rather use glass! Anything poured from a glass container when compared to its plastic counterpart simply tastes better. Period. Also, glass is non-toxic, free from potentially harmful chemicals, and generally not associated with a negative impact on your health and the environment.

We encourage hotel guests by means of motivational signage to drink clean Amsterdam tap water...

We're proud of our 'tasty' Dutch drinking water. Bring your water bottle and enjoy it too!

All areas in the hotel are equipped with...

LED lighting!

We have a heat/cold storage, 50 meters below the hotel...

This way we keep the hotel cool in summer and warm in winter.

All lease cars in our fleet are...

Hybrid or electric.

All taps in the public areas of Hotel Casa are fitted with censors...

So that a tap is never left running unnecessarily.

We have been working together with JINC for several years now

An organization that helps young people with a disadvantage in the labor market to make a flying start. Our colleagues can register as a career coach or, for example, to provide job application training.

We've cycled twice in the HomeRide of the Ronald McDonald Foundation...

We entered a sustainable partnership and during the renovation of all our 520 hotel rooms, we also renovated one of the rooms of the Amsterdam Ronald McDonald House in the same style.

We set ourselves the goal of spending 240 hours a year (20 hours per month)...

On a socially responsible cause. Every Casa employee is given the opportunity to propose a goal and devote working time to it.

Diversity
And
Inclusivity

Did you know that...

Our workforce consists of...

53% women and 47% men.

A total of 21 different nationalities work at Hotel Casa...

30% of the total has a non-Dutch nationality.

People from all different age groups work at Hotel Casa...

11% are under 20, 47% are between 20 and 30 years old, 19% are between 30 and 40 years old, 16% are between 40 and 50 and 7% are over 50.

Our eight-headed Management Team currently consists of 80% women and 20% men...

This division is the result of a natural course of functions. With a vacant MT role, we always look for the most suitable person for the position.

When opening a new vacancy, we look for the most suitable candidate for the position...

Regardless of gender, age, origin, culture, sexual orientation, or other factors that may be discriminated against. We find it particularly important that a new colleague fits well into the Casa family and that every applicant has a fair chance. 

We work closely with schools and give students an opportunity to develop within Casa...

In this way we also give students who live in the Netherlands as status holders a chance. We teach these students the intricacies of the hospitality industry, but we also help them learn the Dutch language.

We are convinced that many of our vacancies can be easily filled by an employee with a disability...

That is why we give students with a physical disability the opportunity to do an internship with us, but we also work together with Emma at Work, a meditation agency for young people with a physical disability. Our facilities are easily accessible for people in a wheelchair and our employees like that there is room for people from the entire society!
