The Mövenpick Hotel Stuttgart Airport & Messe has changed the lighting in their public space and have

adopted LED lighting and lamps wherever they were able as well as the installing motion sensors

throughout the public and back of house areas in order to cut down on energy usage. The Key cards for each of the guests’ rooms are also connected and can automatically control the temperature and

lighting in the room. The rest of the temperature I the hotel is set to change automatically with a fixed

maximum and minimum setting that responds to the weather conditions.

The hotel also looks to offset any CO2 that they generate through business trips by using Atmosphere

projects which look to provide 100% CO2 savings and has been awarded the CDM Gold Standard which is the highest possible certification for projects that focus on carbon offset.

The Hotel also prides itself on providing staff with a safe and healthy working environment that offers

both fairness and transparency. Any and all new employees at the hotel must go through training at a

Welcome Day where they are educated about the Hotel, the Brand and the sustainability programmes

that have been set up. There are also shorter sustainability trainings during the daily 10-minute briefings that are held by department managers.
