Limehome is efficient by design. Our model naturally reduces resource use, from energy and utilities to operations. Yet our ambition goes far beyond operational excellence – we strive to set a benchmark for our industry.
Our priority
Our goal is to reduce the carbon footprint of every stay at Limehome. We achieve this through our digital-first model, efficient operations, responsible partnerships and carefully managed portfolio. Today, a Limehome stay generates around 50% fewer emissions per night than the European hotel benchmark – a result we continuously measure and report across energy use, operations and our supply chain.
For our guests, this means a stay that not only feels seamless and comfortable, but also comes with a meaningfully lower environmental footprint.
Our CO₂ footprint
Reducing our carbon footprint starts with measuring it responsibly. We account for the full scope of our emissions across operations, supply chain, and portfolio, in line with recognised standards.
Our areas of impact
We focus our efforts where we can make the biggest difference – across environmental impact, people and responsible business growth.
Sustainable stay
Responsible operations
We reduce the environmental impact of our daily operations through:
- Renewable electricity: A growing share of our apartments runs on renewable energy.
- Smart utility management: Digital systems optimise energy use and reduce consumption.
- Responsible sourcing: We choose durable products and prioritise local sourcing.
- Water-saving fixtures: Installed to lower water consumption.
- Reduced linen changes: Fewer towel and linen changes save water and energy.
- Ecological cleaning products: 38.5% of new units use EU Ecolabel-certified products.
- Refillable cosmetics: Dispensers replace single-use amenities to reduce waste.
- Compostable coffee pods: Help us minimise single-use plastics.
- Digital lock systems: Eliminate the need for keycards, further reducing plastic waste.
Responsible portfolio strategy
We prioritise refurbishing existing buildings over new construction wherever possible. This reduces embodied carbon while making more efficient use of existing urban space – a more impact-led approach to scaling our portfolio.
Smart utility management
We use digital monitoring and data insights to improve energy and utility efficiency across our portfolio. By digitising metering data and tracking consumption, we create the visibility needed to identify reduction opportunities and collaborate with landlords to enhance building systems.
Sustainable sourcing
We integrate environmental criteria into our procurement decisions, prioritising durable, low-impact, repairable materials. We also streamline logistics by working with European suppliers and using centralised warehouses to reduce transport distances and avoid partial loads.
Social stewardship
Empowering people
We foster a safe, inclusive and development-oriented workplace through learning opportunities, leadership coaching and flexible working models. Our HR processes are built on fairness and transparency, while our internal code of conduct ensures equity, feedback and collaboration. We also support our teams’ physical and mental wellbeing with on-demand resources catering to individual needs. Together, these measures strengthen long-term engagement, reduce risks related to discrimination or inequality, and support both personal and collective growth.
Hosting with heart starts within our team. We invest in building a culture and community where everyone feels safe, supported, and seen – and is encouraged to grow and shoot for the stars. That’s how we build something that lasts, for our teams and for everyone we host.
Guest experience
We provide a reliable and safe experience for every guest by ensuring clear communication, consistently high hygiene and safety practices, strong data-protection standards and accessible physical and digital touchpoints. Guest trust is fundamental to our model, and strengthening information, responsiveness and usability directly supports a smooth stay and helps reduce operational risks.
A seamless stay starts long before check-in and that is what we deeply care about. The Guest Experience team combines digital efficiency with real human hospitality to resolve issues quickly, communicate clearly, and ensure every guest feels looked after.
Responsible business
Business ethics
We conduct our business in line with clear ethical, legal, and governance standards. This includes robust compliance structures, data protection, and responsible decision-making across all areas of our operations.
Supplier & business partner engagement
We apply the same level of commitment to our partnerships, holding business partners and suppliers to the same compliance standards. Through defined guidelines and regular review, we work to ensure transparency, reduce risk, and uphold responsible practices across our value chain.
