Sustainability

Through collective action and everyday choices, we are embedding sustainability into the core of our operations and growth.

Green limehomes

One of our biggest levers for sustainability lies in the energy that powers our properties. All of our limehomes are powered by 100% renewable energy produced from clean, natural resources like wind, solar & hydro that we retrieve directly from our green energy providers. That way we can light up our apartments emission-free and our beloved planet can stay as green as our power production.

Eco-friendly cleanliness

A huge environmental impact on the hotel industry stems from the water, energy & chemicals consumption as a result of daily cleanings. During your stay we encourage you to request daily cleans only when necessary. This way we can reduce water consumption by more than 50% and at the same time decrease the amount of chemicals and energy used in cleaning tremendously.Who knew keeping your towel on the rack could be so powerful?

Responsible partnerships

To deliver exceptional stays across Europe, we rely on a network of dedicated suppliers who share our values. That’s why we’ve developed our Supplier Code of Conduct, which outlines clear expectations around environmental care, human rights, business ethics, and fair labour practices. We believe that working with partners who act responsibly is key to building a more sustainable and transparent hospitality industry. We invite all our suppliers to not only meet but actively support our principles, so that every limehome experience is built on integrity from the inside out.

Word from our CEOs

We are committed to growing our company in ways that prioritise our social communities and natural environment over short-term financial gains. We power the majority of our limehomes with 100% renewable energy, repurpose historic buildings to cut CO₂, and partner with guests to dramatically reduce water waste, the use of plastic and toxic cleaning products on every stay. We hold our suppliers to the highest standards through our Supplier Code of Conduct and collaborate with every guest to collectively move the needle toward sustainable hospitality.

Our sustainable in-room products

A regular hotel stay generates plenty of single-use plastic – a limehome stay does not! Our suite guest experience also includes not having to worry about unnecessary consumption of non-sustainable products. Here’s how we enable sustainable living:

Cosmetics

Single-use cosmetic samples still play a major role in the hotel industry. That’s why our limehomes are equipped with special dispensers that are meant to last longer and even more importantly can be refilled. Hereby we are able to keep both you and our planet sustainably clean.

Minimum waste

One-way consumables are producing an enormous amount of non-essential waste. That’s why our in-room promotion material is provided mostly digital and can be recycled, whereas unnecessary use of plastic is prevented.

Coffee pods

One of our beloved amenities for you is providing a coffee machine in our apartments. Your daily morning routine in our limehomes is organic and even CO2 neutral. Using MY CUPS compostable capsules you can relax and enjoy your coffee. What better way to get powered up in the morning and stay sustainable right?

CO2 construction savings

The buildings construction industry contributes 10% to total global energy-related CO₂ emissions.* That’s why we have decided to take on complex conversion projects, rather than having a sole focus on building new developments. This approach pays off in two ways: A less heavy toll on the environment as well as unique & interesting locations.That way we are able to contribute to the “liveliness” of city centres and go even beyond the environmental aspect by avoiding empty buildings and fostering local demand through every customer we accommodate.A few examples are our lovely apartments in Erfurt that regenerate a former heating plant into a limehome, the beautiful train station in Rottenburg, combining both modern and ancient architecture or our gorgeous renovation of a historic hotel in Baden-Baden. Have a look at these beautiful limehomes & convince yourself:*according to the 2020 United Nations Environment Programme Report

We care as #oneteam

At limehome, it is important that the efforts around sustainability do not stop at our own doors, but extend to every employee and our interaction with the planet. That’s why we strive to reduce our collective emissions and empower our employees to share and participate in that effort.We try to travel by rail, rather than air! When it comes to our internal IT, we often reuse and repair over rebuying. Our partnership with renewable energy providers extends even to our own environment and keeps us warm through fully eco-friendly energy in the office. Lastly, we are reducing daily commutes through our offer of fully remote and hybrid working models, enabling our team to work from home completely or partially.
