Badhotel Domburg

Environmental policy statement

In 2026, Badhotel Domburg has once again made sustainable and socially responsible business practices, along with care for the environment and nature, key priorities in its policy. Our staff work together with our guests to manage our environmental impact and minimise environmental risks. We inform new staff members about the options available to them in carrying out their work. Our policy serves as a guide in this regard. By signing a declaration, all our staff members provide an insight into their current knowledge of environmental issues as they relate to their work.

Our policy
Our policy can be summarised as follows:

  • We provide services that meet our guests’ expectations and, where possible, exceed them;
  • we conduct our business operations in such a way as to protect the environment and safeguard the health and safety of all stakeholders (guests, staff, suppliers, owners and the local community).

In doing so, we adhere to the following principles:

  • we recognise the primacy of environmental considerations whenever potentially conflicting operational and commercial matters arise;
  • we comply with all laws and regulations relating to environmental matters;
  • we train all new staff and/or provide further training to existing staff, holding them accountable for adhering to our environmental policy;
  • we empower staff to continuously remove obstacles to the ongoing improvement of our environmental performance;
  • we regularly measure and document our progress in environmental matters using a monitoring programme.

Our environmental management
Badhotel Domburg aims to minimise the production of (residual) waste and to limit any associated adverse impact on the air, water and soil through an effective environmental management system.

Environmental Management
We achieve this through, amongst other things:

  • waste separation of glass, paper, cork, small chemical waste, plastic film, organic kitchen waste, plastic and metal drink cartons, electrical equipment and used workwear;
  • linen management, asking our guests to reuse towels;
  • cleaning using eco-friendly cleaning products and microfibre cloths

Reducing energy consumption
We achieve this through measures such as:

  • an electricity supply based entirely on green energy;
  • a new 4x84kW high-efficiency boiler system (previously 1000 kW!) in a cascade configuration, with separate circuits for hot water and heating;
  • air conditioning is automatically controlled – no guests = no use – and features a heat recovery system; – heat from the swimming pool contributes to heat recovery for the building;
  • lighting in hotel suites and public areas using fluorescent and LED lighting.

Reducing water consumption
We achieve this through measures including:

  • water management in guest showers (9 litres/minute) and taps (5 litres/minute)
  • automatic water-saving taps combined with high-speed hand dryers in public toilets.

Use of raw materials and transport
We achieve this through measures such as:

  • cooking with a conscious and selective use of organic and/or regional produce from suppliers in Zeeland;
  • printed materials using environmentally friendly, chlorine-free paper with standard double-sided printing.
  • Furthermore, our hotel has charging points for electric cars.
