Fenntarthatóság

Dear Madam / Sir,

We are delighted to welcome you in our establishment.

Since its creation, the Accor group has been working to make the world a greener, more welcoming place. The Group was the first major French company to create an Environmental Department and has been working for over 30 years to promote positive hospitality.
In concrete terms, the Group is deploying a sustainable development approach based on three key pillars: Staying, Eating and Exploring the world.

At ibis Styles Budapest City hotel, we care about the environment and we advocate for environmentally sound and sustainable practices in our daily operation. Our various environmental and sustainability efforts are core pillars of our business and we strive to create social and environmental benefits for the surrounding community. We recognise our role in the global tourism industry and strive for long-term sustainable management of our activities, thus actively contributing to an overall sustainable development of the industry.

• Stay - The Group aims to offer its customers a unique and lasting experience by supporting the transformation of hotel operations.
• Food - The Group is committed to offering its customers more sustainable food, working actively to optimise the traceability of its supply chain, reduce food waste and offer its customers an increasingly organic, local and seasonal food offer.
• Explore - The Group intends to offer its customers a new vision of travel, one that is more global, more contribute and more inclusive. This means becoming more deeply rooted in local communities, generating a positive impact on the local environment, and raising customers' awareness of the need to respect nature.

At ibis Styles Budapest City hotel, we are committed to act for sustainability, reduction of our CO2 emission and environmental footprint with the following actions:

We also encourage you to join us and protect our common resources through some simple steps:

- do not waste food, “take all you can eat but eat all you take” approach at breakfast
- keep lights, TV and air-conditioning/heating on in the rooms only if it is truly needed
- save clean water by responsible water consumption, and by using the towels, bed sheets and linen longer, and by skipping the daily cleaning
- reduce your waste
- use green means of transport to discover the city (public bicycle, e-scooter, e-car sharing)

Thank you for supporting our work during your stay!

In order to give concrete expression to our commitment to continuous improvement, in February 2025 our hotel obtained the Green Key certification label.
