Berlin, 21 August 2024 – ehotel AG, a leading provider of hotel booking services for business travel, has reached a significant milestone in its sustainability strategy. Back in 2021, ehotel® began working closely with the renowned organisations myclimate and GreenSign to systematically collect relevant data for determining its carbon footprint. This data was comprehensively collected and analysed in 2022. The final analysis is now available and provides a detailed representation of the company’s carbon footprint for 2022. For these efforts and close cooperation, ehotel® has been awarded the prestigious CO2 certificate from myclimate and GreenSign, recognising the company’s outstanding sustainability efforts.
Strategies for CO2 compensation
Based on the comprehensive analysis, ehotel® can now initiate precise CO2 compensation measures to completely neutralise its ecological footprint. This underlines the company’s firm commitment to a sustainable future and its active contribution to global climate protection.
