Mission ESG - Green Team founded at Bellevue

The year 2022 was used at the Bilderberg Bellevue Hotel Dresden to take major steps in the direction of ESG, short for Environment, Social and Governance. This includes commissioning a large-scale photovoltaic system on the roofs of the Dresden hotel, which will be installed in spring 2023. Another measure is the conversion of all halogen lamps to LED.

Measures on such a large scale, as well as smaller adjustments for environmentally conscious and responsible action, are not decided by one person at the Bellevue Hotel. ‘ESG is a highly complex issue that can hardly be supervised by one person,’ emphasises Sebastian Klink. "That's why we set up the Green Team some time ago. We have drawn on one or two colleagues from each department who are committed to the issue and work together to gather ideas for measures. Once a quarter, we come together on a large scale to discuss these ideas and put them into action. By bringing employees from all areas of the hotel on board, we not only incorporate multiple perspectives into the decision-making process, but also ensure that information is disseminated to all departments. This creates a common understanding and ensures that everyone in the team is on board. This is a key factor for success – after all, ESG is a journey we are all on together."

Podcast recommendation: topcast #22 from TOP Magazine Dresden

In November, the Bellevue team was visited by the editorial team of TOP Magazine Dresden. After a morning run with the hotel's running concierges, the subsequent interview highlighted a few examples of how the team at the Bilderberg Bellevue Hotel Dresden acts in a sustainable, social and responsible manner: from energy-efficient building renovation and specially trained e-mobility experts for guests to in-house honey production, the planned photovoltaic system on the roof and the WIR VOM BELLEVUE spirit, which provides the necessary ‘push’ for implementing all these measures.

The interview was given by Sebastian Klink, General Manager, Ellen Sattler, Director of Sales, and Rocky Zimmer, Director of Convention Sales.
