Our sustainability guiding principles
The Lufthansa Group manages its companies in a value-oriented manner with a central responsibility for the climate, the environment and social justice. With the help of numerous measures, Lufthansa Seeheim is also continuously working to meet the growing demand for meetings, training and conferences with social and ecological responsibility. Our goal is to integrate conscious action in all areas of the company into the daily activities of the management and all employees in order to sustainably increase the ecological efficiency of the conference hotel’s operations.
Certified, of course!
Transparency regarding sustainability towards our guests and stakeholders is very important to us. We have therefore opted for a sustainability certification with the German market leader GreenSign.
The internationally recognised certification has been specially developed for the hotel industry, is practical and is based on high standards in accordance with EMAS and DIN ISO 14001. Furthermore, the certification catalogue, which examines eight core areas for sustainable management, is recognised by the Global Sustainable Tourism Council.
We are proud that Lufthansa Seeheim has been certified with GreenSign Hotel Level 4 out of 5 and are delighted to have a renowned partner at our side in GreenSign.

We also undergo regular inspections by the Certified Green Hotel Association, through which we have been awarded the Certified sustainability label.
