Being sustainable isn’t a destination—it’s a journey. We still have plenty on our wish list—because we want to keep improving for Soe, Ida, Mon, and Basil.
Green Key as a Mirror
Three steps we’re focusing on
The Green Key and EU Ecolabel assessment systems hold up a mirror to us: they show us in black and white where we can improve. For the coming years, we’re setting the bar in three areas—each with a clear goal and an honest assessment of where we stand.
13
A specific CO₂ target and a plan
We set a measurable goal for our net CO₂ emissions—both the emissions we generate ourselves and the offsetting of the remainder.
🎯Goal — to be climate neutral by the end of 2026.
Status Update · September 2025- ›We applied for a grant fromTourism Flanders for a heat pump. Once it’s up and running, our energy consumption will be 100% CO₂-neutral (Scope 1 & 2).
- ›Scope3 (everything else) will remain, but we’ll reduce it by making as many eco-friendly choices as possible—and we’ll also continue to examine the environmental impact of our IT.
- ›Weare exploring ways to offset our remaining emissions.
21
Helping our guests reduce their emissions
Partly through compensation, partly through practical tips. Transportation plays by far the biggest role in this.
🎯Goal — Three-quarters of our guests will use sustainable transportation or offset the rest.
Status Update · September 2025- ›Most peoplecome by bike or on foot—although we don’t have any concrete figures on that yet.
- ›Manyguests pass by along one of the iconic bike routes.
- ›We’renoticing that more and more people are driving electric cars.
- ›Wecontributed to a comprehensive guide to all transportation options in the region—see “Smart Travel in Klein-Brabant.”
34
Better feedback loops
How can guests provide us with more, better, and more honest feedback about our sustainability efforts? We sometimes ask for it now, but not systematically.
🎯Goal — gather valuable feedback, with at least one concrete action and a demonstrable result.
Status Update · September 2025- ›Wecreated a questionnaire that we send out from time to time.
- ›We already get a lot of feedback throughBooking.com, Google, and TripAdvisor anyway.
- ›As soon asit becomes profitable, we’ll automate the process—maybe we’ll help build Fairbnb.coop’s feedback system.
We don’t promise perfection. But we do promise to keep trying, keep learning, and remain honest about what’s working and what isn’t.
