Sustainability at Oude Werf

A Core Principle

We take sustainability seriously. This isn’t just a marketing gimmick for us; it’s a core principle that guides our operations.

We recognise that while we’ve made progress, we still have a long way to go, and we’re learning (with you) every step of the way.

Oude Werf

Fair Trade Tourism Certified

We’re honoured to share that Oude Werf has once again been re-certified by Fair Trade Tourism (FTT).

There’s more to hospitality than just providing a great experience to our guests. We also want to make a meaningful impact on the people and environment around us.

  • Fair wages and working conditions
  • Fair purchasing and operations
  • Equitable distribution of benefits
  • Respect for human rights, culture and the environment

For us, responsible tourism isn’t a box to tick—it’s simply the way we do things.
