Sustainability

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.

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.
