Commitment
Our values are also reflected in what we do.
For us, organic and green are an attitude towards life that we live every day, one which is repeatedly expressed in our actions. We are active in the Umweltforum Rhein-Main e.V., and Christiane Hütte is the chairwoman of the Frankfurt Netzwerk Achtsame Wirtschaft (Mindful Economy Network), which meets regularly at Villa Orange. We support the industry code of conduct for the events industry, ‘fairpflichtet’.
Community of values BIO HOTELS
After our organic certification, we joined the BIO HOTELS association in 2009, which represents the highest ecological standards in tourism, which we are happy to implement as a business and city hotel.
Rhine-Main Environmental Forum
We are involved in the network for environment and sustainability (Netzwerk für Umwelt und Nachhaltigkeit) in the Rhine-Main region.
Netzwerk Achtsame Wirtschaft
Christiane Hütte heads the Regional Group Frankfurt of the Netzwerk Achtsame Wirtschaft (Mindful Economy Network) together with Henriette Hunger. The network meets regularly at Villa Orange.
Industry code of conduct fairpflichtet
We support the industry code to promote sustainability in the events industry, initiated by the European Association of Event Centres e.V. (EVVC) and the GCB German Convention Bureau e.V.
Sponsorship for an apple tree
We obtain our organic apples and strawberries from the Obsthof Am Steinberg. Andreas Schneider’s idea of preserving historical varieties with a newly created apple grove fits perfectly with our philosophy of sustainable management, so sponsoring a tree was a natural thing for us to do. Müschen’s rose apple is the variety that will grow on the Villa Orange tree. This very rare variety is considered a markedly early maturing summer variety.
