Recent efforts
Introduction of EV buses
Huis Ten Bosch has introduced BYD's EV bus, which has the world's leading cutting-edge technology, for the purpose of being environmentally friendly.
The EV buses introduced are the large EV bus K9, which is in operation around the world, and the small EV bus J6, which was first developed for the Japanese market. K9 has been in operation since February 2020 as a shuttle bus exclusively for hotel guests in the park, and J6 has been in operation as Park Bus that runs in the park since December 4th.
SDGs Huis Huis Ten Bosch Lecture
Huis Ten Bosch offers a wealth of experiential learning content, such as SDGs lectures that discuss the pioneering SDGs initiatives that have been implemented since the park's opening, tours of environmental facilities, and English conversation classes within the park, which are primarily used as learning content by guests to the park.
Food safety management system
At Huis Ten Bosch, we have adopted the HACCP system, which was institutionalized by the partial revision of the Food Sanitation Act, at the restaurants of the Park Hotel to manage hygiene. We are working to maintain and improve food sanitation management by conducting training and remaking the content of HACCP initiatives from external vendors.
Shopping bag
About charging
As part of our SDGs efforts, from April 1, 2022, Huis Ten Huis Ten Bosch will charge for shopping bags, which are provided free of charge mainly at product sales stores, in order to reduce plastic containers and packaging. We are working to protect the global environment by unifying the materials to biomass materials.
Hotel Initiatives
■ Eco cleaning
At Huis Ten Bosch 5 Hotels, we ask for the cooperation of guests in implementing eco-cleaning measures to conserve water, reduce CO2 emissions, and combat global warming, with consideration for the global environment.
■ Food loss reduction
In our buffet restaurants, we display signs stating "Please help us reduce food waste" and ask for guests' cooperation in reducing food waste.
■Hotel Rotterdam Buildings D, E, and F
(From October 26, 2023, the name will change from Henn Na Hotel Huis Ten Bosch)
Contributing to the promotion of local forestry
In order to reduce construction costs and contribute to the promotion of local forestry, we used Japan's first CLT construction method and used 100% natural local wood.
Utilization of renewable energy
Solar power generation equipment is installed in various places in the Huis Huis Ten Bosch hall, and the electricity used for the production is partly covered by the energy system.
Internal SDGs Penetration Project
Huis Ten Bosch 's initial concept was "coexistence of ecology and economy."
With "sustainable development", we want to present a wonderful culture and natural environment to children 1,000 years from now.
That is our unchanging wish at Huis Huis Ten Bosch.
In order to continue contributing to a sustainable society, we launched an internal SDGs project team on July 10, 2021.
We are also focusing on sharing our environmentally friendly efforts since the opening of Huis Ten Bosch and establishing a strengthening month to deepen our knowledge of the SDGs.
