Green Stories

AMERON Hamburg Hotel Speicherstadt

SOS-Kinderdorf Hamburg

As a long-term partner of the SOS Children's Village Hamburg, the AMERON Hamburg team supported the HAFENFEST FÜR FAMILIEN at the beginning of June 2023. With delicious bowls and various vegetable toppings, Chef Christopher Gieritz with Junior Sous Chef Niels Wölter put a smile on the faces of numerous children. We are pleased to have been involved in our ❤ project again this year as a long-term partner and say THANK YOU to everyone for a successful event and their active support!

AMERON Luzern Hotel Flora

Trash Hero - Clean Up Days

We took part in the Season Kick Off of Lucerne Hotels with 11 team members of the AMERON Lucerne Hotel Flora under the motto A Green Promise and set an example against waste together with Trash Hero World.

About 75 employees from Lucerne hotels took part. Within 2 hours, we went on a tour through Lucerne in 8 teams and collected rubbish.

More than 3,000 cigarette butts were picked up in the city within 2 hours. Important to know: 1 cigarette butt contaminates 100 litres of water...

Trash Hero has a monthly Clean Up Day and we as a team have decided to participate regularly.

AMERON Köln Hotel Regent

BlechWech

We became aware of the "BlechWech" campaign, which has been recycling crown caps since 2018. On the one hand, of course, to protect the environment and act more sustainably, but above all to benefit from it.

The proceeds from the collected bottle caps are currently being used to support the mother-child clinic in Mogadishu, Somalia, via the SOS Children's Villages and to finance important vaccinations! We think this is a great campaign - especially when you realise how easy it is for us to support and how many crown caps are collected every day through active collecting!

A big thank you to all active collectors of Team Regent.

AMERON München Motorworld

Herb patch & support for a local football team

You can also set green accents in a Motorworld:
Chef Erik of the BACiO della MAMMA gets his Italian fresh herbs from the specially planted herb bed on the BACiO terrace.

With an advertisement in the club newspaper of ESV Freimann eV München, whose club grounds are just a minute away, the AMERON München Motorwolrd not only draws the attention of local residents to the BACiO, but also supports the youngest members: the ESV's E-youth football team with an urgently needed new kit.

AMERON Luzern Hotel Flora

Lucerne City Festival - Luzern Hilft

As part of a successful city festival in Lucerne, the BACiO della MAMMA collected 606 Swiss francs for a good cause.

On the two event days of the Lucerne City Festival, we were pleased to welcome a total of 606 guests at BACiO della MAMMA. As part of our fundraising campaign, we donated one Swiss franc to the "Luzern Hilft" foundation for every one of these guests!

We are proud to be part of such a committed city. #FromLucerneForLucerne
