Toskana Therme Bad Orb Receives GreenSign Certificate

(eap) Toskana Therme Bad Orb, which belongs to the Toskanaworld group, has been certified with the “GreenSign SPA”. After Toskana Therme Bad Sulza was the first spa of the group to receive the certificate last year, the spa in Orb (Hesse, Germany) is now the second spa to present the sustainability certificate of the InfraCert Institute for Sustainable Development. The assessment criteria for obtaining the certificate include energy efficiency, water and waste management, as well as regionality and mobility, management and communication, social commitment and cultural heritage. The respective businesses are then divided into levels from one to five based on these categories. Toskana Therme reached level three, which means that a sustainability concept is applied in almost all spa areas (50-69 percent of all criteria are implemented). The spa uses electricity from renewable sources and LED lighting. Also, the company is socially committed (e.g. supports sports teams) and can guarantee job security through a long-term investment plan.

The hotel directly connected to the Bad Orb spa was also recertified, thus successfully withstanding an audit according to the latest international standards. In addition to these, all the other hotels of the Toskanaworld group can also boast a GreenSign certificate. ■
