Conscious entrepreneurship

A sustainable stay

We are extremely proud of our forest and home. In this beautiful green environment, we are extra aware that we all need to take good care of our planet. For nature and people. The Eikenhorst takes a leading role in this and goes beyond what is required by laws and regulations. If we all do our part, we can leave the world even more beautiful than we got it! We think about the choices we make. The following principles are important to us and can be experienced when you are at Boshuis de Eikenhorst.

Green Key

The Eikenhorst is Greenkey certified, achieving the very highest level of gold in it. We are proud of that but we continue to work to do even better.

Our take on now

  • We use as little energy as possible. For example, our building will have an A+ energy label by 2022.
  • We use renewable electricity. The Eikenhorst has 22 solar panels, which provide almost all of its power consumption. What we lack, we buy green.
  • We use water sparingly. We have our own well that keeps the forest pond level and the garden and forest green in dry periods. Faucets and showers are water efficient.
  • We contribute to biodiversity. In our two-hectare forest you will discover many flora and fauna. This is because we are consciously managing the water level of the forest pond, leaving some fallen trees, having a variety of plants and trees and active forest management for a vital forest for the future.
  • We offer welcoming vacations to guests with disabilities, whatever form of impairment it may be. For example, everything is ground level, barrier-free, wide doors and passages and some adapted facilities such as in the bathroom.
  • We educate and facilitate our team on how to reduce their impact on the environment while working.
  • The products we buy are preferably (recognized) sustainable or circular.
  • We are committed to social causes such as Much Love.
  • We buy as few single-use items as possible.
