Social responsibility in Brussels
Thon Hotels has a strong focus on sustainability and social responsibility. To contribute to a more sustainable society for future generations, Thon Hotels has implemented an environmental policy for its hotels in Brussels. The aim is to make the hotels as environmentally friendly and sustainable as possible.
Green Key
Three of the Thon hotels in Brussels (Thon Hotel EU, Thon Hotel Bristol Stephanie and Stanhope Hotel Brussels) and the hotel in Rotterdam (Thon Hotel Rotterdam) are certified under the international Green Key environmental label, which is currently available in more than 40 countries. To achieve Green Key certification, the hotels actively apply a number of criteria such as environmental management, information for guests, and minimising energy, water and chemicals consumption, as well as waste.
100% renewable energy
Thon Hotels in Brussels has entered into an electricity certificate agreement which guarantees that the energy supplied to all hotels comes from renewable energy sources. Switching to 100% sustainable energy will help us reduce our carbon footprint and work for even more sustainable hotel accommodation for our guests.
Green voucher
Thon Hotels in Brussels collaborates with the European Cancer Organization, the Belgian Red Cross and Birds Bay. Under this collaboration, guests staying at the hotel for more than one night can choose to hang a green card on the outside door handle stating that they do not want the room to be cleaned. In return, the guest receives a green gift card for EUR 5 that can be used in the bar/restaurant, or donated to GoodPlanet. For the donated money, GoodPlanet runs projects aimed at children and young people to create awareness of sustainability issues such as consumption, waste management, energy and climate, nature, food and water.
Blood Donation Day
Thon Hotel Brussels City Centre organises annual blood donation days in collaboration with the Belgian Red Cross. Donating blood, plasma and platelets helps save human lives.

Fairtrade
Thon Hotels in Brussels has chosen to buy only Fairtrade-certified coffee. The Fairtrade values, roasting coffee beans using solar energy, using coffee as organic waste, and recycled packaging are some of the positive effects resulting from this collaboration. Thanks to this collaboration, Thon Hotels in Brussels contributed to the following between 2016 and 2024:
- Protected 830,756 m² of rainforest
- Protected 48,075 trees
- Compensated 8,646,500 kg CO2
