For generations to come

A sustainable future 

Sustainability and mindful business are an important part of our ethos, strategy and company culture. We believe that by working together we can ensure a truly regenerative legacy. 

Our Preservation Promise 

• To care for the world around us and ensure our heritage is our future 

• Honour and preserve our unique properties for future generations 

• Support our local community and promote the cultural wealth of our region 

Our Mission 

To preserve cultural heritage through the application of sustainable business practices that reflect meaningful luxury. Protecting our planet and supporting the community, to ensure long-term economic, social, and ecological impact. 

Our Vision 

To lead proactively and be the benchmark for sustainability in hospitality, driving conversations that inspire our guests, colleagues and partners to support world change for the better. 

How we commit 

We are mindful that sustainability should be the red thread that runs through every touchpoint of our business. With this in mind, we consider our four company pillars – people, place, gastronomy, collection - pivotal to ensuring a cohesive approach with positive impact.  

People

We thrive as one 

By investing in education, Oostwegel Collection is committed to ensuring that our sustainability principles are carefully considered and actively upheld with every interaction between guest and team member. 

Place  

We believe heritage is about the future 

As historic national buildings, our properties are where the past defines the future. Each visit, each dinner, and each overnight stay contribute to the rich history and lush landscape of South Limburg. At Oostwegel Collection we invite our guests to be part of our journey towards a sustainable future. 

Gastronomy

We serve all senses 

One of our greatest pleasures is to enrich every interaction with meaningful quality, while keeping the way we treat the world foremost in our minds. From growing the freshest ingredients and using seasonal produce in our kitchens, to producing wine from homegrown vines, we are committed to reducing our carbon footprint.  

Collection

We grow together as a family 

The future of our business is shaped by our diverse team. Oostwegel Collection sets an example as an inventive, forward-thinking brand for guests, colleagues and the environment. We are a thriving company that continually reinvests to secure our portfolio and landscape for the next generation. 

Our commitments 

Innately tied to the pillars, our eco commitments are a way of holding ourselves accountable to ensure a more sustainable and bright future. Through these objectives - heritage, community, cuisine, energy and workplace – we are able to focus on a holistic approach that has an impact on every aspect of our business. 

Heritage Pledge  

A percentage of our revenue goes towards the preservation of our cultural heritage. Through this we help to maintain the upkeep of our historic properties and surrounding landscape, as well as support local culture and the arts.   

OC Academy  

As part of our commitment within the hospitality industry, we believe that investing in people ensures a robust outlook for the future. At OC Academy we work to encourage knowledge, skill and personal growth through partnering with Hotel Management School Maastricht and MBO courses, as well as local partners. Each member of the team is welcomed into the family and benefits from being part of the collective journey, towards a more sustainable and bright future. 

Eco conscious approach 

As a family-owned and managed business we are passionate about caring for the environment. We understand that a hotel’s eco-credentials are of huge importance to guests and with this in mind, we are proud to focus on long term beneficial sustainability initiatives. In 2016, we set a 10-year target to reduce our energy and water consumption by 20% by 2026.

Certification  

Green Key is an international body that promotes sustainable business practices in the tourism, leisure and hospitality industries. It guarantees commitment from an operator to be as environmental as possible, beyond legislative guidelines and regulations.   

In appreciation of our sustainability initiatives, all our locations have been rewarded with the Green Key Gold certificate in the year 2021.
