Sustainable Berlin Tourism l Französischer Dom

As a pioneer in Berlin's corporate landscape, we at BESONDERE ORTE have been part of the Sustainable Berlin Partner community since 2018. We were the first company to achieve ‘Leader’ certification - the highest honour in the demanding sustainability audit.

Our sustainability performance undergoes regular evaluations according to more than 60 different criteria in the key areas of governance, risk & compliance, economy, environment and society.

We have expanded our sustainability portfolio since 2024: In addition to the original certification in the ‘Locations’ division, our viewing platform at the Französischer Dom and our Hugo & Notte restaurant now also bear the sustainability seal. The following explanations refer to these business areas.
