Sustainability

For a sustainable future…

Our Sustainability Policy

Global 2022 Hotel aims to offer a stay that respects Istanbul’s environment, community and culture. Our Sustainability Management System covers energy and water efficiency, waste reduction, responsible purchasing and support for local producers.

We use measures such as LED lighting, water-saving devices, waste separation and recycling. Staff training and guest feedback support continuous improvement. Guests with accessibility needs should contact us before booking: the hotel is not fully wheelchair accessible.

We support local culture, protect natural and cultural heritage, and monitor energy, water, carbon emissions and guest and employee satisfaction through a Plan–Do–Check–Act process.
