Our Impact
78.1 MJ
Energy per guest night
Regional LeaderAmsterdam Manor uses less energy per guest night than any competitor in the region.
Our 78.1 MJ is well below the regional average of 144 MJ.
This reflects efficiency investments in solar, LED lighting, and equipment upgrades.
8.8 kg CO₂-e
Emissions per guest night
Regional LeaderWe have the lowest greenhouse gas emissions per guest night in the region.
At 8.8 kg CO₂-e, we outperform both the regional leader benchmark of 10.0 and the average of 14.4.
This is achieved through solar energy, efficient systems, and reduced diesel use.
184 L
Water per guest night
Regional LeaderOur potable water use per guest night is the lowest in the region.
184 L is significantly below the regional average of 486 L.
Water savings are achieved with low-flow fixtures, greywater reuse, and efficient systems.
