Alongside our goal to provide a safe experience for our guests, Generator is also on a mission to protect the environment and promote a space where travellers from all over the world are free to be their authentic selves at all times.
Through engaging in more sustainable initiatives and fostering social mindfulness and security for our guests (as well as local communities, employees and stakeholders), we aim to lessen our impact on both the planet and the society we are part of.
HOW DO WE REDUCE OUR CARBON FOOTPRINT?
- Our hybrid accommodation model is 70-80% less carbon intensive than regular hotels on a per-guest basis on average.
- We don’t build our properties from the ground up, but we take what’s already there and convert it into something unique.
- Generator Madrid: Originally designed as a gas station parking lot, Generator Madrid now features 129 rooms and 542 beds.
- Generator Amsterdam: Located in Oosterpark, our Amsterdam property used to be a zoology university building that has then been converted into a home away from home.
- We are located centrally – so it’s far easier for you to visit on foot, avoiding the need for taxis, trains and buses.
- If you can’t walk to your destination, rent a #GenBike from our reception.
- Opt-out of housekeeping services to minimise our (and your) impact by reducing waste, water, and the usage of cleaning products. And we also pay you to do it (yup, you got it right!). Find more here.
- Our bar and restaurant menus offer both vegan and vegetarian options, to reduce the impact of more carbon-heavy meals.
HOW YOU CAN BE A RESPONSIBLE TRAVELLER
- Save water – take shorter, cooler showers.
- When leaving your room, always turn lights, plugs and electronics off.
- Request to reuse towels and linen throughout your stay.
- Remember to carry a reusable water bottle with you.
- Don’t rely on single-use plastic (they can take hundreds of years to decompose).
- Immerse yourself in the local environment responsibly and compassionately.
- Reduce your meat consumption and consume locally sourced ingredients.
