Sustainability

At Novelty Hotel Istanbul, sustainability is an integral part of our approach to hospitality. We are committed to responsible tourism practices that respect the environment, local culture, and the well-being of our guests, employees, and community.

Our sustainability efforts are designed in line with responsible tourism principles and aim to reduce environmental impact while supporting the cultural and social fabric of Istanbul’s historic district.

Environmental Responsibility

Energy Efficiency

We actively work to reduce energy consumption throughout the hotel by using energy-efficient lighting, appliances, and systems. Guests are encouraged to participate in energy-saving practices during their stay, such as turning off lights and air conditioning when not in use.

Water Conservation

Water-saving fixtures are used where possible, and guests are invited to help conserve water by reusing towels and linens during their stay. These practices help reduce water consumption without compromising guest comfort.

Waste Reduction and Recycling

Novelty Hotel Istanbul supports waste reduction through responsible purchasing, minimizing single-use products, and separating recyclable waste. Recycling practices are implemented in accordance with local regulations.

Carbon Footprint Monitoring

Novelty Hotel Istanbul monitors its environmental impact through periodic carbon footprint assessments conducted in line with internationally recognized methodologies, including the Greenhouse Gas Protocol and ISO 14064-1 standards.

Carbon footprint evaluations consider direct and indirect emissions related to energy consumption, water usage, operational activities, waste management, and hotel-related services. These assessments are used to better understand environmental impact and to identify opportunities for improvement.

The results of carbon footprint calculations are used internally to guide sustainability initiatives, improve operational efficiency, and support responsible tourism practices.
