Gréng Leader an Ghana: Mövenpick Ambassador Hotel Accra

Mövenpick Ambassador Hotel Accra is a contemporary 5-star hotel set in an urban oasis within Ghana’s central business district. The Accra Financial Centre, World Trade Centre, International Conference Centre and Government Ministries are all situated close by.

Mövenpick Ambassador Hotel Accra is proud to announce its sixth consecutive Green Globe Certification. Both management and staff have worked together on improving the hotel’s sustainable goals. As a result, the overall audit score has increased from 73% to 81% compared to the previous year.

Axel Hauser, General Manager of the Mövenpick Ambassador Hotel Accra said: “I am extremely proud of the team’s achievements and know that it has taken a great deal of work and dedication to achieve this fantastic result. The Green Globe Certification Award shows the hotel’s long-term commitment to sustainability, involving and educating the whole team on how they can make a difference.”

In its quest to sustainably utilize resources, the hotel has invested over half a million dollars into six special projects which aim to reduce energy consumption over the long term. This includes the diversion of steam from the boiler to the hotel dehumidifier to cut down on energy used in heating dehumidifiers, the installation of an adiabatic cooling system and chiller plant management system, heat recovery from chillers, chiller power factor correction and the installation of a duty cycle programmer fitted on pool pumps.

In line with the Mövenpick Hotels and Resorts global sustainability initiative Shine, the Mövenpick Ambassador Hotel gave back to the community through organizing various events. Guests were encouraged to support a fundraising event last December. Proceeds from this were then used to hold a Christmas party and sports event for children from Kinder Paradise on Boxing Day, the 26th of December. The hotel also invited Chance for Children, an NGO for street children in Accra to participate in its Christmas lighting ceremony. To assist those in need, food donations were given to the Princess Marie Louis hospital and retired bedspreads and bed sheets were donated to support a local leprosarium.

Several training sessions were held for staff from all departments by the Innovations Manager of the property’s waste contractor, Jekora Ghana Limited to encourage better waste segregation procedures amongst employees. In 2016, the hotel successfully increased the amount of paper and cardboard it recycled by 71% (5,026 kg) according to the Hotel Optimizer Report that is compiled by Green Globe’s preferred partner FARNEK Middle-East.

The property’s new owner, Quantum Global, remains committed to supporting the hotel’s sustainability initiatives to ensure that the property remains a leader in sustainability in the Sub-Saharan African region.
