Yoram Biton, Managing Director Leonardo Hotels Central Europe
Leonardo Hotels is expanding its commitment and turning World Cleanup Day 2025 into a European movement: Employees from 140 hotels in 12 countries are participating in cleanup campaigns – from Berlin to Bucharest, from London to Rome. Instead of a single day, the period has been extended to ten days to allow as many teams as possible to participate.
“For us, sustainability is not an abstract concept, but a responsibility we live by. Cleanup Day shows that, as a company, we can take action together with our teams and make a real difference—for the communities in which we live and work,” explains Yoram Biton, Managing Director of Leonardo Hotels Central Europe.
The Berlin headquarters also took part: The team collected trash around Landsberger Allee, employees in Munich cleaned up the banks of the Isar River, and four hotels in Cologne took care of parks, playgrounds, and church grounds.
In addition, some hotels added their own individual highlights: The Posthouse Berlin planted trees, and the NYX Hotel Köpenick made a playground usable again.

When culinary excellence becomes an ecological statement—and top chefs take responsibility: Sustainability doesn’t end with packaging—it begins with product selection. This is impressively demonstrated by the Relais & Châteaux association, which, with over 580 member establishments, is considered the world’s largest gourmet community. Together with the NGO Ethic Ocean, it has launched an initiative that could not be more consistent: its chefs are committed to removing endangered fish and seafood species from their menus until stocks have recovered.
