Sustainability at Sapporo Prince Hotel

At Sapporo Prince Hotel, we are committed to creating a better tomorrow. Guided by the Seibu Group’s shared philosophy and the global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), we continuously enhance our Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives.

Sakura Quality Green Certification

Sapporo Prince Hotel is proud to be the first lodging facility in Hokkaido to earn the prestigious “3 Goromoizakura” designation from Sakura Quality An ESG Practice. This certification reflects our alignment with global SDG standards and our commitment to meaningful sustainability action.

About Sakura Quality Green
Sakura Quality Green is a third-party certification that evaluates facilities based on 172 criteria across five categories, including environmental care, community contribution, and sustainable corporate governance.

Safety and Security

We prioritize your peace of mind. From carefully sourcing ingredients to maintaining the highest kitchen hygiene standards, our team works tirelessly to ensure food safety throughout your stay.

Environmental Conservation

Carbon Offsets

Our carbon offset accommodation plan empowers guests to make a positive impact. By participating, you can help neutralize an estimated 5 kg of CO₂ emissions per day, contributing to a more sustainable future.

J-Credits will be purchased by the hotel on your behalf.

Water Conservation

We implement eco-conscious practices such as minimizing plastic use, reducing detergent-based pollution, and using well and reclaimed water—about 300m³ per day—to reduce environmental burden.

To reduce plastic waste:

• Amenities like combs, razors, and hairbrushes have been eliminated.
• Toothbrushes are provided using biomass materials.
• Plastic straws have been discontinued, with paper straws available upon request.
• Plastic shopping bags are available for a small fee (¥3), with proceeds donated to local environmental causes.
