Sustainability is very important, not only within our organisation, but also for our visitors and our green legacy.
This is what we are doing:
Using natural pesticides
85% of our vehicles are sustainably powered
At least 25% of our suppliers are local or regional
Bikes are available to all staff for internal travel around our site
The palace has a new central energy facility which allows us to generate sustainable power through heat and cold storage and a heat pump
All lighting at the palace uses LED bulbs
All toilets and taps have been replaced with new low-water-use models
We only purchase 100% green energy
Waste and raw materials are reused or recycled as much as possible
Sustainable palace
In 2025, Paleis Het Loo was certified with the BREEAM-NL In-Use certificate, receiving the label Excellent. BREEAM-NL In-Use provides verifiable proof of the sustainability performance of an existing building. It is an internationally recognized certification for sustainable buildings. This certificate highlights the commitment to environmentally friendly solutions. This is not only important for the organization itself, but also for visitors and for the sustainable preservation of heritage.
CC NL
CollectieCentrum Nederland (CC NL) opened in Amersfoort in 2021. Part of our collection is stored there. The facility is a collaboration involving Paleis Het Loo, the Rijksmuseum, the Dutch Open Air Museum and the Cultural Heritage Agency of the Netherlands. The design of the new building received a BREEAM-NL Outstanding label (5 stars – the highest score) for sustainability.
