In a world where sustainability is increasingly becoming a matter of course, many people immediately know how to name some trendy catering establishments that turn out oat milk, kombucha and vegan dishes. For some it is a trend, for others a regulatory obligation. But at Kasteelhoeve Wange, sustainability is not a buzzword or an imposed norm. It is ingrained in the DNA of their business.
A vision avant la lettre
When Philip and Klara founded Kasteelhoeve Wange 15 years ago, they made choices that were revolutionary at the time, especially in the hospitality sector. Sustainability was applied not only to the menu, but throughout every decision: from the choice of materials and partners to the techniques used and the concept offered. This thorough approach earned the castle farm national and international recognition in the form of prestigious sustainability awards.
Philip and Klara summarise their vision: ‘Sustainability and ecology are not hypes, but the core of who we are. Nature is number one for us and that remains the benchmark for every decision.’
Concrete actions, big impact
Kasteelhoeve Wange’s commitment to sustainability translates into numerous initiatives:
Own kitchen garden: The chef works daily with the freshest vegetables from his own garden. While this is not a cheap choice, it ensures a unique quality and taste experience.
Increasing biodiversity: By planting trees and hedges and restoring a historic watercourse, the castle farm creates a haven for animals and plants that find less and less space elsewhere in Flanders.
Sustainable mobility: Visitors are encouraged to carpool, use public transport or charge their electric cars at the farmstead’s charging stations.
Renovate with vision: Kasteelhoeve Wange’s future plans include renovations with a focus on the most sustainable techniques and materials.
More than a Christmas present: invest in experience
Kasteelhoeve Wange calls on companies to look beyond classic Christmas gifts. An umbrella, coffee bag or gadget often quickly disappear into oblivion or – worse – into the rubbish heap. Why not invest in an experience that stays with you?
A teambuilding, seminar or multi-day event at the castle farm not only offers an unforgettable experience, but also shows that sustainability is more than a marketing term. It shows that ecology and responsibility are fundamental values, both within the company and in its choices.
