- Sustainable entrepreneurship
At TopParken, we strive to find the perfect balance between people, nature and the environment every day. Both at our holiday parks and from the head office. For example, our holiday parks are aimed at causing as little inconvenience to nature as possible. We are continuously working on reducing the environmental impact and increasing the sustainability of our company. Sustainability is reflected in all our business processes, services and products.
We are happy to make a positive contribution to society. For example, by collaborating with social workplaces and supporting various charities and local (sports) associations.

Sustainability at our holiday parks
At our holiday parks, sustainability is reflected in the processes, services and products. From sustainable holiday homes that don't use gas, to smaller adjustments such as separating waste, the use of electric golf carts and our FairTrade bedding. Our commitment and the degree of sustainability in our work processes, services and products has been recognized by the Green Key quality mark at a number of our holiday parks, and we are proud of that.
Green Key
Green Key is the largest sustainability label for the tourism and recreational sector in the Netherlands. The quality mark is awarded to organizations that consider sustainability important and implement this in all their business processes, without their guests compromising on comfort or quality. This confirms that, at the holiday parks below, we take an extra step compared to what the normal laws and regulations require.

We, of course, remain committed to making our work processes more sustainable at all our holiday parks.

Initiative highlighted: PET and CANMan at TopParken ⤵️
At all our vacation parks, guests can hand in their plastic bottles and cans. That way, they help recycle the material AND donate the deposit to a good cause, the Plastic Soup Foundation. Handing in the bottles and cans is very easy; they can be thrown into special trash cans called PET and CANMan. Subsequently, in cooperation with Statiegeld Nederland, it is ensured that the cans and bottles are returned, and the deposit is donated to the Plastic Soup Foundation.
Partners
Sustainability plays an important role in our partnerships. You will find a selection of our partnerships below.
Blycolin
Blycolin
Blycolin supplies top quality linen, which is produced 100% organically and Fairtrade. The linen has international labels such as GOTS and the Fairtrade (Max Havelaar quality mark). As a result, we not only offer optimal sleeping comfort, but we also contribute to a better world for people, nature, and the environment.
Douwe Egberts
Douwe Egberts
Jacob Douwe Egberts (JDE) supplies the coffee machines for our holiday homes. In 2021, all our holiday homes will be equipped with a JDE coffee machine for making coffee and obtaining hot water. Where there were previously three household appliances, there is now one coffee machine. This way, we work together on a sustainable future, we offer better quality coffee, and we improve ease of use for our guests.
Would you like to cooperate with TopParken too? If so, contact us free of commitment!
Sustainable products
We started building sustainable holiday homes a few years ago. These holiday homes were built without natural gas to reduce CO2 emissions and are heated electrically, also known as 'electric homes'.
Sustainability from headquarters
