General manager
Martijn Koelman
“As the General Manager of Mercure Antwerp City Center Hotel, I am proud to serve as an ambassador for the Made Blue Foundation. My commitment to this cause began when I reached out to Made Blue in search of a better solution for serving water to our guests across various settings – in meetings, the bar and restaurant, and guest rooms.”
A flourishing
Collaboration
“Over the past few months, our collaboration has flourished, leading to the installation of additional water stations throughout the hotel and distinct refill stations in the lobby for our guests to use. This initiative not only promotes sustainability but also enhances our guests’ experience by providing easy access to clean, filtered water.”

Convenience combined with
Eco-friendly practices
“One of the most innovative aspects of our partnership has been designing a system that allows us to hand out reusable water bottles to guests who do not carry one of their own. These bottles can be returned at the end of their stay or taken home at a minimal cost, ensuring convenience while encouraging eco-friendly practices.
My mission extends beyond our hotel. I am dedicated to introducing Made Blue Foundation as the water charity of choice to all other hotels within our group. By working together, we can serve and save water in the most impactful way, demonstrating our collective commitment to sustainability and corporate social responsibility.”
Tangible difference in
Water conservation
“Supporting the Made Blue Foundation aligns perfectly with our values and has been incredibly rewarding. It enables us to make a tangible difference in water conservation while providing our guests with a meaningful way to contribute to this vital cause. I look forward to continuing this journey and inspiring others within our group to join us in making a positive impact on the world, one drop at a time.”
Thank you, Martijn, for your kind words and your support of the Made Blue Foundation. We look forward to creating even more impact together!
