responsibility of house of culture

The House of Culture is committed to responsibility in all its operations, which makes us a sustainable and reliable partner.

Environment and energy efficiency

We systematically minimize water and electricity consumption across all facilities.

Prioritize environmentally friendly materials and reduce the use of disposable products.
Restore original furniture before acquiring new pieces to support a sustainable circular economy that respects the house's valuable history.
Responsibility extends throughout the entire supply chain, and we require responsible behavior from subcontractors.

Almost all our facilities are accessible, including multiple elevators, accessible entrances, disabled toilets, wheelchair ramps, and wheelchair lifts.
Although the KULT club is currently inaccessible due to the protection decision, we have recently committed significant investment to improve its accessibility.
