We realize this ambition by making our new location Rialto Silo as sustainable as possible. Rialto VU Griffioen has been realized under the second highest level of Breeam Excellent and Rialto Silo will be realized under the very highest sustainability level Breeam Outstanding. This means that sustainability is considered in every phase of development and realization in all aspects of construction, installations, energy use, interior design, and operation. 

Rialto De Pijp is located in an old building on Ceintuurbaan in the Amsterdam Pijp. Nevertheless, Rialto has been working for over 15 years to make this location more sustainable where possible. For example, clock thermostats have been installed throughout the building, we manage energy use efficiently through a heat recovery unit, regular maintenance is performed on both the building and equipment to extend their lifespan, fixtures have been converted to LED lighting, waste is of course separated, and we work with local suppliers who organize their transport with small electric trucks.

Sustainability is also highly valued in our hospitality services, and we select our range of coffee, beer, and treats based on fair trade and organic products. Additionally, we use organic cleaning agents. Rialto has had an assessment conducted by the Groene Grachten with a positive outcome.

Moreover, our programming contributes to awareness around sustainability with special programs that focus on environmental themes.
