Xander Bueno de Mesquita is the founding father of Treating Life Well©, a concept built on the sweet spot between three primary ideas: Circularity, Place-Making and Hospitality. All three concepts redefine how human beings interact with the world, and how that interaction can produce positivity and energy, instead of waste and isolation. The QO hotel in Amsterdam is a living manifestation of Xander’s vision and concept. The QO is Europe’s most sustainable hotel, and its first LEED Platinum-certified Living Building. By aiming to close the loops of water, energy, CO2 and waste, Xander proved that respect for humans and respect for planet can go hand in hand. And that a better society begins with a connected community. In everything he does, Xander heralds his core values: Good Energy, Humble Food, Fresh Thinking, Beautiful People and Local Creativity. These core values support his work and secure his legacy. His goal is to spread the Treating Life Well mantra to every project, community and city that aims to make more human connections with more respect for the planet. He aims to help others create legacies of their own.
