Sustainable action

We are taking part in myclimate “Cause We Care”, an initiative for climate protection and sustainable tourism in Switzerland. It brings together companies from the tourism industry, associations and private individuals who are actively committed to climate protection.

Sustainable action

With myclimate “Cause We Care”, we offer events and overnight stays that also contribute to a climate protection project. For us, this is the logical consequence of our activities: we actively combat food waste, have doubled the number of charging stations for electric cars and offer plastic-free hotel rooms. Wherever possible, we use LED bulbs, motion sensors and timers to consume as little energy as possible.

We do our utmost to avoid and reduce our own emissions. But we're also convinced that voluntary financial support for climate protection remains an important component of achieving global climate protection goals.

How it works

Here's how it works:

Guests and customers make a small voluntary contribution to sustainability and climate protection (1% of the net invoice amount and CHF 2.00 per person per night).
We double this and put all the money into our own myclimate “Cause We Care” sustainability fund.
The fund is used to support local and global sustainability and climate protection measures to offset the unavoidable emissions we are currently causing.

Our sustainability projects

Our in-house sustainability projects

We are planning to install new cooling units. This should enable us to reduce our CO2 consumption by around 50 tonnes per year. We are using the energy as efficiently as possible without sacrificing guest comfort. The new cooling machines have many advantages: we can use their waste heat for heating at the same time. And when they are not cooling, we use them as heat pumps. In addition, we are installing new heat storage tanks that will enable us to store unused heat better and for longer.

Our climate protection projects at "Cause We Care"

We have now also decided to support a Swiss project with the portion of the Cause We Care fund that we donate to myclimate. Because we also want to act regionally. We support the following projects:

Beatenberg-Habkern natural forest reserve in the canton of Bern

The 529 hectares of forest in the natural forest reserve are no longer used for forestry. This will enable the forest to better fulfil its potential as a carbon store in the future.

  • It can remove more CO2 from the atmosphere.
  • It promotes biodiversity by providing an undisturbed habitat for animals and plants.
  • It helps to filter pollutants from the soil and air.

Clean drinking water for schools and households in Uganda

New technologies for poorer households and schools to purify drinking water - we support this project. Clean water is a very valuable commodity and helps on many levels:

  • People, including many children, who no longer suffer from water-related diarrhoea.
  • The children fall ill less and can go to school regularly.
  • The children also no longer have to spend hours collecting firewood, but can use their time more sensibly.
  • The installed water filters save charcoal and firewood for boiling the water.
