We have been managing and running hotels since 2006. We started actively promoting sustainability in our hotels years ago with commitments such as using electricity from hydropower and our partnership with myclimate to create climate-neutral rooms. In 2022, we joined the Swisstainable programme and have committed to developing a sustainability concept for all our hotels and a sustainability training programme for our employees.
In an interview with Marco Meier, Managing Director of SV Hotel, he emphasises the increasing importance of sustainability in the hotel industry. The key issues are sustainability standards for buildings, efficient operations and sustainable materials for interiors and fittings.
We have been managing and running hotels since 2006. We started actively promoting sustainability in our hotels years ago with commitments such as using electricity from hydropower and our partnership with myclimate to create climate-neutral rooms. We have also invested a great deal in raising awareness among our guests and have, for example, already held several cooking courses on sustainable nutrition for our immediate neighbourhood. In future, we will continue to expand our sustainability activities: from the selection of sustainable devices and materials, to efficient building management and buildings that meet the highest possible sustainability standards.
When it comes to food and beverages, our hotels are already subject to the same sustainability requirements as our restaurants in community and public catering. As a Marriott International franchisee, our Marriott brand hotels (Courtyard, Renaissance, Residence Inn and Moxy) are already connected to Marriott’s Serve 360 sustainability platform.
With our own brand Stay KooooK, we have developed a concept that is fully in line with the concept of sustainable travel. We have already implemented a number of sustainability measures for our first Stay KooooK, which opened in Bern Wankdorf in September 2020. We are continuing to work on our sustainability concept to fulfil our responsibility towards the environment and our employees in all our hotels and to provide our guests with a sustainable travel experience. To underpin this, we joined the Swisstainable programme in 2022 and have committed to developing a sustainability concept for all our hotels and a sustainability training programme for our employees.
