Sustainability
In 2015, the international community adopted the 2030 Agenda, setting 17 global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for socially, economically and ecologically sustainable development. The agenda is a roadmap for the future that will enable people around the world to live in dignity while at the same time preserving the natural foundations of life in the long term.
Hosta Hotelmanagement GmbH’s primary goal is to achieve more sustainable operations. This includes minimizing energy consumption and waste, promoting recycling practices and integrating environmentally friendly/energy efficient technologies. We recognize that protecting the environment and conserving natural resources are essential to safeguarding people’s livelihoods. Through sustainable use and the protection of biodiversity, we strive to preserve the ecological integrity of our planet and mitigate climate change. At the same time, we are committed to social justice by respecting and promoting the rights and needs of all people.
An inclusive society in which opportunities and resources are distributed fairly forms the basis for sustainable coexistence.
We believe that the power of change lies with each individual. Regular training courses are
offered to raise awareness of sustainable practices. Employees are encouraged to contribute their ideas and suggestions.
