Sustainability in Our Daily Actions

Sustainability in Our Daily Actions

Environmental and climate protection, local integration of our activities, and everyone's well-being, all at highly competitive costs!

We continuously invest in providing our clients, ourselves, and our neighborhood with a healthy and pleasant environment.

Here are some concrete actions we have implemented in recent years:

  • The buildings have undergone a near-complete renovation that has significantly improved window insulation and reduced lighting needs.

  • Separate waste collection is now available on all floors, allowing everyone to easily participate in recycling used materials.

  • We manage to limit water consumption by installing economizers on all our taps.

  • Establishing a venue suitable for evening groups helps to preserve the neighborhood.

  • Our establishment financially supports the Genève roule association every year, which provides bicycles for free use in the city. Guests of the Geneva Hostel can of course take full advantage of this opportunity to explore the city on a particularly ecological means of transport.

  • A small solar power plant installed on the roof produces part of the hot water used in the building.

  • Since 2011, we have been methodically calculating our greenhouse gas emissions, which allows us to identify where we can optimally reduce them. For residual emissions, the same amount is offset by a project that provides biogas to small farmers in India, thanks to our financial support.

  • An increasingly significant portion (42% in 2014) of the cleaning products we use carry an eco-label.

We closely monitor numerous environmental, social, and economic indicators. An overview of the main trends is available below.
