Sustainability

 
 

Our responsibility -
acting today, to help shape the future

ibex Fairstay

Ibex fairstay accompanies and certifies hotel and lodging companies on their way to a sustainable business management. The holistic support includes the five dimensions management, ecology, regionalism, social affairs and finances. A catalogue of measures as well as supported calculations and analyses are used to identify useful opportunities for improvement.


Quality of management 
Sustainability must be consciously anchored in the management. The internal structures and processes are adapted accordingly: Staff management, internal organisation, controlling, guest orientation, innovation. 


Ecology - careful use of resources 
The careful handling of resources is dear to our hearts. For this reason, we pay attention to environmental compatibility and savings opportunities in energy, water, waste, purchasing, furnishings and the environment. 


Regionality - regional anchoring and authenticity
Our offer is authentic and has a close connection to the region and its population, culture and landscape. The added value should remain in the region as far as possible and strengthen it. In this way, we create jobs, support customs, reduce transport distances and inspire people with enthusiasm for regional specialities and features.


Social - maintaining the social balance
Guests and employees should feel comfortable. We make sure that the general conditions are right for everyone: Consideration of guest wishes, fair and supportive working conditions for employees, inclusion of suppliers, harmony with the population, accessibility. 


Finances and performance 

Only an economically healthy company can work sustainably and secure jobs. That is why we

place great emphasis on profitability, performance, cost control, investments, risk

management as well as guest and employee satisfaction.

In light of the challenges currently facing our world, we recognise our responsibility to act. We must take action today to secure the future.

100% ELECTRICITY FROM HYDROPOWER - ECOLOGY

The Company Enerprice confirms that from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2024, the Central Plaza Hotel will cover 100% of its electricity consumption with hydroelectric power. Purchasing energy from renewable sources promotes sustainable power generation.


 
 

HEATING AND COOLING - ECOLOGY

In an unlikely event that the generated energy is insufficient, the ETH district heating network will be used in order to supplement the supply. To protect the environment, we utilize a centrally controlled ventilation system to air-condition your room. To maintain optimal cooling conditions, we advise ventilating the room in the early morning and late evening hours. During the day, it is advisable to avoid direct sunlight, which is why we provide curtains and window blinds in midsummer.


DRINK & DONATE - SOCIAL

The organization is a non-profit association that advocates the consumption of tap water and the donation of drinking water. We are dedicated to the sustainable consumption of our exceptional tap water, rather than relying on branded water transported by road.


 
 

ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY TRAVELING - ECOLOGY

Our prime location in the heart of Zurich offers excellent connections to the public transport network. The "Central" streetcar stop is right on our doorstep, an excellent transportation hub with a total of seven streetcar and two bus lines.


Zurich's world-famous main railway station is also just 200 meters away. All destinations in Switzerland and most major European cities are easily accessible from the main station. The central location and excellent public transport connections allow you to plan your travel itinerary flexibly, enabling you to explore the region's diverse attractions and experience the rich culture of Europe.


FOODWAST - ECOLOGY

We sensitize our team to the issue of food waste. Regular communication between service and kitchen enables us to respond quickly to guest requests. We manage demand by actively selling and offering a follow-up service. Guests can take leftovers with them in a food box to minimize food waste.

REGIONAL PRODUCTS - regional anchoring and authenticity

Swiss food is very important to us. That is why we attach great importance to a balanced approach to purchasing and are increasingly focusing on Swiss products. We are convinced that this guarantees short transportation routes, protects the environment, raises awareness of regional products and supports the local economy and jobs in our region. Long-term partnerships with our suppliers are particularly important to us.


Furthermore, more than half of the breakfast products come from Zurich and the surrounding area.


ENERGY AGENCY ENWA - MANAGEMENT

By participating in the program of the Energy Agency for Industry, we are committed to reducing CO2 emissions and optimizing energy efficiency. The target agreement is recognized by the federal government, cantons and business partners.
