DEEP RESPECT

As a modern hotel, we also look to the future. Taking responsibility for our environment is therefore an important aspect of our daily work. Here are just some of the measures we strictly adhere to.

SWISSTAINABLE

Swisstainable awards our commitment to sustainable Swiss tourism in the dimensions of society, economy and environment with level II - engaged. As an expression of our "New Hospitality" culture, we always take care to combine the needs of our guests, local partners and nature.

WASSER FÜR WASSER (WFW)

Under the “Water for Water” initiative, we avoid the unnecessary transport of branded water and rely on fresh, filtered tap water. Some of the proceeds raised go to water- and hygiene-specific vocational training projects in Zambia and Mozambique. Furthermore we are partner of WfW GREEN HOTEL.

MYCLIMATE „CAUSE WE CARE“

myclimate “Cause We Care” is the initiative for climate protection and sustainable tourism in Switzerland. Its commitment ranges from climate-neutral bookings and compensation of CO₂ emissions to local sustainability.

UNITED AGAINST WASTE

United Against Waste stands for the careful handling of food. At the HERMITAGE Lucerne, we have managed to reduce food waste by 36%.

Regional Products

We use regional products wherever we can. By doing so, we support local producers and suppliers, and keep transport routes and CO₂ emissions as low as possible.

Save the trees

At the HERMITAGE, we are committed to largely paperless internal and external communication. We also organise regular training sessions for our employees on various sustainability topics.
