Our commitment to the environment and sustainability

In October 2025, we had two reasons to celebrate: we were awarded both the Austrian Ecolabel and the EU Ecolabel, thereby sending a clear signal that we put sustainability into practice in our day-to-day hotel operations.

 

 

 

Our commitment to the environment and sustainability is evident in a number of areas, which we would like to briefly outline here:

Managing resources responsibly & conserving them

For us, sustainability begins right at the purchasing stage: by carefully selecting our partners and products, we avoid waste from the outset. Any waste that is nevertheless produced is carefully sorted and recycled in an environmentally friendly manner. We also prioritise reuse over disposal – for example, by refurbishing old furniture and actively incorporating materials from existing stock into our interiors.

Cleanliness & Responsibility

We clean with particular care, using eco-friendly products and sparing amounts. Most of our bed linen and table linen is laundered at an Austrian facility with environmental certification.

We also put the principle of sustainability into practice in the way we furnish our rooms: instead of a minibar, we offer a well-stocked self-service night bar in our fireplace lounge. However, if you would prefer a fridge, one is available in some rooms on request.

Sustainable enjoyment & relaxation

When it comes to our food, we consciously prioritise regional, seasonal and organic produce.
Our leisure and relaxation packages are also designed with nature and the environment in mind, so that your break benefits not only you but also the environment.

Our own solar panel system covers around 10 per cent of our electricity needs, and energy-efficient air-conditioning units can be controlled individually and as required – for noticeable comfort with lower energy consumption.

Green Mobility

We’d also like to encourage you to ‘travel green’: anyone travelling by public transport will receive a small welcome gift from us as a token of our appreciation.

We also warmly welcome e-mobility: four 11 kW charging points are available free of charge for our overnight guests, and there is also an e-bike charging point for anyone who would like to explore the Vienna Woods on the numerous cycle paths.

 

Our commitment to an inclusive workplace

As well as putting sustainability into practice for the sake of the environment, we at the At the Park Hotel are equally committed to creating a workplace where our staff feel at home, can contribute and develop their skills.

After one and a half years, we were able to successfully complete our project to create an inclusive and fair workplace in collaboration with FairPlus.

The project focused on issues such as equality, respectful intergenerational cooperation and open communication at all levels.

We launched the first phase of the project together with FairPlus back in early 2025. Under the expert guidance of Claudia Glawischnig Hejtmanek, we used questionnaires and one-to-one interviews to gauge the general atmosphere within the company and our employees’ perceived levels of satisfaction. The aim was to listen carefully: what issues are on our team’s minds? Where is there a need for support? And where can we, as an employer, improve further?

Following a comprehensive evaluation phase, specific areas were identified where additional support was desired. Building on this, seminars and one-to-one discussions with experts were offered, which our staff were keen to take part in.

In July 2025, we received a final report setting out measures and proposals for further development. Many of these suggestions have already been actively integrated into our day-to-day work. This was followed in early 2026 by a further round of discussions to reassess staff satisfaction and reflect on the project’s progress.

The event concluded with a joint workshop involving representatives from various departments. During the workshop, existing processes were discussed, experiences were shared, and new measures were developed collaboratively as a team.

For us, one thing is clear: a fair and inclusive workplace is not created through individual measures, but through continuous listening, collaborative shaping and respectful interaction. We are consciously continuing along this path at the At the Park Hotel.
