Energy Saving Measures

Mövenpick Hotel Zürich- Airport supports renewable energy and uses electricity sourced from 100% wind power provided by electricity supplier EWZ. In addition, the hotel holds regular ten-minute sustainability training sessions to educate staff about green practices specifically related to individual departments. For example, housekeeping staff are trained to close blinds and curtains in guest rooms during peak summer periods or when rooms are unoccupied. Simple steps such as these reinforce the importance of responsible actions individuals can take to save energy and reduce operational costs.

Food Sustainability

The hotel promotes the use of certified and local products to minimize impacts and support local businesses. 75% of certified products including coffee, grains, yogurt and cheese are delivered from within a 50km radius of the hotel. Furthermore, the hotel is part of the Too Good To Go initiative. Too Good To Go is a mobile application that connects customers to restaurants and stores that have an unsold food surplus. Tasty edible food and dishes that remain unsold at the end of the day are available at discounted prices to the public, saving leftover food from ending up in bins and going to landfill.
