Our Sustainability Measures: In Harmony with Nature
At CASCADA Hotel and BOLERO Restaurante, we stand for more than just first-class service and exquisite gastronomy. Our motto – PASSION, WARMTH & MINDFULNESS – also forms the basis for our commitment to environmental and sustainability issues. Here is what it means for you and for us:
Already implemented sustainability measures
- Energy Saving Measures: Our heating and cooling supply is provided by heat recovery from the wastewater of Hirschmattstrasse, supported by EWL green electricity.
- Social Responsibility: We focus on employee development and training, equality, pay equity, and transparent communication of business figures.
- Food Waste Management: A structured concept and monitoring to avoid food waste is standard for us.
- Local and Spanish Product Procurement: Whenever possible, we source our products from Switzerland or Spain.
- Sustainable Mobility: With an electric hotel bus and four electric vehicle charging stations, we reduce our ecological footprint.
- LED Lighting: We use 100% LED lighting throughout the company.
- Electronic Menus: To reduce paper waste, we use electronic menus.
- Environmentally Friendly Products: We use biodegradable cleaning chemicals and hygiene products.
- Employee Satisfaction: Regular surveys and attractive benefits, fair compensation, and training opportunities aim to sustainably ensure the satisfaction and commitment of our team.
- Water Concept: With our AQUAPULERO system, we offer filtered, chilled water with and without carbonation at BOLERO Restaurante, reducing transport routes and single-use packaging.
- Abandonment of Single-Use Bottles: In the hotel rooms, we replace traditional water bottles with reusable glass bottles for our guests, significantly minimizing PET and glass waste.
- Green Button: Guests can personalize or cancel room cleaning at the touch of a button – this measurably reduces laundry and cleaning product consumption.
Planned measures by 2028
- Window Renewal: All windows in the hotel rooms will be renewed to increase energy efficiency.
- Solar Panels: We plan to install solar panels for hot water generation.
- Waterfall Hotel Concept: We promote the awareness of the most beautiful Swiss waterfalls by expanding our "Waterfall Hotel" concept.
