Sustainability
Sustainability is an investment in our future
GreenSign
The responsibility starts with us
There is hardly any other industry where you are as close to people as in the hotel industry.
At the Parkhotel Engelsburg, we give our guests much more than just a roof over their heads – we create a temporary home. For the time that our guests stay in our Engelsburg, they live in our world, surrounded by our ideas, concepts and what we call our values. That is why it is so important for us to make this space as liveable as possible. And that doesn’t just mean making it beautiful and comfortable on the inside. For us, it goes much further: our responsibility for sustainability.
That’s why we have a strong partner at our side in GreenSign: we have been GrennSign certified since December 2023.
Sustainability is not a short-distance run, but a marathon. We continue to work on becoming more sustainable and environmentally friendly on a daily basis. Many small contributions add up to one big one in the end: the preservation of our planet and our health.
We have already achieved a lot and want to achieve even more in the future. You can find details in our sustainability report.
Plant a Tree
To actively combat climate change, we plant trees with just one “click”, in countries such as Thailand, Ghana or in the Philippines. We create habitat for endangered species and jobs.
“We all have just one planet, and it’s worth taking care of.”
Environmental programme
“It was a lot of fun for us eco-angels to go through the entire Engelsburg together. Through ÖKOPROFIT we got a different perspective on environmental friendliness and sustainability of our business. We have learnt a lot and continue to learn!”
Environmental chronicle – measures

E-mobility in the hotel
In order to make the journey to the Parkhotel Engelsburg climate-neutral and as environmentally friendly as possible, we offer the possibility to charge your electric vehicles at the charging station at the hotel! Here, up to two electric cars can be charged at the same time.
Another step towards sustainable travel!
