The South Tyrol sustainability label is awarded to destinations and businesses that are particularly committed to ecological, social and economic sustainability. They have set themselves the task of reducing their ecological footprint, assuming social responsibility and strengthening the regional economy. The South Tyrol sustainability label is based on the criteria of the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC), which were developed to convey a standardised understanding of sustainable tourism.
Level 1 - These accommodations follow the path of sustainability by thinking future-orientated and setting visible signs in terms of resource consumption, food waste and waste avoidance.
Level 2 - The accommodation establishments with this label are on the right path to a sustainable future, which also includes the team and local producers. Socio-economic factors are added to the criteria for Level 1.
Level 3 - The highest level is also ‘GSTC-recognised’ and internationally recognised. Accommodation establishments with this label live sustainability as a holistic philosophy and fully fulfil all nine criteria with regard to ecological, social and cultural aspects.
What began in 2013 as the Vorarlberg Climate Neutrality Alliance developed over the years into turn to zero - a pioneering initiative that supported companies on their way to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and made a significant contribution to global climate targets.
For more than eleven years, the turn to zero community enabled numerous innovative climate protection projects and strengthened Vorarlberg as a pioneering region in climate protection. Together, we have shown what can be achieved through commitment and cooperation.
After these successful years, the turn to zero initiative will end on 31 December 2024.
