Sustainability holistically & strategically
A holistic approach to developing and implementing a sustainability strategy that covers all core areas – from resource efficiency and climate protection to social responsibility and economic viability. We support companies in developing customized and practical strategies that ensure sustainable success.
The first step toward successful sustainable operations is developing an effective sustainability management system. Working closely with your team, we analyze your goals, capabilities, and operational circumstances to design a system that not only meets your specific needs but also complies with international standards such as the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the GSTC criteria, or the requirements of ISO 14001.
Based on the analysis and the jointly defined goals, we develop a customized sustainability strategy for your company. This strategy forms the foundation for concrete, measurable, and achievable measures in areas such as energy efficiency, resource conservation, waste prevention, and social responsibility. We define clear responsibilities, timelines, and relevant key performance indicators (KPIs) to make progress transparent and enable continuous improvement. Our goal is to embed sustainability as an integral part of your corporate culture and provide you with a practical roadmap for credible and effective implementation.

More and more travelers prefer environmentally friendly and socially responsible options. According to a 2023 Booking.com survey, 76% of travelers say they want to travel more sustainably. An NMS helps companies meet this growing demand and differentiate themselves from the competition.
The pressure to comply with international sustainability standards such as the SDGs, GSTC criteria, or ISO 14001 is increasing. In many regions around the world, governments and industry associations are already implementing stricter regulations and guidelines. A comprehensive sustainability management system ensures that companies adhere to these standards and thus avoid legal risks.
Tourism plays a significant role in achieving the global sustainability goals. The industry contributes up to 8% of global CO₂ emissions, reinforcing the need to integrate sustainable practices to reduce the environmental footprint. An NMS helps achieve measurable progress that contributes to achieving these global goals.
Sustainability isn’t just a trend, it’s a long-term responsibility. Companies that implement a comprehensive sustainability management system enhance their reputation and build trust with their customers, partners, and investors. This strengthens brand loyalty and guest loyalty.
