Sustainability at Falkensteiner

Together for a sustainable future

Sustainability is a core part of our corporate strategy and our understanding of hospitality. At all our locations, we work on the same ecological focus areas: energy, water, biodiversity, waste and resources – as well as our role as host, employer and economic partner to the regions we operate in. We publish our progress in these areas – including our group-wide greenhouse gas balance – every year in the FMTG Sustainability Report (see below). How each property implements these focus areas depends individually on its location, building and region.

Austrian Ecolabel & EU Ecolabel

Falkensteiner Hotel Schladming is certified with the Austrian Ecolabel UZ 200 (accommodation and catering establishments) and the EU Ecolabel (AT/051/280). The entire hotel operation was audited and certified – from energy and water to waste, procurement and the kitchen.

Environment, water & resource efficiency

  • 100% certified green electricity for the hotel's entire electricity needs
  • Photovoltaic system on the hotel roof for self-generated electricity
  • Heating via a regional district heating network
  • LED lighting in all rooms
  • Flow-limited fittings
  • Outdoor areas planted with drought-tolerant vegetation to reduce irrigation needs
  • Reduction of single-use products in the kitchen and restaurant

Handling of food

  • Targeted measures to reduce food waste through forward-looking planning and inventory management
  • Fermentation for further processing and preservation of food
  • Regular training for the kitchen team on inventory management and storage

Social impact & regional value creation

As an employer and client, we are rooted in the Schladming-Dachstein region – with the goal of strengthening local value creation:

  • Purchase of food and beverages preferentially from businesses in Styria
  • Cooperation with producers and craft businesses from the Enns Valley
  • Regular staff training on energy, water and waste in daily operations

Falkensteiner Hotel Schladming is connected to the public transport network; Schladming train station is just a few minutes' walk away. In addition, we offer:

  • Information and support in organising individual transfers
  • E-charging stations for guests with electric vehicles

Transparency & Reporting

Transparent communication about what has been achieved so far is important to us. You can find out more about the group-wide ESG strategy of the Falkensteiner Michaeler Tourism Group (FMTG) and specific measures in our current FMTG Sustainability Report at https://www.fmtg.com/en/responsibility/
