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 & Spa Carinzia is certified with the Austrian Ecolabel UZ 200 (accommodation and catering establishments) and the EU Ecolabel (AT/051/283). The entire hotel operation was audited and certified – from energy and water to waste, procurement and the kitchen.
