sustainability

Sustainability - more than just a slogan!

The entire tourism and hotel industry has a major influence on climate change. It's not just transport that has an impact, but also the demands on hotels and the tourist infrastructure are putting an increasing burden on the environment. So it is our responsibility! At sylc. sustainability is more than just a buzzword – it is an integral part of our corporate philosophy. From energy-efficient lighting and daylight use to water conservation and waste management to environmentally friendly products and optional housekeeping, we are actively committed to protecting the environment and offer our guests numerous opportunities to do the same.

At sylc. we rely on both energy-efficient LED lighting and the optimal use of daylight. Around 80% of our lighting is LED, and motion detectors in public areas ensure reduced energy consumption. In addition, floor-to-ceiling windows in our rooms promote the use of natural light. This way you can leave the light switch untouched for as long as possible.

Using LED lighting is not only cost effective but also environmentally friendly as they use up to 70% less electricity than traditional halogen bulbs. And thanks to our motion detectors, the light is only on when it is needed! This is an important step towards a more sustainable and responsible use of our resources.

At sylc. we place great importance to the responsible use of resources and the use of sustainable products. Water flow limiters and energy-saving electrical appliances are installed in our apartments to minimize water and electricity consumption. In addition, we only use environmentally friendly care and cleaning products.

When selecting our furnishings and equipment, we rely on regional products and promote the upcycling of materials and clothing. In this way, we not only create a unique ambience, but also contribute to reducing the ecological footprint.

WASTE MANAGEMENT & ROOM CLEANING

At sylc. we rely on consistent waste management, which focuses on waste separation and recycling. This allows us to use resources efficiently and minimize environmental impact. On each floor you will find one of our “trash rooms” where you can separate and throw away your garbage yourself outside of cleaning days.

Our room cleaning takes place every 7 days to make your stay quieter and to reduce the use of cleaning products and water consumption. We also offer our guests the opportunity to stop or reduce room cleaning and linen changes. Through this optional service, we not only save water and energy, but also give our guests the opportunity to actively participate in environmental protection.

Since 2014, the Greensign program has been THE award for sustainable action, social responsibility and constant optimization. We are now also part of it and are really proud!

The five-stage certification system not only checks the actual state of sustainability, but also shows the way to continuous improvement and further development of one's own sustainability performance and is based on internationally recognized standards.

Since June 2022, the GreenSign hotel certification has also been globally accredited by the Global Sustainable Tourism Council.

We thank you for your support on our path to a more sustainable future!
