sustainability

What exactly is sustainability?

Society, environment and economy in balance

Sustainability refers to the ability to meet current needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It aims to achieve a balance between environmental protection, social justice and economic development in order to ensure long-term and lasting solutions to challenges such as climate change, resource scarcity and the preservation of quality of life.

"Sustainability is not only environmental protection, but also economic growth and social integration. These elements must be harmonized."

~ Martina Heim ~

Sustainable events

We not only want to encourage sustainable action but also lead by example.
Sustainability therefore also plays a major role in the planning and implementation of our events.
We are determined to continue and steadily expand our commitment in this direction.

GREEN EVENT Tirol basic

Among other things, the following measures are implemented:

  • We only print the most essential documents and only use recycled paper or chlorine-free bleached paper (TCF) for our printed materials.
  • We deliberately do without give-away bags with flyers and notebooks in order to save paper.
  • We collect name badges after the event.
  • Our catering meets sustainable criteria such as regionality and seasonality.
  • The conference center can be reached on foot or by public transport.
  • We want to avoid waste and encourage you to do the same. Appropriate bins will be available at the event for the separate disposal of unavoidable waste.

Events awarded as GREEN EVENT Tirol basic so far:

Tirol CleanUp Days

The Tirol CleanUp Days are another event with which we want to make a very concrete contribution to preserving our unique environment.
The best thing is: everyone can take part!
We have been a proud partner of PATRON's Plasticfree Peaks campaign since 2022. Once a year, people of all ages come together here in the Tiroler Zugspitzarena to free our beloved nature from waste and preserve its beauty and recreational value for our and future generations.

Respectful behavior in nature

Rules for respectful treatment of nature and wild animals

Here are a few things you can do on your excursion into nature to keep it as beautiful as it is now.

How do I behave correctly?
  • Looking for new paths is good, but not in nature. It's much better to walk on the paths we maintain anyway.
  • Our wild animals find enough to eat in the woods, so you can enjoy your snack all to yourself.
  • Take only memories with you and leave nothing but footprints Our wildlife will thank you if you also dispose of any garbage lying around.
  • Let nature dictate the sound - silence can be so sonorous 🎵 Our wild offspring urgently needs their beauty sleep. 🦌
  • Please keep your furry friend on a lead during the breeding season.
  • Please do not disturb our alpine animals during their important work as professional lawn mowers. Admire their fluffy grass management from afar! #donttouch🐄thanks!
  • Wildlife quiet zones are reserved for wildlife, you wouldn't want strangers in your living room.
  • If you are interested in the local game, there's the possibility to do a wildlife observation in Namlos . You will find the

    respective blog article here.

  • Bivi: Save yourself the night on the hard ground and enjoy a soft hotel bed instead.

 

Compensatory measures & nature conservation

Bush clearing Rossmoos

In summer 2024, we carried out scrub clearance measures of conifers on an area of 3.4 hectares in the Rossmoos moor conservation area. This was carried out as a compensatory measure for the construction of a single trail.
Tourism development that takes place in balance and harmony with nature is our top priority.

Protected areas

The Tiroler Zugspitz Arena is also home to very valuable protected areas, which make a valuable contribution to preserving the local flora and fauna.

Projects & Cooperation

Together for our future.
We rely on numerous collaborations, projects and valuable partnerships to act sustainably and make a concrete contribution to our environment and our future together with our partners.

Energy community EEG Zugspitze eGen

The municipality of Lermoos, Raiffeisenbank Ehrwald-Lermoos-Biberwier eGen, Peter Wörz Installations GmbH, Systech-solution GmbH and the Tiroler Zugspitz Arena have founded the energy community "EEG Zugspitze eGen".
