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.

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.

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.

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

Species protection in Tyrol plays a central role in preserving the region's unique natural environment. Targeted measures to protect endangered species and their habitats promote biological diversity. Tyrol focuses on preventive protection strategies, such as establishing nature reserves and maintaining valuable ecosystems, in order to preserve its natural heritage in the long term.

Many animal and plant species are facing major challenges today – whether due to climate change, loss of habitat or human intervention. The Red List helps to keep track of this and shows which species are particularly endangered. It is an important step towards developing protective measures and preserving our natural environment.

Here you can find the Red Lists from the Federal Environment Agency.

In Tyrol, the Red List of Ferns and Flowering Plants of North and East Tyrol documents the diversity of native plant species. It provides an overview of the distribution and conservation status of the flora and helps to protect endangered species.

Biotope mapping provides information about the habitats of endangered species and supplies important data for their protection. Every municipality in the Tiroler Zugspitz Arena has its own biotope map. These can be viewed here in the Tyrolean Spatial Information System under Nature Conservation.

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

In the summer of 2024, we carried out scrub clearance measures on coniferous trees in the Rossmoos moorland conservation area, covering an area of 3.4 hectares. This was done as a compensatory measure for the construction of a single trail. Tourist development that is in balance and harmony with nature is our top priority.

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.
