Sustainability
We understand sustainability as a holistic commitment – to nature, to the regions we operate in, and to the people who work and stay with us. As one of Switzerland's leading hotel groups, it is part of our entrepreneurial thinking to actively contribute to environmental protection and a healthy social environment. Because only together can we shape a future worth living in.
As part of the «Cause We Care» initiative and «Swisstainable», we pursue a responsible approach to tourism. We combine climate protection, conscious use of resources and targeted projects to promote biodiversity and regional development. With each passing year, we drive new projects forward that serve nature and our shared future – because sustainability is not a destination you reach once, but a path you walk consistently.
Our commitment is structured around three pillars: ecological responsibility, social engagement and economic stability. They form the foundation of our strategy – for people, nature and region.
Our Partnerships
Sustainability is not a trend for us, but part of our daily commitment. We demonstrate this through targeted, long-standing partnerships and programmes:
«Cause we Care»
Together for Climate Protection and Sustainability
Together with our guests, we are committed to effective climate protection. For every person per night, a climate contribution of CHF 1 is automatically included. Sunstar doubles this contribution. Together, we support selected Swiss climate protection projects and additionally invest in our own sustainable initiatives.
Supporting
Climate Protection Projects
The Sunstar Climate Franc is invested in Swiss climate protection projects run by the «myclimate» foundation, as well as in local projects at the individual Sunstar Hotels in support of sustainability.
Swisstainable
Travelling Sustainably in Switzerland
As a certified «Swisstainable» partner, we are committed to responsible tourism that preserves the natural beauty of Switzerland. The programme of Switzerland Tourism covers seven key areas: mobility, water, nature conservation, air quality, nutrition and recycling – topics that inspire us every day.

Social Commitment
For us, sustainability means more than environmental protection.
We are committed to inclusion, equal opportunities and a strong sense of community – whether through our support of PluSport, the OK:GO initiative for barrier-free tourism or our partnership with AMIE Basel. Social commitment is an integral part of our corporate culture.
Our Projects
«Bienen Schweiz»
For Greater Biodiversity
Together with «Bienen Schweiz», we promote flowering areas that provide vital habitat for bees and other pollinators. In doing so, we make a concrete contribution to strengthening biodiversity and preserving the ecological balance – helping to protect our natural habitats.
«Uszit»
For Healthy Forests and Greater Awareness
Together with «Uszit», we are committed to the preservation and regeneration of forests. Through reforestation projects, we make a concrete contribution to protecting our natural habitats and raise awareness of the importance of healthy forests.
Climate-Optimised Forest Management in Graubünden
By deliberately refraining from timber use, CO₂ is stored long-term in the forests of the Prättigau/Davos region. The funds generated are specifically invested in strengthening resilient forests, promoting biodiversity and raising public awareness.
Agroforestry
Climate Protection Rooted in the Earth
Trees on fields and meadows – it sounds simple, but the impact is significant. This cross-border funding programme supports farms in Switzerland, Germany, Austria and Liechtenstein in establishing agroforestry systems that sequester CO₂, promote biodiversity and conserve water resources.
