Sustainability that you can taste

Sustainable coffee breaks

For some, the coffee breaks are the most important part of an venue. It is important to us that our guests recharge their batteries in a healthy and balanced way with lots of organic ingredients and really enjoy networking during the breaks.

Organic certified ingredients

Organic food is not only good for the environment but also healthy. They contain more secondary plant substances, more flavours, and less water. To match the organic drinks, our coffee breaks are made from organic quality ingredients.

Organic drinks

Drinks that are organically grown are not only environmentally friendly, but also taste great. Voelkel's orange juice, apple juice as well as milk, coffee and tea are certified in accordance with the guidelines of the Organic AHV Regulation (DE-ÖKO-039).

100% green electricity

We have been sourcing all of our electricity from renewable energy sources for over 20 years. With our own photovoltaic systems, we also produce green electricity ourselves at the Umweltforum and the Tagungswerk.

Accessibility

Our aim is to design our locations in such a way that they are accessible to everyone independently and without assistance. That is why we have been certified in accordance with the Germany-wide "Travel for All" labeling system.
