Widder Vertikal Zusatz Black

Sustainability

Just off the world-renowned Bahnhofstrasse in the heart of Zurich’s historic Old Town, the Widder Hotel is a one of the most special and unique boutique hotels in Zurich and perhaps in all of Switzerland that dates back to the 12th century. The topic of sustainability is therefore of great importance to us.

For us at the Widder Hotel, it is all about taking into account and harmonizing the needs and concerns of people, the environment and the economy in equal measure.
Sustainability is a process - a long road that we will certainly take. Compliance with legal requirements is not enough for us; we want to set an example and exceed it. We summarize our efforts in our sustainability mission statement.

Get an overview of our measures in the areas of economic, social and environmental sustainability. After all, we want our next generations to be able to experience these unique places as well. 

  • Earthcheck

    The Widder Hotel has reached an important milestone through EarthCheck.

  • Plastic Neutral

    Thanks to a cooperation with CleanHub, The Living Circle is "plastic neutral." The hotels have systematically reduced single-use plastic. Where it is not substitutable, the single-use plastic is compensated through the cooperation with CleanHub.

    Responsible Hotels of Switzerland take responsibility. A company-specific philosophy of ecological and social sustainability is applied by each hotel. Guests can enjoy their stay with a clear conscience.

  • Swisstainable

    In Switzerland, the needs of guests, the local population and the environment have always been taken into account. This is an important concern for us.

  • Fundaziun Uccelin

    The Living Circle supports the Fundaziun Uccelin of Sarah and Andreas Caminada . We donate a voluntary contribution of 2 Swiss francs per menu in each of our fine dining restaurants to the independent foundation.

  • SapoCycle

    SapoCycle is a non-profit organisation that collects used soap from hotels and transforms it into life-saving products. The soaps are recycled by people with disabilities and then distributed to improve the hygiene of families in need.

The Living Circle – is a hand-picked group of first-class hotels and restaurants in incomparably beautiful locations, run by dedicated hosts. Rice, vegetables, fruit and a whole array of exquisite products – including wine, of course – is whisked fresh from our own farms directly to your table. That is how we define luxury. That is The Living Circle – luxury fed by nature.
