Greenstyle

Environmentally conscious

Conscious and responsible use of resources is important to us. That is why we pay particular attention at Riders Hotel to constantly developing our Greenstyle vision and expanding its potential.

Member of Responsible Hotels of Switzerland

Solar energy: photovoltaics on the roof

100% of the total energy consumption is covered with renewable energy. We obtain 10% (25,000 kWh) through solar energy from the roof, and the rest with hydroelectric power from Switzerland. The Weisse Arena Group has set itself the goal of being CO2-neutral by 2030, using no more fossil fuels.

Our goal is Zero Waste

Our friends from Miro Specialty Coffee - Fresh Roasted - Single Origin - now supply us only with reusable containers. Thus, no waste is generated during coffee delivery.

Kitro Food Waste

We measure foodwaste waste in order to continuously improve and thus produce less waste.

Ecological detergents

We rely on sustainable cleaning based on effective microorganisms - against dirt and for a life-friendly microclimate. Together with gastronomy professionals, we have developed an efficient product line from 100% renewable raw materials and avoid artificially produced chemicals and substances. Manufactured in Zurich Wädenswil.

Wine

We have only wines in our assortment, which are marked with the label "Vinatur". Vinatur - the Smith&Smith label stands for sustainable wines and minimal intervention.

Vegetarian cuisine

In the Riders Restaurant we serve exclusively vegetarian menus made from fresh, regional ingredients in season.

Greenstyle levy: environmental fringe

Every guest can voluntarily donate CHF 1 per night to our "Greenstyle Fund" when booking. From this fund, 50% goes to the "Greenstyle Foundation", which promotes sustainability projects throughout the region, and 50% is invested directly in environmental projects of the hotel and restaurant businesses with double the value.

Recycling stations

We provide our guests with recycling stations on each floor. Thus, each:r has the opportunity to make his contribution to the environment.

Lighting

We use only energy efficient lighting - 100% LED.

Repair service for your clothes

At the Clothes Repair Service, a total of 307 items of clothing were given a second or third life last winter. According to the motto "repair instead of throwing away", the two seamstresses Tanja and Muna repaired clothes, jeans, bags and much more during around 300 hours. The service is free of charge and is sponsored by the Greenstyle Foundation LAAX.

Room cleaning

Our guests can decide for themselves whether to clean the room and change the bed linen.

The Greenstyle Book

Since 2010, Greenstyle has stood for the sustainability concept of the Weissen Arena Group, to which Riders Hotel also belongs. Since then, numerous larger and smaller measures in the area of sustainability have been implemented every year. The ten-year Greenstyle anniversary provided the impetus for the new Greenstyle book "How to run a sustainable alpine destination" to share experiences and visions. It also includes numerous measures and projects that have been implemented at Riders Hotel .
