Sustainability

Sustainability and environmental protection are core values at the Grand Hotel des Bains Kempinski St. Moritz. Our commitment to a greener future is evident in a wide range of initiatives to conserve resources and protect the environment. You can read about Kempinski's broader ESG approach here.

Waste and Recycling

Recycling bins are available throughout the hotel, enabling guests and staff to separate waste for recycling. We are working towards eliminating single-use plastics and have replaced many items, such as bottles, stirrers and straws, with sustainable alternatives. For instance, we use refillable dispensers for hygiene products. While we acknowledge that some plastic usage remains, such as in-room bins and departure bottled water, we are actively working on becoming a plastic-free hotel.

Water Conservation

All our toilets and showers are equipped with water-saving technology to minimise water usage. Guests are encouraged to opt out of daily room cleaning and to reuse towels, further reducing water consumption. We have introduced water coolers and dispensers to replace single-use plastic bottles, although this is not yet implemented in all areas.

Energy and Greenhouse Gases

Our energy supply includes a significant proportion of renewable resources. The use of energy-efficient LED lighting and double-glazed windows helps reduce energy consumption. We have invested in KITRO devices and work closely with local producers who supply us with fresh, organic products to minimise food waste. We offer a variety of vegetarian and vegan dishes to our guests. Additionally, we utilise an electric car for short-distance guest transportation, contributing to the reduction of CO2 emissions.

Destination and Local Community

The Grand Hotel des Bains Kempinski reinvests a portion of its revenue into projects supporting the local community and sustainable development. We organise tours and activities through local guides and businesses, boosting the local economy. Regional artists are given a platform to showcase their work, and our guests are educated about the ecosystems, traditions and cultures of the destination.

Nature

To protect wildlife, we do not display or keep wild animals for guest interaction at our hotel. We feature extensive green spaces and rooftop gardens, which enhance the hotel’s beauty and provide habitats for various plants and animals. Most of our food is sourced from organic producers, and we strive to offset a portion of our CO2 emissions.

Commitment and Certifications

Our dedication to sustainability has been recognised with the EarthCheck Silver certification, which acknowledges our efforts in environmental protection and social responsibility. 

Additionally, we have launched initiatives to support the Morteratsch Glacier and fundraising programmes such as ‘Be Health’.

By prioritising these efforts, we aim to create a more sustainable and environmentally friendly experience for our guests and the community.
