Easily committing with us to sustainability
We are committing in a global manner in favour of ecological, economic and social sustainability and suggest to you activities, addresses and experiences that contribute towards developing a social, local economy that is beneficial to everyone.
Join the “Swisstainable” sustainability program
Because sustainability is one of the values of the Lausanne destination, we are a partner of the “Swisstainable” program. Set up by Switzerland Tourism, this program promotes the sustainable development of Switzerland as a tourist destination. Thanks to the “Swisstainable” label, travelers who are committed to or aware of eco-tourism are directed to more responsible places and offers. From accommodation and restaurants to soft mobility, certified sites are evaluated and required to meet various sustainability quality criteria. Three levels are required for full commitment.
Committing with us to protect the climate
We have joined the “Cause We Care” programme. Led by the myclimate Foundation, this programme enables the funding of many projects. Concretely, it’s a financial contribution of at least CHF 1 per product or activity sold by the tourist office that is asked from customers. The tourist office commits to doubling that contribution to invest more in its own sustainability as well as in another project supported by myclimate.
Are you looking for a way of committing to sustainability? Take part in the “Cause We Care” project with us. Together, we can make a difference.
This initiative is carried out in collaboration with the Swiss foundation myclimate within the “Cause We Care” programme.
The projects in which we’re involved
Clean Drinking Water for Schools and Households in Uganda
The primary objective of the programme is to disseminate water purification systems to low-income households and institutions such as schools, starting in Uganda. Carbon finance is used to give households access to the clean water technologies thereby improving the livelihoods and health conditions of thousands of people and at the same time reducing CO2 emissions by reducing the consumption of non-renewable firewood and charcoal.
