Geneva Hostel
This is how it works:
You can make a voluntary «Cause We Care» contribution to the Geneva Hostel at (contribution amount):
With these amounts, climate protection contributions are made to the extent of the calculated CO2 emissions of the stay or experience the Geneva Hostel. At the same time, the Geneva Hostel doubles the contributions and invests them in its own sustainability. In this way guests can achieve a double effect.
Ideally located on the lakefront, in the quiet area of Geneva's palaces and close to international organisations; a place of life and intercultural and multi-generational exchange, the mission of the Geneva Youth Hostels Association, founded in 1932, is to promote social tourism, cultural tourism and youth travel, to participate in their development, thus contributing to their education, to responsible citizenship in a humanistic spirit.
The sustainability measures implemented so far include, among others, the following: Energy savings in lighting and equipment, increased use of renewable energy, a predilection for local and seasonal food products and the application of the principles of sustainable construction and heritage enhancement in the maintenance and renovation of the buildings, in full collaboration with the City of Geneva, owner of the site. The priority objective is to reduce the F&B's share of GHG emissions by reducing food waste and favouring fresh, local and seasonal products.
