Steinbock

Depending on their engagement for and performance in sustainable development, accommodation enterprises are certified by the Steinbock-Label with up to 5 capricorns. The label controls a hotel’s achievement in the 5 dimensions:

Management
Economy
Environment
Social responsibility
Regional creation of value and culture

The better the sustainable-performance, the more capricorns a hotel gets awarded. The Steinbock-Label certified accommodations range from traditional 3* to 5* hotels to youthhostels, conference hotels or eco-lodges.
