Why is sustainability such an important issue for you at Huus Gstaad?Β
Paulo and his team are not only concerned about but alsoΒ well-informedΒ of the impact the hotel industry has on the planet. Paulo talked to us aboutΒ the hotel industryΒ and how it contributes to global warming and plastic pollution. Due to the fact that guests usually only stay on average in hotels between 2 to 3 days a great deal of single-use products (soap, shampooβ¦) and resources for cleaningΒ are used.
Climate change does and will continue to impact the hospitality sector. Extreme weather increases the cost of operations and reduces the number of tourists visiting certain destinations.
The hotel sector accounts for around 1% of global carbon emissionsΒ and this is set to increase. Hospitality, like other industries, has a responsibility to manage its impact on our planet and the Huus Gstaad places great importance on making the right choices NOW ( for example regarding the single-use products provided in theirΒ rooms).Β
βThe main goal for hoteliers now is to reduce the impact of plastic pollution by using environmentally-friendly materials and packaging."Β - Paulo
"In 95% of cases, guestsΒ gladly participate in all the proposed actions by the hotelβ -Β Paulo

Mondays partnership helps protect the planet
One of the main motivations for the hotel to chooseΒ Mondaysβ-productsΒ is that they are 100% plastic-free and packaged inΒ biodegradableΒ materials. Mondays is a perfect partner for the Huus Hotel as they help maintain and further improve the hotel's modern eco-friendly reputation.
Before Mondays, the Huus Gstaad team had already thought of placing period products within the hotel to make period products accessible to those who need it, when they need it.Β Paulo isΒ thrilled that organic and more environmentally friendly menstrual products areΒ now offered by them:
"My manager suggested that we work with Organic Mondays and I agreed that they offer a much better solution than the products we were using before" - Paulo

Delighted clients and employees!
Mondays period products, available in the bathrooms, are individually packaged and have a fresh modern branding, which Paolo explained appeals to him as the Housekeeping Manager. It is important for his jobΒ to haveΒ a good eye for details, heΒ wants to offer products that fit the design and ethos of this 4-star hotel:Β
"As they are individually wrapped, they are ideal to offer to our guests and have an elegant and clean appearance" - Paulo
"The guests, as well as some members of the housekeeping team, have tried the products and they sayΒ ......'WOW' "Β - Paulo
