Sustainability and environmental awareness are very important at the Best Western Plus Bierkulturhotel Schwanen in Ehingen - and this commitment is being rewarded again. The four-star hotel on the Danube has received the DEHOGA Gold Environmental Award for the third time in a row. "We are very proud that we have established environmentally friendly practices in all areas of the Brauhaus and BierKulturHotel Schwanen - from our own combined heat and power plant to photovoltaic electricity and climate-neutral electricity, gas and water suppliers. We are therefore very pleased about the environmental award," says Miller. Participants in the "DEHOGA Environmental Check" must undergo a critical review of the areas of energy and water consumption, waste generation or residual waste and food, such as regional purchasing. Differentiated limit values and requirements for the bronze, silver and gold award levels are set for each of the four categories. The individual characteristics of the companies are comprehensively taken into account. In addition to its own combined heat and power plant and climate-neutral electricity, gas and water suppliers, the beer culture hotel relies on water savers and energy switches in all rooms as well as motion detectors in public areas. In addition, the entire building is highly insulated - so in all areas, water and energy are only used where they are needed.
