ESG and SUSTAINABILITY CONSULTING for high class and luxury hotels

About me

Julia Skardarasy: “Sustainable management with no loss in high quality of service”

SUSTAINABILITY AS A RED THREAD IN CORPORATE MANAGEMENT

CSR, ESG and sustainability are terms that have become indispensable in entrepreneurial thinking and acting. With peak hotel consulting, I support hotels and selected service companies in the development of a structured and transparent sustainability strategy from A-Z with the aim of integrating it as a fixed component into the corporate management and implementing it consistently. I do not act as a pure consultant with good advice, but accompany you and your team on site in all processes.

Without a clear SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC MODEL hotels will no longer exist.

Operational hotel consulting in the direction of SUSTAINABILITY

In the hotel industry, day-to-day business is often overwhelming. Due to many new legal requirements that have to be met, which mainly concern the areas of climate change, environmental protection and human resources, it can happen that as a hotelier you lose the red thread in corporate management. In sustainability consulting, my team and I concentrate on putting the company’s actions in all its strategies, processes and measures on paper in a structured way, developing key figures and improvement measures in the three areas of environment, social and governance (ESG) and preparing an annual sustainability report.

What does SUSTAINABLE QUALITY MANAGEMENT mean?

Hotels always work in a revenue- and profit-oriented manner and tourism is one of the most important economic sectors in Austria. At the same time, and precisely for this reason, the basis of tourism – NATURE, PEOPLE, CULTURE – must be protected.

SUSTAINABLE QUALITY MANAGEMENT means running your company in such a way that environmental resources are used sparingly and the people you work with are treated fairly. It is therefore about the BALANCE between ECONOMIC SUCCESS as the umbrella of the sustainability concept and SOCIAL and ECOLOGICAL COMPATIBILITY.

FACT 1: Sustainability is not a trend it is going to be economic mainstream.

FACT 2: Reconciling sustainability with high service quality is still the biggest challenge for the hotel industry and especially for the luxury hotel industry. But it’s doable!

FACT 3: In Europe, as part of the Green Deal, more and more LAWS are being passed that oblige companies, including hotels, to demonstrate sustainability in the form of sustainability reports (ESG reports). The EU’s spending plans provide for around 40 percent of investments in the area of climate and environmental protection. Take advantage of the opportunities this offers for your hotel. Whether it is about lucrating SUBSIDIES, energy and resource savings or the search for employees.
