    We play our part in climate protection 

    • We pursue an ecological strategy in line with our common responsibility for creation.
    • The design and energy supply of our establishment allows us to handle resources with an environmentally friendly and sustainable approach.
    • When choosing foods, we ensure that we opt for regional and fair trade products, which we prepare in an environmentally friendly and healthy way.
    • We share the belief that more cost-intensive measures in the short term allow us to achieve long-term benefits and cost savings, above all for future generations.

    We are inclusive

    Alongside 21 other establishments, the Haus der Begegnung has been awarded a prestigious title. The “Wir sind inklusiv!” (We are inclusive!) award shines the spotlight on organisations that are committed to providing jobs for people with disabilities. The award recognises the work of staff and managers to adapt working processes so that the tasks and activities involved can also be completed by employees with limitations and to focus on the resources of each individual member of staff. 

    It also aims to encourage organisations and inspire others to follow suit and play a role in establishing more solidarity and a stronger bond. The “Wir sind inklusiv!” label is allowed to be used for promotional purposes from 2021 to 2023.

    Manuela Schweigkofler, the Managing Director of the Haus der Begegnung, welcomes the award, stating that: “Our journey towards achieving this is not a lonely mission: there are a number of support schemes and competent associations that provide advice on how to implement the necessary changes.” She also highlights the additional value of the approach, namely “using humanity, strong bonds and solidarity to show that all people have the right to work, regardless of the obstacles and limitations they may face.”
