Green campus

As a responsible organization, EHL voluntarily adopted an ecological policy for its infrastructures more than ten years ago: solar panels, biogas and wind-mills have become part of the scenery at the school. The subject is also taught to the students as part of their programmes of study. Students learn the practical aspects of ecological choices including their cost, discovering for instance that while environmentally sound policies can be expensive at the outset, they can result in savings in many areas such as the treatment of waste streams or energy conservation. | |
A vision for the future
Tourism is more than just an industry. It has a critical role to play in the future development of countries all over the world. The consequences of uncontrolled tourism can be devastating for both the environment and humanity.
At EHL, we incorporate the question of responsible, sustainable development into our all our teaching and activites. In 2006 the school was awarded the Swiss Ethics Prize for its contribution to sustainable development.
