    The Green Key award is a leading standard of excellence in the field of environmental responsibility and sustainable operation within the tourism industry. This prestigious eco-label represents a commitment by businesses that their tourism establishments adhere to the strict criteria as stipulated by the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE).

    Appart’City: apart-hotels with a recognized label

    Since the very beginning, Appart'City has strived to optimize its apart-hotels to make them ever more respectful of the environment, all in an approach that aims for sustainable and sustainable tourism.

    This year, a quarter of the Group’s apart-hotels is labeled "Green Key", the first international environmental label for tourist accommodation and catering.

    The “Green Key” is awarded by a jury made up of tourism and environmental experts. Their authority in the field of tourism and sustainable development represents a strong guarantee of confidence for committed professionals.

    Ultimately, and through regular development, the goal is to achieve labeling of the entire hotel portfolio within three years.


    More sustainable consumption 

    The reduction of the environmental impact within the aparthotels is also supported by actions taken to reduce or even eliminate the use of plastic or raise awareness of selective sorting and the overconsumption of cleaning products. Thus, in 2022, water fountains will replace all single-use bottles and individually wrapped products will gradually be replaced by solid soaps and eco-labeled dispensers.

    To ensure compliance with best practices, all employees are trained in eco-gestures.

    Valid for the year 2022, this label is the demonstration of concrete actions implemented within the establishment, in favor of sustainable development.

    Ideally located in the North of Geneva, five minutes from Genève Aéroport, Palexpo and the surrounding business area, but also 30 minutes from downtown Geneva and Lake Geneva, "Appart'City Confort Genève Aéroport - Ferney-Voltaire 4*” is perfectly adapted to the needs of a business clientele, but also of leisure, for stays from one night. The establishment of 125 rooms and studios has been designed to facilitate sharing and conviviality, in a refined setting. Visitors appreciate this hotel with its definitely “Home style” atmosphere!

    Opposite the Basel SBB train station, the car rental company Enterprise Switzerland is now offering the possibility to quickly and independently switch to a selection of rental cars with "Click & Go" in the parking garage of the Hotel Victoria. With this unique mobility offer throughout Switzerland, Enterprise Switzerland wants to herald a new phase in urban mobility. The company has already tested its new offer at various Swiss railway stations and is now expanding it to urban areas.

    New mobility offers are making their way into urban areas throughout Switzerland. The linking of road and rail transport is progressing steadily with the inclusion of further providers of e-bikes or e-scooters. The focus of urban mobility solutions is particularly on flexible rental models for vehicles, which are used as a supplement depending on the need. Against this background, Enterprise Switzerland and Hotel Victoria are jointly launching "Click & Go". As of now, three rental vehicles are available at the Parking Hotel Victoria, which can be rented spontaneously and independently for individually definable periods of time using the associated web app.


    App replaces car key

    Thierry Gavoille, member of the executive board of Helvetic Mobility AG, which holds the Swiss licence for Enterprise Switzerland, explains: "Our web app enterprise-go.ch can be used to check the availability of our vehicles at the locations, book an individual rental period and unlock the vehicle in question on site using the Bluetooth function of the smartphone. With this uncomplicated handling, we also want to give people who decide at short notice the opportunity to access one of our vehicles when needed. One click in the app is all it takes.

    Enterprise Switzerland has already successfully tested its new service in cooperation with SBB at various Swiss railway stations and is now expanding it to the Basel city area due to the high demand. Thierry Gavoille emphasises: "In the first phase, we will provide three vehicles in the small and family car segment at our location in the parking lot of the Hotel Victoria. Whether someone wants to travel alone to a meeting outside the city centre or take the whole family on a day trip to the countryside, our rental vehicles provide this flexibility 24/7."

    Individual and varied

    Enterprise Switzerland plans to create new locations throughout Switzerland in the coming months and at the same time increase the selection of rental vehicles. Thierry Gavoille emphasises: "We are currently focusing on the needs of urban areas. With additional locations, we will also adapt our offer accordingly. We see the future of mobility in a flexible offer that is adapted to the respective needs of the transport users. Whether train, tram, e-bike or rental vehicle - we see "Click & Go" as a perfectly fitting piece of the puzzle for the mobility of the future. As a brand-independent provider, we are able to offer our customers a wide range of brands and models, from the Nissan Micra to the Volvo XC90 - freshly cleaned and sanitised before every booking."


    About Helvetic Mobility AG

    Organisations worldwide are set to increase investment in employee health.

The survey of nearly 1,000 risk professionals across 75 countries, coupled with insight from the Workforce Resilience Council and International SOS proprietary data, indicates that both mental and physical health support will see increased investment. In fact, over half (56%) of organisations intend to increase spending on both.
