Organic food

Against overfishing

Certified fish
The youth hostels in Baden-Wuerttemberg will offer from mid-2018 only certified fish, which fulfils the sustainability standards MSC or ASC.

 

To ensure fair conditions!

Certified coffee –fair trade
Also in the scope of coffee, the regional association will focus its attention on the challenges of sustainable development. From mid-2018 the youth hostels will therefore offer only certified coffee, which corresponds to accepted sustainability standards. Child labour and other exploitative conditions and violations of human rights have no place in our youth hostels. We therefore take social responsibility along the global value and supply chains.
