Sustainable commitment - for a better athletics future


Our demands

We attach great importance to sustainability.
Ecological, social and economic measures are very important to us. In this process, we take aclose look at areassuch as mobility, catering, waste management, printed materials and much more and try to implement as many sustainable measures as possible.

We know that we are not yet perfect. For us, it is important that we DO. And in the spirit of sport: we want to get better and better from now on!

If you have any questions about certification, Alexandra will be happy to help.

Joint measures

Hotels, gastronomy & mobility

Hotels
With the "Hotel am Garnmarkt" in Götzis and the "Hotel Montfort" in Feldkirch, we have the perfect hotel partners for our athletes. Sustainability is a major concern for both of them, which is why they implement a variety of measures themselves.

We look forward to you spending your stay in one of the many eco-label-certified or organic hotels in Vorarlberg.

Gastronomy
Our food and drink menus focus on organically grown and fairly traded food - preferably from the region, a contribution to regional value creation.

In cooperation with the Vorarlberg lemonade brand VoÜs , only glass bottles are served in the stadium. Your drinking bottle can also be filled with Götzner tap water at any time.

Waste & recycling
Our printed materials are produced according to defined guidelines. We take care to produce less waste and to recycle the waste that is still produced through good waste separation. You will therefore notice that we are increasingly using reusable products when serving food and drinks.

How can you help us on our way?
  • Please take the crockery and reusable containers (bottles, glasses) back to the return stations.
  • Dispose of your own waste at the waste collection stations in the bins provided. Overview of the separation stations.

Statements of our sponsors

Wolfgang Beichler - Hypo Vorarlberg Bank AG

"At Hypo Vorarlberg, sustainability has long been a central element and an important strategic dimension. Hypo Vorarlberg is aware of its responsibility and opportunities as a financial institution and makes a contribution to a future worth living on many levels."

Manfred Böhmwalder - Market town Götzis

"To meet the challenges of the future, we must act together. It is crucial that we set the course for tomorrow today. Our community faces a multitude of challenges in dealing with the effects of climate change, and every step we take brings us closer to a future worth living. By implementing sustainable projects and activities, we are not only setting an example for environmental and climate protection, but also inspiring others to join us in taking action."

Christian Beer - Robotunits GmbH

"It is crucial to differentiate between environmental protection and climate change. Our focus is clearly on sustainable environmental protection. That's why, for example, we rely exclusively on renewable energies such as solar energy and geothermal energy and completely dispense with fossil fuels."

Diana Wucher - illwerke vkw AG

"Our heart beats for a future in which sustainability is a living reality. We understand sustainability as our deep commitment to maintaining a balance between ecological care, social justice and economic rationality. Every element of our actions reflects this aspiration. In this way, we take responsibility for our environment, make a positive contribution to society and ensure our economic stability. Our mission is to be a pioneer - through a harmonious combination of environmental awareness, social commitment and smart business management. We strive for top performance and in this spirit we wish the athletes all the best and a successful competition."

Athlete ambassador

For Chiara Schuler, a heptathlete from Vorarlberg, the topic of sustainability is very essential. She is particularly interested in environmental measures, opportunities for young talent and fair play.

Mobility
One of the biggest CO2 drivers at an event is mobility. We try to reduce emissions in this area by providing collective transportation for our athletes - with transportation planned as efficiently as possible and using regional companies

As visitors and volunteers, you can help us to become even better:
  • With the free ticket of the Vorarlberg Transport Association, you can easily travel to and from the train stations St. Margrethen (CH), Buchs (CH), Lindau (D) and St. Anton (Tyrol).

  • The local bus runs from Götzis railroad station to the Möslestadion:
    Bus timetable of line 307 and line 302 / stop Mösleweg

  • It is around 15 minutes on foot from Götzis train station to the Möslestadion and less than the last discipline in the decathlon!

  • For the particularly sporty there are plenty of parking spaces for bicycles at the BORG (school opposite the stadium). The advantage: You can park almost directly in front of the main entrance!

    Simply use the cycle route planner to find the quickest route.

  • Tip: If you are still traveling by car, try to carpool. And of course you can offset your CO2 emissions yourself. For example via tree.ly.

  • Carpooling tip: find carpooling opportunities easily with the VLOW app

Fair play & anti-discrimination

As the organizers of the Hypomeeting Götzis, we consider fair play to be fundamental. In addition to adhering to the rules of the competition, fair play also means the attitude of all participants.

Our principles:
  • Recognition of and compliance with the competition rules
  • Respectful interaction between sports officials, athletes and coaches
  • Respect for the referees and judges
  • Respectful behavior of the audience
  • Respect and consideration for the opponent
  • "Limiting" the motive for winning (no victory at any price)
  • Maintaining an attitude in victory and defeat

Our anti-discrimination principles can be found here .

We also support the World Athletics Federation's Safeguarding Policy and the principles on anti-discrimination and protection of participants' rights described therein.

Air quality

Götzis and the surrounding area are characterized by very good air quality. This is mainly due to the geographical location in the middle of the mountains. The fresh mountain air ensures a naturally clean atmosphere. There is also relatively little traffic in the region, which contributes to lower levels of pollution. This combination leads to exceptionally good air quality, which both locals and visitors appreciate.

To make the whole thing even clearer, this year during the meeting week and especially on meeting weekends, the air quality will be measured directly at the station on site.
This is made possible by the platform for digital initiatives and in particular the particulate "Feinstaubgurke" developed by Tino Hager, which is installed in the station for this measurement. The particulate matter cucumber makes measuring particulate matter very easy.
