Zermatt Bergbahnen Receives TourCert award

Another important step towards a sustainable future has been achieved. Zermatt Bergbahnen is one of the first mountain railways in Switzerland to achieve the TourCert seal. This represents an important statement on the balance and constant progress of the company's economic, ecological and social sustainability.

"For Zermatt Bergbahnen, sustainability means that we constantly and consistently implement sensible measures on an economic, ecological and social level. For us, this includes more than just the environmental protection aspect. The three pillars - economic, ecological and social - are of equal importance, they are interlinked and directly related to one another. In order to give this balance even more importance, we decided around a year ago to replace the previous ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certification with the specific sustainability certification TourCert. After a comprehensive assessment by a TourCert expert commission and the implementation of measures in accordance with an identified improvement program, Zermatt Bergbahnen can now proudly report on the success of its initial TourCert certification."

The internationally recognized consulting and certification system TourCert permeates the entire value chain in tourism and ensures that economic, ecological and social aspects are in harmony. With the certification, the Zermatt Bergbahnen are obliged to work on issues such as environmental protection and fair working conditions and to make continuous improvements. In parallel to the certification process, a sustainability report is produced at regular intervals, which provides transparent information on all activities, achievements and progress in relation to the three pillars of sustainability.
