Social commitment
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) – Our understanding of social responsibility
We have developed from the small Hotel Garni with three employees to the largest owner-managed private hotel in the Rhine-Main region, and we are among the best in the industry.
However, we cannot emphasise enough: it is our employees who make our company what it is, and we respect and hold each and every one of them in high regard. But we are not content just looking after our staff members as we regard ourselves to be a social institution and not solely an economic organisation.
As an economically sound and healthy enterprise and with the flexibility that ensues from this, we are happy to be able to share our success and get involved with social commitments in order to make a contribution to the community. This was and still is very important to us.
We thus support education and training goals that far exceed our own needs, and sponsor schools and sports associations in the area regularly with donations.
Our voluntary social commitment also extends to our suppliers and contractors since the respectful handling of natural resources is extremely important to us. It is not only a question of maximising profits, but taking on ethical and moral responsibility.
We therefore obtain our food from the region to the largest degree possible (avoid CO2 emissions) and as far as we are able, from organically certified companies or farms (e.g. Manos Bio-TransFair coffee, organic eggs, etc.); we procure our energy exclusively from renewable energy sources.
We regularly support the following institutions, some of which we have been committed to for 20 years
