Common Good Balance Sheet
The Economy for the Common Good is an economic model whose goal is a good life for everyone on a healthy planet.
Our principles
Doing business responsibly
At its heart is the idea that values-driven companies pay attention to the common good and actively work towards it:
- Human dignity
- Solidarity and social justice
- Environmental sustainability
- Transparency and co-determination
- In an ethically oriented economy, companies that serve the common good should enjoy better conditions.
Our values for the common good
Since 2012, the Grünes Hotel zur Post has been committed to protecting the environment. With its eco-social ethos, its wonderful organic gourmet breakfast and a level of service only a family business can offer, it has established itself in recent years as the “hotel with a green heart”.
The green gardens reinforce this image. The natural atmosphere in the heart of Maxglan is a good place for guests – and for our own bees – to recharge.
On an economic level, the Economy for the Common Good is a viable, practical alternative for us. The purpose of doing business is defined by values that serve the common good.
Suppliers
All products are 100% organic and 85% come from the region. We repair rather than buy new, and we rely on organic cosmetics from Salzburg and certified cleaning products.
Employees
Long-serving employees, fair working conditions: breaks included in working hours, free meals, free bus tickets and a day off on their birthday.
Guests
Climate-friendly travel is rewarded! A free parking space when you book direct, an e-bike charging station, a 100% organic breakfast with honey from our own bees and exclusive benefits for direct bookers await you.
Energy
Our own photovoltaic systems, pellet heating, a stake in hydropower and solar thermal systems provide our energy. Bought-in electricity? Only 100% green electricity, of course!
Finance
All investments from our own resources, a high equity ratio and a focus on green energy. No investment funds, but a partner of “Salzburg 2050” for sustainable development.
Common good
SOS Children’s Village sponsorship, support for Austrian Doctors, an annual free apartment for the Global Family, and in 2022 we planted 100 trees.
