Hostels & Sustainability
Hostelling International, and its Member Associations, commit to intensifying their efforts to achieve a worldwide network of sustainable organisations and hostels. In doing so, we recognize that true sustainability involves the development of clear and measurable objectives in the following areas:
Social:
The social purpose of the HI network, as positioned in the constitution, provides the basis for the continuous development of our social and cultural objectives.
Ecological:
Exceptional efforts to clearly reduce the carbon footprint of HI hostels worldwide and work towards achieving carbon neutrality.
Economical:
Development which will ensure financially independent hostels with assured quality and standards worldwide.
