About Axica

Note on Sustainability

“A place of encounter only makes sense to us on the basis of the operational principle of sustainability – and this operational principle only makes sense if it permeates all areas of our activity. That’s why we rely on 100% green electricity and up to 90% natural light. It’s why we primarily use regional ingredients in catering, and water- and energy-efficient equipment in all departments. And that is why we are not yet satisfied with what we have achieved so far, but are continuously developing our sustainable profile.”
