The report covers the financial year 2025 and examines our business activ\u00adities from two perspec\u00adtives: their impact on the envi\u00adronment and society, and the financial oppor\u00adtu\u00adnities and risks that arise for Dolder Hotel AG as a result.

Where appro\u00adpriate, we supplement the standard require\u00adments with industry-specific topics and addi\u00adtional key perfor\u00admance indi\u00adcators to provide a mean\u00adingful overall picture. The report combines quan\u00adti\u00adtative indi\u00adcators with qual\u00adi\u00adtative assess\u00adments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>As this is the first time we are reporting in this format, we present compar\u00adative figures where reliable data is available. In the coming years, we will system\u00adat\u00adi\u00adcally expand compa\u00adra\u00adbility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>We report in accor\u00addance with the \u2018<em>if applicable<\/em>\u2019 prin\u00adciple: this means that we disclose infor\u00admation that is material and relevant to Dolder Hotel AG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>The report is published annually and is publicly available.
