Sustainability
Why we need to act
Through sustainable measures, Löwenbräukunst aims to make a significant contribution to societal transformation. The focus is on ecological priorities, with increased utilization and activation of public spaces.
The entire lighting system in the public areas of the Löwenbräukunst site has been converted to energy-saving LED technology.
Löwenbräukunst is Member of the Gallery Climate Coalition (GCC), an international network of art organisations committed to reducing the industry's environmental impact.
GCC’s primary goal is to facilitate a reduction of the sector’s CO2e emissions by a minimum of 50% by 2030, as well as promoting zero waste.
Location and infrastructure
We obtain 100% of our power from renewable energy sources. The photovoltaic system on the roofs of Löwenbräukunst produces more than 1,200,000 kWh of electricity a year, an amount that covers the needs of our house and neighbors.
Catering
For catering, Löwenbräukunst relies on regional and organic suppliers. With LOI bistro, the food on offer in house for staff and visitors is entirely vegetarian and vegan.
Partners
Wherever possible, Löwenbräukunst works with partner companies that practice sustainable and fair production methods.
For our Löwenbräukunst beers we work with the local brewery Erusbacher & Paul. During the construction of their new brewery, great importance was attached to resource-saving operating processes and energy-saving measures. As one of the leaders in the industry, over 99% of all beers are filled in environmentally friendly returnable containers.
MUSEUMSNETZ Zurich
Museum tours made easy: Launch of the "Museumsnetz Zurich" campaign
The city of Zurich wants to make its diverse museum landscape more visible. Today marks the start of the two-year "Museumsnetz Zurich" campaign. At 36 tram and bus stops, floor signs and signs pointing to the "Museumsnetz Zurich" will be installed.
The floor signs contain a QR code that leads to the
Museum Network website. The website provides a quick overview of Zurich's museums
