Sustainable commitment - for a better athletics future
Our claims
Sustainability is also a major concern for us. We also received the "Austrian Eco-Label for Green Meetings and Events" for the 49th Hypomeeting.
Our commitment is not limited to ecological measures, but also includes social and economic factors. We have taken a close look at mobility, catering, waste management, printed materials and much more and tried to implement as much as possible in a sustainable way.
We know that we are not yet perfect. For us, it's important to get started and get DOING. And in the spirit of the sport: We want to get better and better from now on!
If you have any questions about the certification, please do not hesitate to contact Alexandra.
Hotels With the "Hotel am Garnmarkt" in Götzis and the "Hotel Montfort" in Feldkirch, we have hotel partners for our athletes who are also very concerned about sustainability and who implement a variety of measures.
We are looking forward to your stay in one of the many eco-label certified hotels in Vorarlberg.
Gastronomy
Our food and beverage menus feature primarily organically grown and fairly traded foods - preferably from the region, a contribution to regional value creation.
In cooperation with the Vorarlberg soda brand VoÜs, only glass bottles will be served in the stadium. Your own drinking bottle can be filled with Goetzner tap water at any time.
Waste & Recycling
Our printed materials are produced according to defined guidelines. We make sure to produce less waste and to recycle the remaining waste by separating it properly. You will therefore notice that more reusable products are used when serving food and drinks.
How can you support us on our way?
Please bring your dishes and reusable containers (bottles, glasses) back to the return stations.
Dispose of your own waste at the waste collection stations in the bins provided. Overview of the recycling stations.

The topic of sustainability is for Chiara Schuler (Austrian heptathlete) crucial. She is particularly passionate about environmental initiatives, opportunities for the youth, and fair play.

Mobility
One of the biggest CO2 drivers at an event is mobility. We try to reduce the emissions in this area by collective transports for our athletes - with efficiently planned transports and regional companies.
As visitors and volunteers you can support us to become even better:
With the free ticket of the Vorarlberger Verkehrsverbund the arrival and departureas well as from the train stations St. Margrethen (CH), Buchs (CH), Lindau (D) and St. Anton (Tyrol) is very comfortable.
From the train station Götzis the local bus goes to the Möslestadion: Bus schedule ofline 307 and line 302 / stop Mösleweg.
It is a 15-minute walk from Götzis train station to the Möslestadion.
For especially sporty people there are many parking spaces for bicycles at the BORG (school opposite the stadium). The advantage: You park almost directly in front of the main entrance!

Our principles:
Recognition of and compliance with the competition rules
Respectful interaction between sports officials, athletes and coaches
Respect for the referees and judges
Respectful behavior of the audience
Respect and consideration for the opponent
To "limit" the winning motive (no victory at any price)
Maintain attitude in victory and defeat
Our anti-discrimination principles can be found here.
We are furthermore committed to the Safeguarding Policy of World Athletics and its principles of non-discrimination and respect for individuals‘ rights.
Götzis and its surroundings are characterized by very good air quality. This is primarily due to its geographical location amidst the mountains. The fresh mountain air ensures a natural purity of the atmosphere. Additionally, there is relatively little traffic in the region, which contributes to lower pollution levels. The combination results in exceptionally good air quality, which is appreciated by both locals and visitors.
To maintain the excellent air quality, we recommend all visitors and volunteers to come to the stadium by foot, by public transport, or by bike. Please also make use of our free shuttle buses.
