Sustainability at XPORT: Taking Responsibility, Shaping the Future

Here at XPORT, we firmly believe that digital success and environmental responsibility must go hand in hand.

For over two decades, we’ve been supporting the hospitality industry—an industry that thrives in particular on the beauty and diversity of our environment. That’s why, for us, sustainability isn’t just part of our communications—it’s part of our everyday operations. We’ll show you how we take responsibility at XPORT and how we help hotels credibly showcase their own sustainability initiatives.

Green Hosting for Your Website

A hotel website must load quickly and be available around the clock—and that requires energy. That’s why we also prioritize resource-efficient solutions when it comes to hosting. Depending on the project, we rely on hosting services powered by green energy, among other things, while simultaneously optimizing load times and data volumes. This allows us to operate our digital presence in a more sustainable and efficient manner.

Heading Toward the Future

E-Mobility for Our Official Travel

Thanks to our remote work structures, we are able to handle many tasks digitally. Nevertheless, personal contact with our customers is important to us. When we travel to hotels for workshops, meetings, or events, we use electric vehicles or the train for our business travel whenever possible. This is how we strive to reduce our CO₂ emissions even while on the go.

Visibility for Sustainable Mobility

charged.travel – Our portal for hotels with electric vehicle charging stations

Based on the idea of making hotels with electric vehicle charging stations more visible, charged.travel was created. On the portal, we bring together hotels that offer their guests charging stations for electric vehicles. This allows travelers to find the right accommodations—and participating hotels to reach guests for whom e-mobility already plays an important role in their travel planning.

Putting Down Roots Together

Planting Trees with XPORT and the "Planted" Project

For us, sustainability also means giving something back to nature in very concrete ways. That’s why we support the climate protection project “Planted”. Every month, we plant a new tree for every employee on #TeamXPORT. This way, as our team grows, a real, green XPORT forest grows alongside it—one that sequesters CO₂ over the long term.

Efficient, digital, and resource-efficient

Climate-Conscious Practices in Our Agency's Day-to-Day Operations

For us, sustainability is most evident in our daily routines. That’s why we operate largely paperless and avoid unnecessary printing. Our work-from-home and remote work models reduce many daily commutes. We also make a conscious effort to use resources wisely when it comes to digital tools—for example, by using AI specifically where it adds real value.

More Than Just a Trend

Why Sustainability Is Part of Who We Are

For many guests today, sustainability plays an important role in their travel decisions. This makes it all the more important not to exaggerate the significance of these measures. Credible communication, therefore, always starts with what a hotel actually does.

We want to help shape this transformation in the hospitality industry and take responsibility ourselves. When we support hotels with their communications, our focus is not on creating the “greenest” image possible, but on conveying genuine actions in a way that is visible, understandable, and credible.

  • How can you help me get Greensign certification for my hotel?

    How wonderful— sustainabilityand environmental protection are just as important to us as they are to you!


    We can help you achieve GreenSign certification by communicating your sustainability efforts on your website in a transparent, visible, and credible way. To do this, we’ll prominentlyfeature the GreenSign seal(e.g., on the homepage or in the footer) and link it correctly. In addition, we can create a dedicated sustainability landing page for you, where you can explain your initiatives to guests in an easy-to-understand way and where relevant tips for eco-friendly guest behavior can be integrated—for example, during the booking process or upon arrival.


    The technical implementation also contributes to your environmental footprint: Upon request, we offer green hosting powered by 100 percent renewable energy and optimize loading times through compressed images, clean code, and caching to reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions.


    In addition, we ensure compliance with social and legal standards by implementing accessibility in accordance with relevant criteria (e.g., BITV) . This is complemented by the legally compliant integration of a cookie banner.


    If you're interested in obtaining Greensign certification, feel free to contact us so we can plan your project together!








  • Why are sustainable web design and green hosting important?

    Websites also require energy for hosting and data transmission. Streamlined code, optimized images, fast loading times, and the right hosting solution can reduce resource consumption. At the same time, your visitors benefit from a fast and efficiently designed website.

  • Can you help me better communicate my hotel's sustainability efforts?

    Yes! Many hotels are already implementing meaningful measures, but they’re very hesitant to communicate them. We’ll help you present this information in a clear and credible way on your website and through the right marketing channels—without making the measures seem more significant than they actually are.

  • What exactly is charged.travel, and how can my hotel participate?

    charged.travel is our portal for travelers specifically looking for hotels with charging stations for electric vehicles. If your hotel offers EV charging stations, it can be listed there. This allows you to reach guests for whom access to charging stations is an important factor when choosing their accommodations.
