Zurich and Milan are the best connected airports.

The CSO Awards/25 Europe ceremony will take place at the Berghotel Schatzalp in Davos.

Address: Platz / Schatzalp CH, Talstation Schatzalp Bahn, Promenade 63, 7270 Davos, Switzerland

‍

The best way to arrive at the Schatzalp is to use the train from your hotel to the train station of “Davos Platz”. It is a 12 minute walk from the train station to the lift station (Promenade 63), and the lift gets you right in front of the venue.

We highly recommend coming by public transportation as WEF is a busy time in Davos, parking is very limited and traffic is not optimal.

Most hotels in the area are already fully booked and it will be hard to find room anywhere close to Davos. We recommend staying in nearby cities such as Klosters, Landquart or in the Vaduz area. Chur and Arosa are too far on the other side of the mountain.

Even if they may be already fully booked, we can recommend hotels in Bad Ragaz (40 min by car) or in Tschiertschen (1h20 by car). If you only come for a day, you might even consider staying in Zurich and taking the train.

It is important to include a Jury as the human factor in this analysis because sustainability is inherently a human-centric issue. CSOs are responsible for driving sustainability initiatives within their organisations and influencing the attitudes and behaviours of employees and stakeholders towards more sustainable practices. Understanding the personal characteristics, values, and leadership styles of CSOs can provide valuable insights into their ability to effectively lead sustainability efforts and create a culture of sustainability within their organisations.

Additionally, artificial intelligence may not be able to fully capture the complexities of human decision-making, emotions, and interpersonal relationships that are crucial to the role of a CSO. By incorporating the human factor into the analysis of CSO profiles, we can ensure that the winners of the CSO Awards are not just selected based on technical skills or achievements, but also on their ability to inspire and engage others in sustainability efforts.

Furthermore, recognizing and celebrating the human side of sustainability leadership can help to promote a more holistic understanding of what it means to be a successful CSO and inspire other sustainability professionals to emulate these qualities in their own work. Ultimately, integrating the human factor into the evaluation criteria for our CSO Awards can help to identify and promote CSOs who are not only effective sustainability leaders, but also empathetic, innovative, and capable of fostering positive change within their organisations and beyond.
