Sustainability Report - Sass Dlacia S.p.A.Last update: March 5, 2025
At Sass Dlacia S.p.A., we recognize that the fundamental pillars of sustainability include economic, environmental and social aspects. We firmly believe that actions speak louder than words, which is why we work every day to ensure that sustainability is at the heart of our mission. We would like to share with you the initiatives we have supported in the last period:
Electricity columns with meters
At Camping Sass Dlacia we have installed electricity columns with meters on each pitch, switching from a consumption-based billing to our customers instead of a flat rate. This investment has led to our guests becoming more aware of their electricity use, reducing their annual electricity consumption by over 20%.
Eco-responsible constructions
All recent constructions within Camping Sass Dlacia are built according to ecological principles and in compliance with building and environmental regulations, collaborating with professionals who respect our guidelines in this area. Each project is carried out with extreme care, using sustainable and natural materials whenever possible. Our insulation is designed to minimize energy consumption, ensuring a low environmental impact. Furthermore, the high quality of the materials used guarantees considerable durability over time, thus helping to reduce the overall impact on the environment.
Compliance
Sass Dlacia S.p.A. is firmly committed to implementing and complying with current regulations regarding workplace safety, privacy, and other important compliance regulations. The company ensures that all necessary measures are applied effectively, with the aim of guaranteeing a safe and protected working environment for all employees and customers. This allows everyone to carry out their duties with peace of mind, without risks to their health and safety.
Use of electric vehicles:
New electric vehicles have been added to our fleet, which, together with electric and muscular bicycles, allow the movement of the staff within Camping Sass Dlacia. In this way, we reduce both noise pollution and CO2 emissions.
Ecological cleaning products:
The cleaning products we use in our facilities are certified with the ecolabel, ensuring that we respect the surrounding ecosystem. We are committed to maintaining a clean and safe environment without compromising nature.
Sustainable amenity line:
In our facilities, we have replaced single-use amenity products with high-quality local alternatives in refillable dispensers. This choice allows us to significantly reduce the use of plastic, minimizing waste and supporting local producers. Refillable dispensers contribute to a continuous reduction in packaging, in line with our sustainability goals and reduction of the ecological footprint.
Sustainable products in the minimarket
At Camping Sass Dlacia we have taken a number of measures to ensure that our minimarket offers sustainable products to our guests. We work with local farmers to supply typical local products, promoting local agriculture and reducing the transport footprint. In addition, we have expanded our selection of organic products, as well as fair trade products to promote social justice. We have also introduced natural, ecological and cruelty-free detergents and cosmetics to promote a sustainable lifestyle among our guests.
Sustainability guidelines for our employees
We have established sustainability guidelines for all our employees, which include practices to reduce water and energy consumption, as well as adopting environmentally friendly behaviors both during and outside of working hours. Each member of our team has been trained on how to actively contribute to our sustainability mission.
Guest awareness
We have introduced information signs in all our properties to raise awareness of sustainability issues among our guests. These signs provide tips on how to reduce water and energy waste, promote respect for the surrounding nature and explain how to properly separate waste according to municipal regulations. In addition, we ask for and take into account feedback from our customers to continuously improve our actions and ensure that they are always in line so that we can continuously improve. At Ütia de Börz and Camping Sass Dlacia, we encourage our visitors not to leave waste in the Puez-Odle Nature Park and to collect any waste along the paths to preserve the beauty of the area as well as respect the rules of the nature parks.
Waste sorting
We have implemented a waste sorting system with clearly marked recycling islands throughout the campsite. At Ütia de Börz we have also installed a waste sorting point on the terrace, accessible to both our guests and passers-by. This has allowed us to significantly increase the recycling rate and reduce our overall environmental impact. At the same time, we favour sustainable packaging to reduce the purchase of products with non-recyclable packaging and adopt strategies to reduce food waste.
Sponsorship and support for local associations
Engaging and strengthening the social fabric of the region in which we operate is essential for us, as well as a duty. We want to contribute to the development and prosperity of local communities to create a positive environment for those who live or visit the environments where our facilities are located.
At Sass Dlacia S.p.A., as a company that is founded on a responsible approach to sustainability in all its facets, we believe in the importance of actively collaborating with the surrounding communities.
For this reason, we are pleased to sponsor different activities and organizations that generate a positive impact on the territory. With clear and transparent criteria, we carefully evaluate each request received, considering the alignment with our values, the scope and effectiveness of the proposed project.

Sustainability-themed events.
The Sustainability Summit, held in October 2024, focused on the importance of tourism that respects and enhances the territory.
The event, organized in collaboration with the Cooperativa Turistica di San Vigilio / San Martino and Destinaction, encouraged the exchange of ideas and dialogue between young professionals and experts in the sector, exploring the challenges and opportunities of sustainable tourism.
The discussions focused on three main themes: the reduction of food waste, the creation of sustainable tourism experiences and the socioeconomic impact of sustainable tourism on rural mountain communities.
A highlight was the “Farm to Fork” workshop, organized in collaboration with the non-profit organization Protect Our Winters (POW Italia). This workshop offered participants the opportunity to rediscover the value of conscious food choices, preparing energy bars made from oats and natural, local ingredients.
We are pleased to announce that our commitment to promoting environmental and social sustainability has been recognized by the Global Sustainable Tourism Council, which has awarded the GSTC certification to Camping Sass Dlacia and Ütia de Börz. This recognition demonstrates our constant commitment to continuous and sustainable improvement.
Aware of the importance of a proactive approach, we are determined to step up our efforts to reduce our ecological footprint and involve our guests in these initiatives. Sustainability remains a fundamental pillar of our business strategy and we will relentlessly strive to find innovative solutions for environmental protection. The GSTC recognition motivates us to pursue excellence in sustainable tourism.
Dear visitors of the local nature parks: we kindly ask you to follow this simple set of behavioural rules in order to preserve the natural wilderness and to allow everyone to enjoy the park:
- Follow the “carry in, carry out” motto: always bring your waste home.
- Preserve and protect your nature parks. Leave natural areas the way you find them or even better (at the reception, you can find trash bags).
- Do not carve, chop, cut, or damage any live trees.
- Campfires are prohibited within the nature parks.
- Camping is also prohibited in the nature parks.
- Help prevent pollution by keeping garbage, litter, and foreign substances out of lakes, streams, and other bodies of water.
- Collect only images, impressions and memories, not mushrooms, flowers, trees, fossils, rocks and minerals. Removing or possessing natural or cultural resources is prohibited.
- Do not scare or approach animals. Feeding wildlife is also prohibited.
- Preserve silence in the nature park: keep your voice low.
- Respect reptiles, amphibians, invertebrates and insects – you are the visitor, not them.
- Don’t walk outside the marked paths.
- Wear clothing suitable for mountain territory.
- Travel as much as you can on foot, to better enjoy the beauty of nature.
