Environmental

Scandic has been consciously tackling environmental issues since 1994. Our aim is to contribute to a socially and ecologically sustainable society. We have come a long way over the years. For instance, we have over 120 Swan ecolabelled hotels. Since 2007, we are working dedicated to eliminate our fossil carbon dioxide emissions. We are very pleased about our suppliers and partners, who also become involved. And also very proud of all our committed employees.

Environmental knowledge

Since we started our environmental work, we have given 12,000 team members training on sustainability issues. We have now amassed a great deal of knowledge and see sustainability as a challenge and an ongoing process – globally and locally. Don't be surprised if you see someone at our hotels watering the plants with a carafe from an empty restaurant table. It's utterly ingrained now. We don't pour water away, we use every last drop.

 

"No company can avoid taking responsibility for the environment and focusing on environmental issues. Scandic shall, therefore, lead the way and work continuously to promote both a reduction in our environmental impact, and a better environment. Scandic shall actively contribute to a sustainable society." Scandic's environmental policy since 1994 

The Natural Step – our advisor on environmental issues
