Vision AND strategy

Sustainability leader

We want to lead our company and the entire industry toward more sustainable operations. Failure to act will result in enormous negative consequences. But there are endless possibilities for change, even if it may take time. If we are serious, we need to invest well, aim high and remain committed for the long haul.

All of Scandic’s stakeholders expect us to invest in sustainability. Not only that, more conscious consumers and business travelers are choosing hotels based on sustainability. We will lose out if we do not live up to stakeholders’ demands, for example, for plant-based food, smart food waste management and initiatives to address climate change. Travel managers are also increasingly interested in sustainability. And Scandic’s team members and prospective employees expect and are willing to contribute to sustainability initiatives.

Costs are also a driving force. For us, a great part of sustainability relates to consumption and resource use, e.g. food and beverages, energy, water and chemicals. Using fewer resources is better for the environment and lowers costs for Scandic.
