A more sustainable hospitality industry
Our business should contribute to a sustainable development with regards to environmental, social and economic aspects. We strive to improve profitability and streamline our operations based on a sustainable perspective. This means that we aim to prevent and reduce our environmental impact and make a positive contribution to our society.
OUR VISION
Through our vision of a unique Laplandic welcoming in combination with a sustainable approach to hospitality, we focus on three key areas in our daily work:
- Evironment to prevent and limit our impact on the environment surrounding us
- Social for a more equal society
- Economic for a healthy economic development of our region and our suppliers
THE FIRST IN SCANDINAVIA
As a part of our commitment Silver Resort is the first Scandinavian hotel and restaurant business to commit to a goal within Science Based Targets, to limit global warming in line with the 2015 Paris Agreement.
Some examples of our work
- Limit the use of energy in all our facilities during times when our hotels are not open
- Single use items e.g. bars of soap are being replaced with mounted dispensers with eco-friendly soap
- We actively strive to reduce food waste and look at more sustainable ways of handling our food waste
- When we buy new equipment we always consider ergonomics and work environment aspects as well as a careful choice of suppliers with an active sustainability work
In cooperation with TMR we now offer recycling bins at Kraja. Here you can leave used packaging made of paper, plastic, and metals for recycling. All collected packaging will be taken to a certified recycling facility.
By offering the possibility of recycling with us together with TMR, we want to give back to nature and at the same time improve the opportunities for all of us who do not live in the big cities. Together we can contribute to a more sustainable society, and this is a natural step for us in our work.
