Environmental policy
our green journey
Our responsibility. Our choice. Our Skagen.
A stay at Color Hotel Skagen is not just about peace and relaxation. It's also about consideration - for each other and for the nature we live in. We are proud to be Green Key certified since 2019 - as one of the first hotels north of the Limfjord - and we work hard to be part of the change.
For us, sustainability is not just a goal. It's a movement. A living part of everyday life. From energy-efficient solutions and sustainable materials to the small but important everyday choices, we take responsibility and believe that change starts with us.
Our promise to Skagen
and to you
Skagen is something very special. You realise this as soon as you stand here - with the wind in your hair and the sun in your eyes. It's an obligation. That's why our environmental policy is based on a deep respect for the very thing that makes Skagen so unique: Nature. The silence. The light.
We want to give more than we take. That's why we work according to principles that draw on the UN Sustainable Development Goals - and our own belief that small steps create big changes:
We strive to minimise our carbon footprint as much as possible - and are constantly looking for new solutions that have less impact.
We launch initiatives that save energy and water.
We recycle, sort and reduce waste.
We involve our employees and partners in the green movement.
We choose suppliers who share our values and ambitions.
And we follow - and preferably exceed - Green Key requirements as a natural part of our daily operations.
Green ambitions with care
from floor to ceiling
Our green ambitions are constantly being translated into action. Here are some of the concrete steps we have taken - and continue to take:
Energy-efficient installations in kitchen, refrigeration and staff facilities.
New low energy buildings with solar panels on the roof.
LED lighting and intelligent energy saving systems in lobby and corridors.
Ecolabelled cleaning products and sustainable carpets.
Waste sorting throughout the building to the latest standards.
Focus on food waste - both in purchasing and preparation.
Focus on organic and local produce in season.
Bike hire for guests - and routes that start right outside the door.
100% smoke-free environment indoors - because clean air is also a value.
Eco-friendly paper and digital solutions wherever possible.
One step closer
Environmental work is alive. It is changing. And we're keeping up. With open eyes and beating hearts - for the place we call home. For Skagen. And for you, who choose to visit us with care. Thank you for being part of the journey.
