Our Environmental Commitment: Eco-Lighthouse Certified for a Sustainable Future<\/h2>\n

At Classic Norway Hotels, our environmental commitment is rooted in a genuine desire to honour the unique places we are privileged to call home. We see this responsibility as an essential part of authentic hospitality and as a matter of respect for nature, culture and history.<\/p>\n

A Systematic Approach and the UN Sustainable Development Goals<\/h3>\n

As part of this commitment, we work systematically towards our environmental goals through the Norwegian Eco-Lighthouse (Milj\u00f8fyrt\u00e5rn) certification scheme. Eco-Lighthouse provides us with a management framework to set targets, implement measures and monitor our climate and environmental performance over time.<\/p>\n

Today, 72% of our member businesses are Eco-Lighthouse certified. Our long-term ambition is for every property within Classic Norway Hotels to achieve certification. This is an ongoing process, which also includes new properties as they become part of our hotel collection.<\/p>\n

We have chosen to focus particularly on two of the UN Sustainable Development Goals:<\/p>\n

Goal 4 \u2013 Quality Education (4.4):<\/p>\n

We aim to provide a safe and attractive environment for learning and professional development. Through initiatives such as Classic Norway Talents, Classic Norway Academy, apprenticeship programmes and ongoing training, we work to strengthen skills, knowledge and professional growth throughout our organisation.<\/p>\n

Goal 12 \u2013 Responsible Consumption and Production (12.3):<\/p>\n

We actively work to reduce food waste, improve waste sorting, lower energy consumption and make more responsible purchasing decisions. Our kitchens measure and monitor food waste, while systematic energy management helps us identify opportunities for improvement. Furthermore, our purchasing policy sets clearer expectations for products and suppliers.<\/p>\n

Our Environmental Goals for 2026<\/h3>\n

Based on our results from 2025, we have established specific goals and measures for the year ahead.<\/p>\n

We are committed to:<\/p>\n
