Environmentally conscious and responsible office operations
We operate our office in an environmentally, economically, and socially sustainable manner.
The certification means, among other things, that we take responsibility for the impact on the environment, the planet, and local life that we may have. We sort all our waste. We set requirements for our cleaning products and our purchases, we monitor our consumption of water, electricity, and heating, and minimize it where we can. We set requirements for the laundry that washes our dish towels, and for ourselves in everyday life.
In general, we operate under the principles of "reduce, reuse, recycle & rethink" when purchasing, discarding, and planning new initiatives.

Sustainable tourism and local collaboration
We inspire each other, visitors, and the local community. As a tourist organization, we continuously strive to encourage more tourists to explore the beautiful nature surrounding Svendborg in a responsible manner. This includes everything from the journey here to the stay in South Funen and the trip back home.
We prioritize collaborating with others in the local area on sustainable initiatives and efforts to make a positive impact on our environment and community.
