Responsible Business - Let’s Take Responsibility

The Responsible Business programme was introduced in 2001 in response to increasing demands from guests, corporate clients, employees and owners. An environmental programme has been in place since the mid 1990s.

Main areas of responsibility:

• Taking responsibility for the health and safety of employees and customers
• Respecting social and ethical issues in the company, as well as in the community
• Reducing negative impacts on the environment

The Responsible Business programme is based on the Responsible Business Policy, which in turn is structured around suppliers and their expectations of the company from an economic, social and environmental point of view.

September is Responsible Business Action month. This is when the hotel pays special attention to Responsible Business.
