Because it is our shared responsibility

Environmental policy

We have developed an environmental policy, which is now a fixed part of our daily procedure, and includes everything from our own cleaning, food handling, local food production, biodiversity, waste sorting, recycling and heating, as well as our purchasing policy.
We focus on the environmentally correct choice for you as a guest and for us. We are aware that this applies to both ourselves and our suppliers.
Read more about the individual efforts below.

Because we have an attitude!

Purchasing Policy

We have a clear policy when we purchase goods. When purchasing, we focus on price, quality, service, security of supply, operating costs, working environment, ethical conditions and on the products and services that, in their life cycle, affect the environment as little as possible.
Our green purchasing policy ensures that we solve our tasks with as little impact on the environment as possible. Consideration for the environment is included on an equal footing with other considerations in the planning and execution of all purchases.
This is your guarantee that the goods are as environmentally friendly as possible and produced under decent conditions for both workers and the climate.

Food Waste

Food waste is a challenge we take seriously! Therefore, we have implemented major restructurings in our restaurant to minimize food waste. This has been a great success and has led to a significant reduction in food waste since 2020.
‍
We have implemented various strategies to reduce the amount of food waste at Idrættens Hus. This includes careful planning of our purchasing and inventory to avoid overproduction and spoilage of food.

Inspiration for local and seasonal goods

Kitchen Garden

Together with Fælleshaverne, we have established a kitchen and vegetable garden in our atriums, next to the restaurant. Here, the chefs daily harvest ingredients such as salads and herbs that are included in the menu. The availability of harvest-ready ingredients shapes the composition of the menu and ensures, year-round, that the food is created in relation to the right season and local production. In addition to cabbage, salads and herbs, we also have berry bushes and perennials in our closed atriums. Initiatives we have taken to contribute to biodiversity.

Biodiversity

Biodiversity is essential for the stability of ecosystems. We believe that many small streams will make a big river. Therefore, we have chosen to create a small, own food supply that makes sense for us and our chefs.

Local seasonal produce

Local food production, which is part of our policy, supports our commitment to sustainability, reduces environmental impact and minimizes transport distances.

With respect for the environment

Cleaning

At Idrættens Hus Hotel & Conference, we have made an active choice to take better care of the environment. Therefore, we have changed our cleaning procedure so that your room is cleaned every fourth day. You will find an extra set of towels in the closet.

Cleaning is an important part of our operation, and we take responsibility for carrying it out in a way that protects the environment as much as possible. We use environmentally friendly cleaning products and methods that minimize the use of harmful chemicals.

Room cleaning

As standard, we clean occupied rooms every 4th day. To protect the environment. If you wish more often, please contact the reception.

General

We commit to working continuously to improve our environmental performance in waste sorting, food waste and cleaning. It is the least we can do for the environment.

Sorting of waste

For a greener stay

Waste sorting is a cornerstone of our environmental efforts. We actively work to minimize the amount of waste. Idrættens Hus has implemented a comprehensive waste sorting system that ensures that materials such as plastic, food and residual waste are separated correctly. We also encourage our employees and guests to actively participate in waste sorting through markings and containers for correct sorting.

In the room

You will find divided waste bins in the room and we hope you will help to sort as well as possible.

In the building

Our 2,500+ m2 cover many waste bins. In the future, they will be divided and we hope that you will also help to distribute your waste here - for the best of the environment.

The environment is important to us

Is it also important to you? Then Idrættens Hus is the right choice for your next meeting or hotel stay. We look forward to hearing from you.
