Focus on the environment and sustainability

At Skovshoved Hotel, our environment and sustainability are key and one of our main focus areas in the way we work. In May 2020 we were awarded as a Green Key hotel.

A Green Key certificate signifies multiple initiatives that underline our sustainable and green initiatives. This includes focus on organic products, the use of resources (e.g. water and electricity), the pre-sorting of waste, the used cleaning agents, and also more sustainable and organic offers and solutions for our guests. This includes chargers for electrical cars, rental of bicycles and organic products.
