We Care
We share the tradition and culture to do more than what is expected of us —for our guests, our employees, society and the environment. We call this work WeCare. Here are some of the things we do to give back and minimize our impact.
Working with Talita
Talita is an organization that helps women out of prostitution and human trafficking. Leaving these conditions is a difficult process and the need for support is huge, which is why Talita is so important. Nordic Light helps with financial contribution, work training at the hotel for the women and by creating awareness about the issue for the guests at the hotel.
On the pillows in every room, we leave a door hanger with information about Talita and how you as a guest can help. By placing it here we make sure that every guest sees it, as they have to remove it before going to bed. It also signals our very clear stand point on this issue.
Nordic Swan Ecolabel
Nordic Light Hotel is proud to be a Nordic Swan Ecolabelled hotel, a testament to our long-term and active efforts to reduce our environmental impact and run a more sustainable operation. Learn more about our environmental initiatives and the Nordic Swan Ecolabel here.
Our Food Philosophy
Around 33% of all food produced worldwide is wasted, and that’s simply not sustainable.
Reducing food waste is one of our priorities, and you can help. By reducing the size of our plates by just a few centimeters, we can cut plate waste by as much as 20%.
We use the WWF Seafood Guide to develop our own sustainability red list, which helps us identify meat and seafood products that should be avoided based on their environmental impact and conservation status.
We believe the food we serve should never come from production methods involving animal cruelty, overexploitation, or practices that harm the environment. That’s why all the seafood we serve is MSC- or ASC-certified, ensuring it comes from responsibly managed and sustainable sources.
Ethical Trade
A visit with us should be positive and smart, both for our guests and for the community. Delivering fantastic hotel experiences, produced with care for people and the environment, is important to us.
It is not always easy to act right, which is why we have developed ethical guidelines for our suppliers and all their suppliers. These cover basic human rights, requirements for good working conditions and environmental requirements that are internationally recognized UN conventions and ILO conventions.
We want all our partners to make as little impact on the environment as possible. Therefore, we have a list of minimum requirements for environmental certifications and environmental policies that all our suppliers undertake to uphold.
Diversity
We are 16,500 employees from 170 countries. No matter what your experience is, where you are in life, what flexibility you have and who you love, there is a spot for you at Nordic Choice Hotels which we are a part of.
We have an ambitious work for equal rights and opportunities, regardless of people’s sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression.
Nordic Light Hotel is TAG Approved ® as a LGBTQ-hotel together with our partner Preferred Hotels & Resorts.
