ESG // A Place To Care
We care about the environment, social issues, and good corporate governance. That’s why we actively work with an ESG approach at A Place To Hotel. ESG stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance – often referred to as sustainability.
Starting well is halfway done, but working with ESG is a dynamic process, and we will continuously implement new initiatives at our hotel – for the benefit of us all. On this page, you can read about the ESG initiatives we have already implemented at A Place To Hotel. And you are always welcome to inquire about our sustainability initiatives.
ENVIRONMENT
The hotel’s unique expression in raw concrete is not just a visual choice; it also helps us limit the use of unwanted chemicals, as only a few surfaces need treatment with, for example, paint.
We help our guests make better choices for the environment. We do not provide disposable items in our rooms, but you can still find shampoo, conditioner, hand soap, and more in the bathroom. If you’d like to leave your car behind, you can rent bicycles from us.
We clean as needed. This means that as a guest, your room won’t be cleaned every day during your stay but instead every third day. This helps reduce electricity and water consumption, as well as the amount of cleaning products used in daily cleaning. If you wish to have your room cleaned before the third day, simply inform the reception no later than 9:00 p.m. the day before. You also have the option to decline cleaning altogether during your stay.
For cleaning, our cleaning staff uses environmentally friendly cleaning products and cloths without microplastics. Our supplier of textile and laundry services is Svanemærket.
Solar panels have been installed on the hotel’s roof, contributing to reducing the hotel’s energy consumption.
SOCIAL ISSUES
A Place To Hotel naturally has a collective agreement that covers all our employees.
It’s important that the physical conditions are right for the employees at A Place To Hotel, so we pay attention to using the correct working positions and ensuring that each workstation is set up to avoid injuries and discomfort.
We believe that going to work at A Place To Hotel should be a fun, safe, and pleasant experience, so we focus on fostering a strong internal cohesion and collaboration among our staff. We believe that happy people in a good working environment are good for business.
GOOD CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
A Place To Hotel’s employees and management are continuously sent on industry-related education courses so that they have the prerequisites to continue developing as both individuals and employees. For us, this is a significant part of sustainable and responsible management.
We take our social responsibility seriously, which is why we often have interns from different business schools. They get the opportunity to put into practice what they have learned in the classroom while we teach them new skills that they can use later in their education or professional life.
