Environmental sustainability

We’re proud to announce that our resort holds a Nordic Swan Ecolabel certification and that we’ve also received a certification as a Sustainable Destination. This means that we fully satisfy the environmental requirements imposed on Nordic Swan Ecolabel-certified facilities.

Some examples of Högis’ efforts to help the environment:

• Eco-labelled cleaning products

• Eco-labelled dishwashing and laundry detergents

• Reduced consumption of disposable packaging

• Increased recycling of tea light holders, etc.

• Using locally-produced primary produce as much as possible

• All new light bulbs installed in existing lamps are LED lamps

• We strive to ensure that any chemicals we use are classified to show their effect on people, animals and the environment. Högis constantly works to reduce its use of hazardous chemicals.

• Composting machine

• Newly-built recycling station

• A commitment to the green ideal of zero waste in connection with food preparation.

Sustainable Destination: This certification is based on the World Tourism Organization’s (UNWTO) ten principles for developing a sustainable tourist destination and serves as a tool for systematising sustainability efforts for the destination as a whole. The certification requires that the destination preserves and protects nature, culture and the environment, promotes social values and works to achieve economic sustainability.
