Responsibility

Local Ingredients and Seasonal Menus

The taste of authentic experiences begins with the ingredients we use. We support local and Danish farmers by purchasing fresh produce, reflecting not only our pride in our culinary heritage but also reducing the environmental impact of transportation.

Our menus change with the seasons, ensuring an endless culinary journey that harmonizes with the cycle of nature.

In our kitchen, we use every part of the ingredients and nothing goes to waste. Organic waste is recycled into biogas, contributing to our impressive recycling rate of 80%. This holistic approach to cooking is not only good for the environment but also for our commitment to sustainable practices.

Responsible Procurement: From Production to Recycling

We believe that responsible procurement practices play a crucial role in creating a more sustainable future.

When we purchase goods and products, our first priority is to understand their origin and production methods. We strive to work with producers and suppliers who share our values ​​in terms of environmental responsibility and social justice.

The design of our 69 newly renovated rooms is a good example of this. They are exclusively furnished with furniture and interior made from sustainable and recycled materials. For example, our carpets are made from old fishing nets and plastic bottles, and everything from duvets, picture frames and furniture is equipped with the relevant certifications.

From Coffee Grounds to Oyster Mushrooms

Working closely with Microgreens, we have initiated measures to reduce waste and champion sustainable production.

We gather all our coffee grounds in large containers, which Microgreens picks up weekly. They utilize these grounds to cultivate oyster mushrooms exclusively for us, delivering fresh batches to our kitchen every week.

These exquisite mushrooms not only enhance our menu with their distinct flavor and texture but also contribute to environmental sustainability by repurposing waste into valuable resources.

Groundbreaking Recycling with Tork PaperCircle®

In collaboration with Tork PaperCircle® - the world's first recycling service for paper towels - our used paper towels can be recycled into new paper products.

We use approximately 2 tons of paper towels per year, which can now be recycled instead of being sent for incineration.

It makes a difference.

Intelligent Lighting for a Bright Future

Our intelligent lighting systems, sharp temperature control, and replacement of 100 circulation pumps save us about 750,000 kilowatt-hours per year.

A Greener Experience - Green Key Certification

At Nyborg Strand, we take pride in being Green Key certified. Our commitment to sustainability is an integral part of our business strategy. We continuously work to reduce our environmental impact and promote a greener future.

As a Green Key certified hotel, we pledge to adhere to stringent environmental standards and implement green initiatives throughout our operations.

By choosing Nyborg Strand, our guests and partners support our shared goal of protecting the environment and preserving our beautiful surroundings for future generations.

Community Engagement

We believe that a thriving society is one that stands united. That's why we've forged a close partnership with Community Engagement.

Our support extends to their "Help for the Start of School" initiative, ensuring that children from economically challenged families begin their school journey equipped with essential items like pencil cases, school bags, and practical clothing. Families are also welcome to assemble nutritious packed lunches for their children, ensuring they receive a wholesome meal each day.

To support this cause, we contribute proceeds from various activities, including our large flea market in June 2023. Additionally, a portion of our digital name tag sales is dedicated to the project.

Summer Camp for Vulnerable Families

In the summer of 2023, we introduced the Summer Camp Project for vulnerable families in collaboration with Community Engagement.

We invited 70 families to a 4-day all-inclusive summer vacation filled with pampering and exciting activities. It was a tremendous success and an incredibly touching experience.

We eagerly anticipate repeating this success for the next 5 years.

Gold Sponsorship for Team Rynkeby

Our partnership with Team Rynkeby goes beyond financial contributions. It's about raising awareness and supporting those in need. By joining this movement, we help ensure that children with serious illnesses receive necessary treatment and their families receive care and support during challenging times.

In addition to the above, we have long supported the Danish Christmas Seal Homes and various charitable events and initiatives in our local community.

At Nyborg Strand, sustainability and social responsibility are not just concepts — they're integral to our core values. You will experience it when you visit us.

Free ESG Training Course

As part of our commitment to social responsibility, Nyborg Strand offers an exciting opportunity for our smaller suppliers and partners: a complimentary ESG training course.

Recognizing the importance of increased transparency and reporting from our partners in promoting sustainability, we understand that these new requirements can be daunting for smaller businesses. Our aim is to support rather than hinder.

In collaboration with ESG consultant Tina Villadsen, we have developed a tailored 3-day ESG training course, offered completely free of charge. This course serves as a bridge connecting our sustainability goals with the practical realities faced by our suppliers and partners.

Inclusive Work Environment

As an inclusive employer, we work closely with the job center to accommodate employees who need support and offer assistance to those in need.

We welcome flex workers, interns, individuals in work trials and Ukrainian refugees. Additionally, we partner with STU, providing youth education to young people with special needs, who participate in our programs.

We prioritize the well-being and job satisfaction of all our employees by offering ongoing courses in good working conditions and social capital.

Our work culture values flexibility and we strive to alleviate pressure on our employees. We are a workplace where you can thrive without burning out, all while maintaining a strong work ethic. This is an essential aspect of our responsible business identity.

Our Own Student Restaurant

Our student-run restaurant, Restaurant Stranden, embodies our dedication to education and contribution to the future of the industry.

Operated by our talented chef and waiter students, Restaurant Stranden offers a unique learning experience in an authentic gastronomic setting. Proudly one of the largest training centers in Funen, we take our responsibility seriously by providing a platform where students can shape the culinary journey and deliver memorable service.

Our commitment to creating optimal learning environments ensures that our students are ready to join professional teams upon completing their education.
