We at Scandic have long been involved in water improvement initiatives. In 2005, we were one of the founders of the Stockholm Water Prize, an international accolade awarded by the Stockholm Water Foundation every year. The prize goes to a person, organisation or institution for outstanding achievement in water-related activities.We used to transport nearly four million bottles of water to our hotels. We used to sell around 1.2 million litres of water a year at our hotels. That is equivalent to 3.6 million 33 cl bottles. With our own water, we estimate that we will cut carbon emissions by 160 tonnes per year, based on our earlier volume of sales. We like statistics and record all our consumption of energy and water and our production of unsorted waste and carbon emissions. Omtanke is a concept close to our hearts hears at Scandic – care and consideration both for people and the environment. Over the years, we have received many awards for our environmental and sustainability work. This shows that we are on the right path and spurs us to take our work on these issues even further. Here are just some of the awards and accolades we and our guests have received for our recent environmental and sustainability work. In March 2007, Scandic won the Swedish Grand Travel Awards prize for “Best Environmental Work”. The awards were based on Sweden’s largest survey of Swedish travel agents, carried out by Fürst Scandinavian Research. The respondents were asked to spontaneously say who they thought the leading players were in environmental work.

Scandic Asker is situated in Asker, in the region of Akershus of Norway . This country, with respect to its size, is an example to follow regarding its global ecological policies .
By 2030, Norway hopes to be a country that is carbon neutral. This means that the country plans to find ways so that there are no greenhouse gases emitted. This seems like a very steep goal as Norway is heavily reliant upon its oil rigs for export as well as for a source of energy. To achieve their goal, the government will be making big purchases of carbon offsets . Asker more specifically is a city whose inhabitants are beginning to see the challenges of protecting their environment, including the quality of their health or their energetic autonomy .
