Green Comment:

The Vänga Kvarn one of Sweden's surviving mills is 13 kilometres from the hotel and the medieval Torpa Stenhus castle is 20 kilometres away. Gothenburg Landvetter Airport is 45 kilometres away with an approximate driving time of 30 minutes. We want to create a better world for our children so they can enjoy the green and eco friendly environment. Since 1993 small and large things that contribute to a more sustainable world have dominated our daily work. Scandic started developing what has become the industry's leading sustainability programme. Now we see good environmental, economic and social considerations feature in our everyday decisions. This has produced results, and we have become the trend-setters in our industry. Scandic is proof that you can be progressive in these areas and achieve even better profitability along the way. Scandic has been consciously tackling environmental issues since 1994. Our aim is to contribute to a socially and ecologically sustainable society. We have come a long way over the years. We have over 100 Swan ecolabelled hotels. In 2007 we announced our target of halving fossil carbon dioxide emissions by 2011 and ensuring that our activities have zero fossil CO2 emissions by 2025. 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 our guests and we 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 Plaza Boras is situated in Boras, in the region of Vastra Gotaland of Sweden . This specific country was able, despite the difficulties arising from its economic model, to set up effective ecological action .
While the rest of the world deals with continuously fluctuating oil prices, Sweden has decided to make things a little easier for the country and its people by making a plan to phase out the use of fossil fuels by 2020; however, these efforts didn’t just begin. The change really started in the 1980s during the oil crisis. Efforts towards this new 2020 goal have already started and 28% of the energy and resources used in Sweden are renewable and eco-friendly. The country has really focused on the use of hydropower, nuclear power, and wind power to provide electricity and other necessities throughout Sweden . Boras more precisely is a city that is not recognized for the investment of its population in the developement of local ecological projects .
