We are Green Key certified

In January 2021, DGI Byen was certified as a Green Key member through HORESTA. The membership places great demands on us as a company, to become even more aware of everything from waste sorting, sustainable suppliers to environmentally conscious choices of consumer products, energy sources and much more.

We ensure that movement and sustainability go hand in hand

In DGI Byen, there is movement for the head, heart and feet. We have opportunities for development that promote people’s well-being. With environmentally safe care and competent employees, we hope to be an inspiration to all of those that use our city.
Initially, we focus on areas with high traffic from guests. In our conference centre, our hotel and not least in our large venue Øksnehallen (Ox hall), we have put our all into a sustainable and environmentally conscious approach with all the resources that we have.

Focus on CO2 footprint
We set requirements for our suppliers in everything from cleaning, use of chemicals to food deliveries, food waste and to the maintenance of buildings and purchases of all kinds of consumer goods. Everything matters. Read more about criteria, etc. at Green Key

Our green suppliers

As a result of our sustainable focus, we make demands on all of our suppliers. Therefore, we are now, and in the future, ensuring that our consumer goods are, as far as possible, marked with the correct information symbolism, just as our suppliers themselves are environmentally certified.

Already in 2018, DGI Byen also took a step towards implementing more sustainable energy consumption in collaboration with the energy fond SustainSolutions. SustainSolutions still streamlines DGI Byen’s energy consumption and gives us considerable CO2 savings. DGI Byen’s guests can now enjoy a healthier indoor climate and take hot showers with a clear conscience. The renovation has among other offered LED lighting and new ventilation and energy systems that are expected to save more than 100 tonnes of CO2 annually.
