Food & beverage
At Scandic, we have high ambitions for the food and drinks we serve. And being certified by the Nordic Swan Ecolabel means we can focus on many important areas. This includes not serving red-listed fish species and ensuring that all fish and seafood are certified as sustainable.
We also do not serve genetically modified food or bottled water, and we aim to increase the share of locally produced food. Naturally, we always do our best to reduce food waste.
We aim to serve more plant-based food to benefit people and planet, with the goal to serve 60 percent plant-based food by 2030. To achieve this, we offer digital training courses for chefs and other restaurant staff.
