SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND INCLUSION 

Safety & Security 

Anything can happen at hotels. That is why we work systematically to keep them safe and secure. We do this through initiatives such as 

• Staff training 

• Crisis management exercises  

• Fire safety and evacuation courses for team members 

• First aid training for team members 

• Access to emergency help from a 24-hour crisis call center run by trained staff 

Anti-corruption

We comply with relevant rules and legislation to eliminate, discover and handle all forms of corruption. Anti-corruption is part of our Code of Conduct for team members and Supplier Code of Conduct. One addition to the Code of Conduct is our Anti- Corruption Policy.  

Deviations from policies can be reported anonymously through our  whistleblowing service, which is available both internally and externally. 

Scandic in Society 

Since 2001, “Scandic in Society” has been our way of taking responsibility within the communities where we operate. Each year, our team members roll up their sleeves and carry out hundreds of local activities. Hotels participate in at least three activities, such as anti-food waste initiatives, children and youth activations, integration and inclusion efforts, sports activities, and work experiences and trainings. 

Animal welfare 

Promoting animal welfare is a priority for us. We advocate for sustainable farming practices where livestock graze naturally and the use of antibiotics is minimized. All our suppliers must adhere to local laws and regulations on animal welfare, as outlined in our Supplier Code of Conduct and Sustainable Procurement Guidelines. You can find all our policies here. 

Cage-free eggs policy  

We only use cage-free eggs – including whole eggs, liquid eggs, and eggs used as ingredients.  

European chicken commitment 

We support the European Chicken Commitment (ECC) or equivalent standards. By increasing demand for ECC-certified chicken, we hope to contribute to the growth of its supply. 

You can find more information about the European Chicken Commitment (ECC) and Scandic’s ECC report here 

We also actively seek partners who share our vision of creating great experiences for our guests that are also in harmony with the planet.
