SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND INCLUSION 

We have a strong commitment to social responsibility and inclusion. As a proud employer and service provider, we strive to make a positive contribution to society. We actively partner with organizations that share our values and promote diversity, inclusion, and social development.  

Welcoming hotels  

 
Diversity is also in focus when it comes to guests. Everyone should feel welcome at Scandic. This is why we have made our hotels and offerings as accessible as possible. We work according to an Accessibility Standard that consists of more than 100 points. Among other things, we have developed an allergy standard and offer allergy-friendly rooms.

All of these efforts form a holistic commitment to our team members, guests and society. 

Diversity and Inclusion 

We welcome people with different backgrounds and abilities. This work is governed by our culture platform and Diversity & Inclusion Policy. We follow up on outcomes – our employee surveys show that team members generally feel included at work. 

Health & Wellbeing 

Scandic is better for both guests and team members when our team members are healthy and feel good about their work. We have implemented a number of initiatives, including: 

  • Opportunities for employee growth through Scandic Academy 
  • A culture platform and Leadership Compass to increase employee engagement and decision-making  
  • Training programs and collaborations to prevent trafficking, prostitution, drug use and destructive alcohol consumption 
  • Scandic Health Club to spread exercise and food inspiration 

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.
