The easy decisions and actions have already been made by the hotel, and many Danish hotels have already invested in climate, but it is difficult to see. The Climate Map enables you to choose the most climate friendly hotel already in the booking phase.
As a company you are in the unique situation that you can influence the hotels. When you choose hotels to host conferences or place overnight stays, ask for documentation of their climate work and choose based on this. This means that you do not have to compromise with the climate when meetings or events are to be held away from home.

In addition to the climate map we have gathered some easy advice and thoughts that you can consider before your stay so you can minimize your climate footprint.
When choosing a hotel, consider this:

Then we can minimize our footprint by choosing a hotel close to public transportation - Is it more convenient to get around by car / taxi?
Then choose hotels that are close to your destinations and encourage your colleagues to try an electric car or local electric car services
