Corporate Social Responsibility

Sustainability at Hotel Birger Jarl

A sustainable way of working involves environmental work as well as social and ethical issues.
Our Corporate Social Responsibility is an important part of our DNA - All profits from our hotels go to our owners, Immanuel Church, who in turn help under-privileged groups through various partnerships and charity projects both in Sweden and around the world. This means that you automatically contribute to a positive thing - just by staying at our hotel or having a conference with us!

Giving People

Giving People is a help organization that works to counteract financial vulnerability and child poverty that exists in Sweden. We support Giving People with different efforts throughout the year.

Green Key

Hotel Birger Jarl has been awarded the international eco-label Green Key. We work actively with environmental and sustainability issues while following Green Key's detailed criteria.

Karma

We work actively in order to minimize food waste. Through our partnership with the organization Karma we are able to discount leftover food that otherwise would be thrown away.

Tjejzonen

We support Tjejzonen which is Sweden's largest support organization for girls between the ages 10-25. They fight for the right to be listened to and strive to decrease mental health and social vulnerability.

Hotels Against Trafficking

Hotel Birger Jarl supports RealStars, a non-profit organization that works against human trafficking both within Sweden and the EU.
Our staff members are trained in how to react when suspicious of trafficking and prostitution.

Nores

We work with Nores, a member-owned purchasing organization with extensive experience from the hotel and restaurant industry.
