SUSTAINABLE
WAYS
When we say that we believe in creating hotels with care and attention, we mean it!
many goals
no finish line
At Brøchner Hotels, responsible hospitality is part of how we do business. From thoughtful sourcing and environmental initiatives to taking care of our people and the communities around our boutique hotels in Copenhagen.
As a B-Corp Certified hotel group, we're committed to making responsible choices, challenging the way things are done and finding new ways to do better.
Are we finished? Not even close.
Because building a more responsible future isn't about being perfect. It's about taking action, learning along the way and making better choices. One step at a time.
B-CORP CERTIFIed
and proud of it
Officially part of the B-Corp club. And it's a pretty good one to be in.
In May 2024, Brøchner Hotels became Copenhagen's first B-Corp Certified hotel chain, joining a global community of businesses committed to creating positive social and environmental impact.
But what does B-Corp certification actually mean?
It means looking beyond the hotel experience itself and examining how we operate as a business.
From the way we treat our colleagues and work with suppliers to our environmental practices, governance and impact on the communities around us.
Becoming B-Corp Certified meant putting our business under the microscope. The good. The challenges. And everything we could do better.
And we learned a lot.
For us, certification isn't a finish line or a shiny badge to show off. It's a commitment to accountability, transparency and continuous improvement.
core values
& un goals
Responsibility, Passion and Care. Three values that shape how we work, make decisions and treat the world around us.
Our responsibility strategy brings these values together across three focus areas:
Product, People and Planet.
To turn ambition into action, we've aligned our approach with three of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Because meaningful change starts with knowing where to focus.
RESPONSIBILITY
We take ownership of what we do. From thoughtful decisions to meaningful actions, we believe everyone can make a difference.
PASSION
We bring energy, creativity and personality to everything we do. Challenging the expected and making every detail count.
CARE
People come first. Our colleagues, guests, partners and neighbours. We believe in genuine connections and making everyone feel welcome.
Better stays
Better impact

WE TAKE ACTION
Good intentions are nice. Meaningful actions? Even better.
From what's on your breakfast plate to how we manage energy, reduce waste and support our local communities, responsibility shows up in the everyday details at Brøchner Hotels.
We don't claim to have all the answers. But we're taking action, measuring our progress and finding better ways forward.
BECAUSE MORNINGS MATTER
Breakfast matters. And so does what goes into it.
Our signature breakfast, Because Mornings Matter, features carefully selected organic ingredients, fresh flavours and homemade favourites. Our hotel breakfasts carry the Bronze Organic Cuisine Label, reflecting our commitment to organic sourcing.
Because a great morning should start with more than just good coffee.
NO WASTE, PLEASE
Good food deserves better than the bin.
We work to reduce food waste through thoughtful purchasing, portion-sized servings and careful planning. Across our hotels, we sort waste, measure consumption and look for opportunities to reuse more and throw away less.
GOOD PARTNERS. SHARED VALUES
Who we work with matters.
That's why our suppliers are required to follow our Supplier Code of Conduct, covering environmental legislation, labour standards and responsible business practices.
From the products we purchase to the partnerships we build, we believe responsibility extends beyond our own doors.
OUR COMMUNITY
Copenhagen is our home. Taking care of it comes naturally.
Through community initiatives like PASS IT ON and TRASH IT TOGETHER, we bring colleagues, guests and local communities together.
From giving clothing and useful items a second life to helping clean Copenhagen's streets and waterways, we're turning local love into meaningful action.
OUR TEAM
We are 100% about people. Both our guests, locals, suppliers, partners and of course our team. They are the heart of everything we do. In the next section, you can get more insights to our culture and how we ensure a positive impact on and the wellbeing of our employees.

Our electricity consumption is all covered by 100% renewable and CO2-neutral energy produced by Danish wind power.
NO PLASTIC, PLEASE

we take care
Great hospitality starts with great people. And taking care of them matters.
At Brøchner Hotels, we believe everyone deserves to feel welcome, valued and heard. From creating an inclusive workplace to encouraging personal growth, we want our colleagues to feel empowered to bring their personalities, ideas and ambitions to work.
Because behind every extraordinary guest experience is a team that makes it happen.
ONE TEAM. MANY PERSONALITIES
Different backgrounds. Shared ambitions. We celebrate individuality, welcome new perspectives and believe everyone deserves a voice.
WALK IN MY SHOES
Our ’out of office' days give colleagues a fresh perspective on each other's roles, responsibilities and everyday challenges.
TRUST GOES BOTH WAYS
Good ideas don't care about job titles. We encourage initiative, responsibility and learning from mistakes.
LEARN. GROW. REPEAT.
From Brøchner Academy and onboarding buddies to courses and educational opportunities, we invest in our people's development.
ONCE BRØCHNER. ALWAYS BRØCHNER
Our Brøchner Alumni community keeps former colleagues connected, with familiar faces, special perks and an open invitation to stay in touch.
we evolve
When it comes to sustainability, there is never an end-goal or final list. We continuously strive to become better and better.
To be part of a sustainable future, there are many essential actions to establish already today. So, we need specific sustainable goals for Brøchner Hotels to ensure our actions.
We have set 69 sustainable goals - ranging from CO2-neutral units and a 100% reuse strategy to voluntary days for all Brøchner colleagues.
All 69 sustainable goals are to be achieved by 2030.
