"We have received several awards during the year and have worked actively to share our sustainability efforts through initiatives such as our integration work for chefs, our organic children's menu and our hotels that have been recertified to comply with new, stricter Nordic Ecolabel requirements. It is, of course, extremely gratifying that the highest-ranked digital influencers on Twitter have picked up on these efforts as well as Scandic's well-known sustainability initiatives over the years," says Inger Mattsson, Sustainability Director at Scandic.
