Sustainability

At Münchenbryggeriet, we take pride not only in our deep historical roots but also in our commitment to shaping a greener future. We recognize the importance of immediate actions to preserve our tomorrow and are fully aware that conferences, events, exhibitions, banquets, and travel impact our planet. We take this responsibility very seriously. Our initiatives support several of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, with a particular focus on Goals 8, 11, and 12. When you choose Münchenbryggeriet for your event, you are actively contributing to a more sustainable future.

Our commitment to fair labor conditions and economic development is an integral part of our core business. As proud members of Visita, we strive for gender equality and equal pay for equal work. Through our efforts in the hospitality industry, we promote social integration and create pathways into the job market.

We place sustainable consumption and production at the center of all our operations. By favoring environmentally friendly products and aiming for a business that is nearly free of plastic and single-use items, we not only support local suppliers but also contribute to reduced environmental impact.

Energy consumption is a significant part of our environmental footprint. We continuously work to reduce and optimize it, with the goal of reducing consumption per visitor by 10% by 2024. Naturally, we are powered entirely by environmentally certified electricity from renewable sources, currently 100% hydropower.

Our aim is to significantly reduce our waste volume through preventive measures, reduction, reuse, and recycling. With a concrete goal to reduce our waste by 10% by 2024, we take important steps toward a more sustainable operation.

An essential part of our sustainability journey has been actively involving all our employees. Through education and dialogue, they have gained in-depth knowledge of sustainability issues and have been involved in shaping our strategy. Their commitment and insights are crucial to our success.

At Münchenbryggeriet, we are dedicated to continually improving our sustainability efforts. We see it not only as a responsibility but also as an opportunity to be a pioneer in a more sustainable and responsible hospitality industry. Together, we can make a real difference!

Our Sustainability Work

Ecolabelled Event

In our commitment to sustainability, we also offer guidance on selecting suitable tools and certifications for environmentally conscious events. One such initiative is the ‘Eco-Labeled Event,’ created by Keep Sweden Tidy (Håll Sverige Rent). This certification, with its meticulous checklist and personalized guidance, assists event organizers in planning and conducting events with increased environmental consideration.

Another important tool in our sustainability toolkit is the ‘Sustainable Event’ online platform, which provides inspiration and support for sustainability efforts. This tool goes beyond environmental aspects and includes social sustainability in the planning process, reflecting our holistic approach to sustainability issues.

For more information and guidance on how to integrate these sustainability tools into your next event, do not hesitate to contact us. We are here to support you in your pursuit of a more sustainable and responsible event planning.

Security

For us, safety is fundamental. We strive to provide a secure experience for all visitors through meticulous procedures, clear communication, and well-trained staff. Our safety strategy reflects our commitment to social sustainability.

We view safety as more than just physical security; it is about creating an inclusive and welcoming atmosphere. Through this approach, we contribute to a fair and sustainable world, aligning with our values and global responsibility.

Environment

At our facility, environmental consciousness is not just a part of our operations; it is at the core of it. Proudly bearing the Swan eco-label, we guarantee a high standard in our environmental efforts. From carefully selected eco-labeled products in our daily operations to active collaboration with suppliers and subcontractors, we ensure that our environmental impact is minimized.

Our energy supply is 100% renewable, currently 100% hydroelectric power. This respects the environment, climate, as well as plant and animal life.

Innovation permeates our environmental work. For example, switching to washable cloths has reduced our laundry volume by approximately 35%, which not only saves water and energy but also frees up time for our staff for other important tasks.

Furthermore, we aim to reduce our waste and maximize recycling. With approximately 90% of our waste being recycled and 100% of food waste converted into biogas, we demonstrate that every step counts in the pursuit of a more sustainable future.

Social Sustainability

At Münchenbryggeriet, social sustainability is an issue that permeates every aspect of our operations, and this is reflected in our core values: to be unpretentious, flexible, and reliable. In our facility, we prioritize accessibility and inclusion. With well-planned ramps, accessible elevators, adapted restrooms, and meeting rooms, we ensure that all our guests, regardless of their personal circumstances, have an equitable and memorable experience. Our lack of pretentiousness shines through in our efforts to create an open and welcoming environment for everyone.

Our commitment to being flexible and reliable is clearly evident in our approach to our employees. They are our greatest asset, and we strive to create a working environment characterized by health, safety, and personal development. By actively involving our staff in our core values work and encouraging them to contribute their unique insights and experiences, we have been able to create a workplace where diversity is valued, and every individual feels appreciated.

As engaged members of Visita, the leading industry and employer organization for the Swedish hospitality industry, we actively participate in shaping a sustainable future for the industry. Through Visita, which is part of the Confederation of Swedish Enterprise (Svenskt Näringsliv), we are involved in collective bargaining negotiations and contribute to creating a sustainable and responsible industry.

Food & Beverage

At Münchenbryggeriet, sustainability isn’t just a part of our business philosophy; it’s at the core of everything we do. We take our responsibility for the environment seriously and strive to continually reduce our carbon footprint. Through our partnership with KLIMATO, we have a scientific and measurable approach to understanding and reducing the environmental impact of our meals. This initiative directly contributes to achieving the UN’s global sustainable development goals, particularly those focused on responsible consumption and climate action.

Our menus are carefully planned to offer organic, locally sourced, and plant-based options, benefiting both the environment and our guests’ health. We provide a wide range of organic beverages, including our own Münchenbryggeriet organic beer, which is a step towards more sustainable consumption.

We challenge ourselves every day to reduce food waste through innovative methods, such as using smaller plates and optimizing serving platters at our buffets, and ensuring that every plate we serve is a commitment to care for our planet. Our Swan-labeled commitment also means that we set high standards for our suppliers, making wise procurement choices to reduce our carbon footprint and contribute to a more sustainable future.

Our belief that good food can make a difference drives us to continually improve and innovate. By integrating sustainability into every aspect of our operations, from procurement to waste management, Münchenbryggeriet sets an example for the meetings industry!

It is important to make sustainable choices easy and natural. We are climate-labelling our menus in order to calculate and minimize our carbon footprint.
