Sustainability

Our Nature

The nature around us is amazing, which we never cease to marvel at. Therefore, we care incredibly much about the environment and think sustainably in everything we do. We are also proud that we are Swan-certified and meet their strict environmental and climate requirements.

Sustainable Menus

Running over to the neighboring farm to pick carrots to serve at the wedding dinner? Almost. We love locally sourced products and we choose them for several reasons. There is especially a fantastic amount of good things to enjoy in our vicinity. Quality, reliability of delivery, and sustainability are important factors, but also caring for the producers that are close to us. Therefore, most of our ingredients come from local suppliers and Swedish farms.

We actively work to a greater extent to serve Swedish meat. When selecting a supplier, we consider several factors, such as consistent and high-quality ingredients as well as the ability to deliver the volumes required to meet our demand. Currently, we have not yet found a Swedish supplier that can ensure both the quality and the volumes that our business requires, but this is an area we continuously develop and follow up on.

Our efforts to stay at the forefront when it comes to environmental and quality thinking make us prefer organic options and compost our leftovers. This is also evident in how we continuously expand the range of vegetarian and vegan alternatives.

As part of Hooks Herrgård's sustainability work, a collaboration with Karma has begun to reduce food waste and the goal is to not have any food leftovers after lunch. By downloading Karma's app you can purchase meals that are left over after lunch at a favorable price. Create an account and follow Hooks Herrgård to access the meals, which are posted after lunchtime as needed.

Sustainability in more ways at the estate

The warm feeling at Hooks Herrgård comes both from us on staff and also thanks to pellets from Hok, which provide heating for the entire facility. In addition, we use a food waste grinder that turns leftover food into biogas and are gradually replacing our golf machines with electric ones.

Hooks Herrgård strives for an open business climate and high ethics, but mistakes can happen even with us. If you have discovered any irregularities, inaccuracies, or violations of the law, you can use our whistleblower service which is handled by an external party, Human & Heart, to ensure your anonymity.

Our housekeeping team actively works to wash as little as possible, among other things by encouraging guests to use the same towel and bathrobe during their stay and not to clean the room on stay-over days unless the guest requests it. This not only saves water but also prolongs the life of the textiles.

We simply do what we can to reduce our climate impact.
