Thinking about sustainability is for us natural and important!
A natural part of our development has been to think about how we in our business can contribute to sustainable development. For us, sustainable development means that future generations can live with a good healthy environment. We strive to offer services and products with the least possible environmental impact and we are constantly working to improve and at the same time reduce our environmental impact. Our committed employees are incredibly important in the active process of improving our sustainability work. Our philosophy is to be a safe and secure destination and workplace while minimizing our environmental impact.
Our sustainability work at KustCamp
Energy & Water
We use electricity marked with Good Environmental Choice. We work to provide lighting with sensors for presence adjustment and only LED or low-energy lamps are purchased. The water for our service house on Ekön and the service house on Sjöängen in Gamleby is heated by solar energy. We have charged all showers to reduce water consumption.
Social Sustainability
For us, social sustainability is important. We are collectively connected to Visita, ensure that our workplace is safe, secure and we work with good working conditions. We work with diversity and inclusion in our staff. During the summer offers holiday internships for young people. We sponsor local associations with youth activities: Gamleby Ridklubb, Västerviks Speedway and Åtvidabergs Fotboll. All pledges left with us go in full to the Mamazebra Foundation in Africa.
Recycling
For us, it is important that it is possible to sort the waste, therefore a recycling station is found at both our campsites. We have vessels for plastic, cardboard, glass, metal and deposit. We work towards sorting food waste at our campsites.
Purchase
It is important to us that our suppliers work with ethical and sustainable trade. We strive for our purchases to be reusable products. Where disposable items cannot be avoided, products with eco-labels are used.
Cleaning
We only buy cleaning products that are eco-labeled. Cleaning cloths are washed so that they can be reused and thus reduce material consumption. In our service houses, we do major cleaning with Biogen, which is a 100% natural cleaning agent based on whey. We use suppliers marked with the Nordic Ecolabel for laundry.
Transport
When transporting, we choose means of transport of more environmentally friendly alternatives, cars powered by electricity or biogas are used in the first place.
