CARBON REDUCTION

Client families are booked to travel in groups and transfers arranged to reduce fuel consumption and environmental impact. Tromsø is only a short 10 minute drive from the airport. All activities are delivered by a fully qualified, local guide who knows the area and how to respect it.

Clarion Hotel Admiral, is part of the Strawberry Hotel Group. This company offers their guests the opportunity to select ‘Green Stay’ by choosing to skip daily room cleans. The hotel reduces its use of energy, water and chemicals and donates saved funds to projects which strive to reduce carbon emissions and support for a number of startups that develop sustainable solutions for hotels.

ENVIRONMENT & WILDLIFE

Since 2007, the Strawberry Hotel Group has bought "renewable guarantees" from Ishavskraft. Where possible, they have converted to renewable energy sources and several of their hotels have invested in geothermal heating and solar energy.

All cleaning products used by the hotel are classified and they are making a conscious effort to reduce and ultimately eliminate red and yellow chemicals to contribute to a cleaner safer environment for wildlife and people.

LOCAL ECONOMY

Every December, Clarion Hotel Admiral carefully selects local organisations to work with as part of their Lonely Christmas Tree Seeking Gifts initiative. The hotel collects Christmas presents underneath their tree and donates them to disadvantaged children and young people.

The Clarion Hotel Admiral takes social responsibility very seriously. Together with their local coffee supplier, Löfbergs Lila, the hotel group supports a project in Honduras which aims to teach female farmers how to grow organic coffee. Clarion Hotel Admiral makes a conscious effort to only serve Faritrade coffee.

EMPLOYMENT, INCLUSIVITY AND DIVERSITY

The Strawberry Hotel Group strongly believes in equality. They actively live out their mission in many ways including working with Samhall to create developing work for people with various disabilities and collaborating with NAV and Folkeuniversitetet Sør-East to give job seekers the opportunity of employment.

This group of hotels is also a proud sponsor of Pride in the Nordics. Petter A. Stordalen, founder of the Strawberry Hotel Group believes, "People with different backgrounds, skills, orientations and languages contribute to creating better solutions, better workplaces and a better guest experience. That's why we proudly raise the rainbow-coloured flag during Pride."
