Sustainable tourism & Stromma

Environmental, economic and social in focus

Our vision is to deliver world class experiences to our guests, and we want to do so responsibly and sustainably. Here you find some examples of what we do. Stromma's ambition is to make sustainability a part of everything we do and be present in all our business activities. We want to take lead in the tourism industry and make sustainability a priority. We work towards reducing our use of resources, purchases and use raw materials with the best possible environmental performance whenever possible. And we will continuously measure and strive to improve our performance.

We offer experiences with focus on sightseeing tours, entertainment and activities for tourists and local residents in Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Norway, the Netherlands and Germany.

Our sustainability strategy

Our ambition is to make sustainability a part of everything we do and integrated in all our business activities. We want to take the lead in the tourism industry and make sustainability a priority. We work towards replacing fossil fuels with renewable fuels, reducing our use of resources, purchase and use raw materials with the best possible environmental performance whenever possible. And we will continuously measure and strive to improve our performance. We want to be an active voice for increased knowledge on environmental issues and take part in discussions that relate to our business, the tourism industry.

What are our goals?

As a roadmap to achieve a better future for the whole world by 2030, United Nations (UN) have formulated The Sustainable Development Goals. Stromma's sustainability goals are based on the UN global goals and adapted to our business in each country and each destination where we are located.

Stromma's environmental work

We focus primarily on two pillars: fuel and food.

For FUEL, we work to reduce our climate emissions by replacing fossil fuels with renewable fuels and by increased energy efficiency. This applies to fuels for our vehicles, primarily boats and buses, as well as our use of energy and electricity in our other facilities.

For FOOD, we focus on increasing the amount of certified food and beverages in our cafés and restaurants, increasing waste recycling opportunities in harbors, on minimizing food waste and on reducing and handling the grey water discharge from the boats.

Our social work

We focus on our people, on issues in the communities where we operate and on larger issues where we may have an impact in general. Education, training and reskilling along with integration and equality are our focus areas. We offer reskilling and certifications for new and potential staff. This not only helps Stromma in a market with shortage of skilled staff. It also provides our people with more opportunities for a career with us or elsewhere.

Our business offer opportunities to enter or remain in the job market. Many of our seasonal staff – locals or internationals – have their first job with us. We work for integration and diversity in our organisation and hire many internationals and act as the first step for them towards a career and life at our locations. We support the UN Sustainable Development Goal number 5: Gender equality, and are working on a broader and more structured plan for equality, inclusion, and diversity within and outside the company.
