Sustainability

Sustainability is inportant for us at Ragnerud


We act responsibly and long-term. We are constantly working to improve our sustainability and take this into account in the decisions we make in our business. This is based on the environmental aspect, the social and our own economic sustainability. We want ourselves and our guests to make as little impact on the environment as possible.


When you see this logo on the facility, you have the opportunity to help and learn a little more about how we at Ragnerud work with sustainability.

What is sustainability?


Many people think primarily of climate and the environment when they hear the term sustainability.

But sustainability includes three aspects that you need to take into account in all decisions and in any development projects


- SOCIAL

- ECONOMIC

- CLIMATE & ENVIRONMENTAL

These things form the basis for everything else and can be said to be our life insurance. It is a matter of doing business in such a way that we can retain functioning ecosystem services that provide us with clean air, clean water, filtering of UV rays, insects that pollinate the plants and so on.

The human dimension. How does your business affect yourself and everyone around you? It is a matter of employee well-being among other things, but also a matter of everyone having access to Earth's resources in a fair and equal fashion. To respect human rights.

The economical dimension – live on nature's dividends, don't consume its capital. It is a matter of planning for the long term and not focusing on maximum income in the short term. How does your business combat poverty and stay within the limits of the ecological framework?
