Comfort Hotel Solna has been nominated for the prestigious Social Impact Leader award at this year's Unfold Awards, an award that highlights hotel operations that demonstrate exceptional leadership in sustainability and social responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Unfold Awards is an industry award that recognizes groundbreaking initiatives and innovations within the hotel and experience industry, with a particular focus on sustainability, social impact and the future of guest experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The rationale behind the nomination focuses on the hotel's wholehearted work to integrate ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) principles throughout its operations \u2013 from groundbreaking climate initiatives to inclusive workplaces and community engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since opening in 2021, Comfort Hotel Solna has had a clear goal: to become the most sustainable hotel in the Nordic region. As the first Zero Energy hotel in the Nordic region, the hotel annually produces more energy than it consumes \u2013 thanks to the world's most solar-intensive hotel building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 We are incredibly proud of our vision and that our hard work is recognized in this way. It's not just about technology, but about the people, the values and every decision we make in our everyday lives, says Sam Radstake Nissen, Hotel Director at Comfort Hotel Solna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through innovative solutions such as zoned room temperatures, energy-saving routines and smart allocation of guest rooms depending on energy needs, the hotel has managed to significantly reduce its energy use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The hotel is actively working to reduce food waste by reusing leftovers in new dishes and offering leftover food via Too Good To Go \u2013 which has so far saved over 700 lunch boxes and reduced CO\u2082 emissions by nearly 2 tons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Through a unique partnership with the organization Foodloopz, the hotel grows its own vegetables and fruits on a nearby plot. Food waste is composted and used as fertilizer, and the hotel's own beehive contributes both local honey and biodiversity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Comfort Hotel Solna collaborates with Solna City and the organization Jobbentre to offer adapted jobs to people who are further away from the labor market. During the summer of 2024, the hotel also participated in Solna City's initiative for youth employment, where as many as 20 summer workers got a valuable start in working life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
