We support the principles of the UN Global Compact (UNGC), the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and the Paris Agreement.

The policy guides us in decision-making and in our daily work. It applies to all Miramis Sweden companies, the Board of Directors, and all our employees.

Our Responsibility
It is our responsibility to actively contribute to well-being, equal opportunities, and a minimized environmental footprint throughout the entire value chain. Based on our impact, stakeholder expectations, and external requirements, we have defined six focus areas for our sustainability work:

- Memorable experiences
- Sustainable food & beverage
- Mutually beneficial partnerships
- Attractive employer
- Innovative development

We strive to continuously improve our sustainability work.

Control

The Board of Directors of Miramis Sweden bears ultimate responsibility for the implementation of this policy and for sustainability efforts within Miramis Sweden. Each manager is responsible for ensuring that employees are familiar with the policy and understand what it means for their roles and responsibilities.

All employees should understand how they contribute to Miramis Sweden’s sustainability efforts; therefore, Miramis Sweden offers ongoing training in sustainability.

All employees are encouraged and expected to share suggestions for improvement and report deviations or suspected violations of the policy. Reporting will not result in any reprisals or other negative consequences for those who report in good faith.

Deviations are documented, and an action plan is developed to prevent similar deviations in the future.

ISO Certification – 14001

As part of our sustainability efforts, the operations run under the Hasselbacken, Backstage, and Cirkus brands—along with their associated support processes—have chosen to undergo ISO certification aimed at reducing the group’s overall environmental impact. But the ongoing work doesn’t stop there. To maintain the certification, the operations must implement the sustainability measures approved by the ISO certification every day.

Royal Djurgården's sustainability efforts are gaining international attention

Djurgården is one of the world’s most sustainable urban destinations. That’s according to the organization Green Destinations, which awarded Djurgården its highest honor, the Green Destinations Platinum Award, in 2022. The award is given to destinations that excel in sustainability efforts across multiple areas. The criteria include sustainable management, animals and nature, environment and climate, culture and tradition, social sustainability, and hospitality. The criteria are based on the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals under the 2030 Agenda. In an independent review, Djurgården’s sustainability efforts over the past six years are highlighted as “an inspiration for other metropolitan destinations, demonstrating that it is possible to operate sustainably even in such settings.”
