We are environmentally certified
We take the environment seriously, and all our destinations are environmentally certified.
Camping takes place in close contact with nature, and Topcamp is proud to work in harmony with nature through our sustainability ambitions, reflected in the Green Key certification at all our destinations. Green Key is an international environmental certification for accommodation providers.
As a guest at a Topcamp destination, you can be sure that we have gone to great lengths to ensure that your stay is as comfortable and enjoyable as possible, while continuously working to minimize our environmental impact.
Green Key-certified businesses meet strict environmental requirements within the following 13 areas: environmental management, staff involvement, guest information, water, washing and cleaning, waste, energy, food, indoor climate, outdoor areas, social responsibility, environmental activities, administration and conferences.
How to contribute:
There are also several things you, as a guest, can do to contribute to the environment. For example:
- Turn off the lights when you leave the cabin.
- Sort waste at our recycling stations.
- Don’t use more paper than necessary when you are in the restroom or communal kitchen.
- Drink water straight from the tap (avoid plastic bottles).
- Don’t let the water run if you’re not using it.
- Take shorter showers.
- Waste as little food as possible.
- Use public transport when possible.
Sustainable Tourism
Our purpose with environmental certification is to promote sustainable tourism and contribute to preventing climate change. Green Key aims to change practices and behaviors among tourism stakeholders, including guests, businesses, authorities, and local communities, towards sustainability. This is achieved by increasing awareness among both employees and guests, promoting sustainable practices and the use of technology, supporting environmentally friendly and responsible businesses, and reducing energy and resource consumption.
Green Key is one of the largest global environmental certification schemes for accommodation facilities, with over 2700 certified businesses in 56 countries. The scheme is the only environmental certification for accommodation facilities in Norway that has achieved the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) Recognized award.
