Corporate Social Responsibility

Hasselbacken protects the environment
Hasselbacken became an established name in the restaurant industry in the 1760s and has since been a hub for both culture and entertainment. In order for Hasselbacken to remain so for many years to come and for future generations to enjoy what Djurgården has to offer, our sustainability work is a top priority, both in the management team and in our daily work.

ISO Certification - 14001
As part of our sustainability work, Circus Venues has chosen to undergo an ISO Certification which refers to the group's work towards reducing the total environmental impact. However, the ongoing work does not stop here. To maintain the certification, Cirkus Venues needs to work with the sustainability work approved by the ISO certification on a daily basis.
