Operation Penguin

Operation Penguin is the name of the project leading to the ISO 14001 accreditation of all Choice hotels before the end of 2009. ”Penguin” is our eco-management system, which is to be implemented throughout all our hotels in the Nordic countries. The eco-management system is established according to the internationally recognised ISO 14001 standard and will be accredited through the ’Det Norske Veritas’ (DNV).

The transport and travel sector accounts for 20% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. Choice Hotels Scandinavia AS, the largest hotel chain in Scandinavia, is part of this problem. So we have to be part of the solution too. Choice accepts the responsibility and we set a high standard with regard to our environmental performance. For many years we have focussed on how to reduce the use of energy, water and chemicals. We wish to intensify our environmental effort even more with the ISO-accreditation. There are many very good environmental standards, which will document the environmental protective work carried out by a company. Choice has selected the internationally recognised ISO 14001 eco-management systems; because it fits with those visions and activities we are undertaking. One important keyword for the ISO-standard is constant improvement and our eco-management system has been established with dynamic and ambitious environmental protection work in mind. In November 2007 Choice and Det Norske Veritas signed an agreement for DNV to be the accreditation body.
