• We do not book flights for journalists travelling from Scandinavia, and we encourage travel by train or bus.
• Flights made by journalists, and which Göteborg & Co pays for, will be included in the City of Gothenburg’s internal carbon pricing system.
• Upon arrival in Gothenburg, we do not provide taxi services to hotels. Instead, we refer visitors to public transport or VY Airport Coaches.
• When taxi travel is necessary, we use Cab Online, which is procured by the City of Gothenburg. Cab Online strives to be a completely climate neutral company by transitioning to fossil fuel free vehicles by 2030. We always request electric cars as first choice.
• When arranging walking tours, both within the city and beyond, we walk or use public transportation where possible.
• We do not hand out printed press folders and programmes. Instead, we provide this information digitally.
• We only use sustainability certified hotels.
• We mainly use restaurants that work actively with sustainability and/or have a sustainability certification.
• We do not use single use disposable items, and we avoid single use products for takeaway.
• We encourage journalists to bring a water bottle to refill during their trip, since all tap water in Sweden is potable.
• We issue the digital “A guide to sustainable Gothenburg” to all journalists before arrival. The guide includes sustainability information as well as information about littering laws, non-smoking zones, the Swedish Sex Purchase Act, and more.
• We report all discrepancies, and we aspire to have no discrepancies at all.
