KITCHENS THAT WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Sustainability tastes great
Bühlmann kitchens are not afraid to make a difference, and this is clearly reflected in our daily work. We constantly focus on how we can make your plate sustainable and tasty at the same time. Below you can read some of the kitchens’ green initiatives:

INGREDIENTS WITH CARE
We keep it organic & local
Common to all our Bühlmann’s restaurants is that the ingredients are selected with great care. Our chefs always prioritise organic and local ingredients – so you can eat and drink with a clear conscience in all our hotels.
- We buy meat from Danish producers who place emphasis on animal welfare, for example from HimmerlandandRokkedahl
- We put the local producers first and have, for example, a close collaboration with Thy Whiskey, Aalborg Chokoladen, Vin og Specialiteter, Staarup Haandbryg, Aabybro Mejeriand Tolne Gjæstgivergaard
- We prioritise buying organic ingredients, for example from Hestbjerg Økologi, Bies Bryggeri and Lille Østergaards Økologi
- We grow our own vegetables, herbs and berries at several of our hotels
GREEN COLLABORATORS
We do not compromise
For us, it is important that those we work with have a green profile that matches our values. We therefore work with producers and suppliers who are either local, organic or sustainable in their approach.
- We procure on the basis of our sustainable guidelines in our procurement policy, where the priority is long-term and resource-saving products
- We select interiors that are both certified and environmentally approved
- We work with manufacturers and suppliers who live up to certain requirements in relation to sustainability, for example Peter Larsen Kaffe and Circular Coffee Community
- We have increased our focus on working with local entrepreneurs to help grow businesses

AMBITIOUS GOALS
We want to make a difference
At the Bühlmann hotels, we have come a long way in terms of sustainability and green solutions, and we are of course incredibly proud of that. However, we must stress that sustainability is not something that is ever achieved. We are constantly evolving and improving. That is why we have set ourselves a number of ambitious targets, which we are constantly striving to achieve.
