Sustainability

So, what do we do at Stocken camping?

We invest in sustainable and environmentally friendly alternatives and continuously review what in the business can be replaced. Collaboration with and sponsorship of local associations’ and companies’ events is just as natural, as building relationships with and contracting local and regional contractors for new construction and maintenance work.

Store

Our basic range of food is supplemented, or replaced, as time goes on with climate-smart alternatives and we are happy to bring in products from local producers. The rest of the range follows the same guideline.

On the campsite

For instance:

All cleaning products used in the business have been replaced with environmentally friendly equivalents. In the laundry rooms, all washing machines have been equipped with automatic self-dosing to avoid overdosing, and detergents and fabric softeners are both environmentally and allergy friendly.

The showers in the service buildings are low-flush and chargeable, and all wash basins are equipped with touchless, low-flush taps to help keep water consumption down.

The lighting in the service buildings is equipped with presence sensors and all older luminaires, including in the rental cabins, are replaced with LED lighting.

The larger cottages and mobile homes all have air source heat pumps and old radiators removed. In the small cottages, the radiators have thermostats with a set maximum heat that cannot be exceeded. Old windows and doors are also being replaced to avoid energy waste.

Ahead of the 2023 season, work began on replacing the old fossil heating systems in the larger service buildings. The work on service building number 1 is finished and the new system has been up and running for two years. It is an air/water heating system that has also been supplemented with solar collectors/solar heat to heat the water. During the 2025 season, work will begin on making the same change in Service building number 2.

Sorting of waste

We have zero tolerance for litter on the campsite and our beaches, so we have plenty of trash cans out on site. In our garbage yards, it is possible to sort waste into different categories and we also have a depositmachine for swedish PET-bottles and sodacans, (swedish “pant”) next to the store. Adjacent to the campsite is the municipality’s environmental station, which we also refer our guests to.

Machinery

Since the campsite is long and stretched, we use electric cars (golf carts) and cycle or walk in the daily activities. The company car and all motorized hand tools are electric.

Electric car charging

The campsite also offers public charging stations for electric cars. At the moment, there are four with the possibility of doubling the number.

Social sustainability

Currently, five people are employed full-time and we offer annually, through seasonal employment, opportunities for young people to get a good start in working life in a safe and secure workplace. We have an agreement with Visita for the safety of our employees and do not accept victimisation or harassment in any form – with us, everyone is equal.

Guest safety

At the campsite, we are constantly working with the safety of the guests in mind, especially during the high season, we follow and place all the vehicles in place to guarantee safety distances between the vehicles. Fire extinguishers, which are inspected every year, are available throughout the campsite and are marked on the area maps on our information boards as well as in our brochure, which all guests receive upon check-in. We also have a defibrillator at the reception and offer all our employees CPR training.

Tourism

On our website www.stockencamping.se and in our Info-point cabin, we provide tips and information about activities and attractions both locally and regionally.
