Sustainability
At HUONE, sustainability means having a strong focus on people, culture and the environment our conference center is part of. Our facilities and rooms are located in a facility that aims to be one of Copenhagen’s most sustainable buildings with solar panels, waste sorting/recycling and district heating and cooling. Our creative DNA is founded on a strong belief in the individual’s strengths and personality, and we regard well-being and a good work atmosphere as essential to our team. Our meetings and events are organised through sustainable guidelines and criteria. Read more here.
