Sustainability and Social Responsibility

At Oslo Spektrum, we believe that together, we can make a positive impact and contribute to a more sustainable world. We hold ourselves, our customers, suppliers, and partners to the highest standards, striving to minimize the climate and environmental footprint of every event hosted at our venue.

Our business strategy is aligned with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, and we prioritize actions that lead to long-term, positive change in sustainability and social responsibility. This commitment is at the core of everything we do, and we maintain a high level of awareness throughout the entire organization.

We are also dedicated to fostering social sustainability by operating within responsible frameworks that promote decent working conditions and generate positive ripple effects in our community. While we comply with government regulations, we are also driven by our own ambitions—particularly in areas where we can make the greatest impact.

Your Role in Sustainability

As our customer and partner, we ask you to join us in our efforts to operate sustainably and responsibly. We encourage you to consider the following recommendations when planning your event to minimize its environmental footprint:

Green Transportation: Opt for sustainable transportation solutions for goods and equipment. We recommend working with providers who use low-emission vehicles and ensuring all transport aligns with green practices.

Public Transport Accessibility: Encourage your attendees to use public transport. With Oslo Spektrum’s proximity to Norway’s largest public transport hub and direct connections to Oslo International Airport, getting to and from the venue by train, tram, or zero-emission bus is easy and convenient. We’re happy to provide guidance to help your attendees navigate Oslo’s transport system.

Sustainable Catering: Collaborate with our skilled food and beverage team to ensure that food choices minimize emissions and waste. We aim to reduce food waste by ordering appropriately, sourcing locally, and using sustainable ingredients whenever possible.
Waste Reduction: Minimize the use of non-recyclable materials in decorations, marketing materials, brochures, and giveaways. We can help you find ways to reduce material use or repurpose items for future events, ensuring a more sustainable approach.

Eco-friendly Accommodation: Choose environmentally certified hotels within walking distance of the venue. With over 7,000 hotel beds just a 10-minute walk away, attendees can easily access accommodation without the need for transport, reducing emissions from travel.
