Sustainability is our driving force

Travel with care – for the future

At Sembo, we want to make it easier for you to travel sustainably – today and for generations to come. We know that travel impacts the environment, and that’s why we’re working actively to offer smarter choices that make a difference.

How we help you travel more sustainably

Eco-friendly hotels – easier than ever
You can now easily find hotels that meet international sustainability standards on our site. We work with the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) and already offer access to more than 15,000 certified eco-friendly accommodations around the world – and the number keeps growing.
What does it mean for a hotel to be eco-friendly?
These hotels take real action to reduce their environmental impact. For example:
  • Energy efficiency, using LED lighting, low-energy appliances, and renewable energy sources
  • Water conservation, through low-flow showers and toilets, or greywater reuse
  • Waste reduction, with recycling, composting, and cutting down on single-use items
  • Sustainable sourcing, using local and eco-friendly products – from food to cleaning supplies
  • Certifications, such as LEED, Green Key or EarthCheck, confirming their commitment to sustainability
When you choose a certified eco-hotel, you support a more sustainable form of tourism – without compromising on comfort or quality.
Greener transport options
We highlight transport partners that invest in climate-smart travel. On our website, you’ll find information about their sustainability efforts, helping you make informed choices – whether you travel by car, ferry or plane.
Examples of sustainable travel options:
  • Ferries – Cross the sea with ease via operators like Stena Line, which actively reduces its environmental impact
  • Flights – We aim to offer carbon offset options in the future
  • Roadtrips – Discover new destinations at your own pace, with tips for more sustainable travel on the road

Our sustainability journey – for you and the planet

In 2024, we took an important step by joining Travelife – one of the leading international sustainability certification programs for the travel industry. This is part of our long-term effort to make sustainability a natural part of everything we do.
We’ve appointed a sustainability coordinator and launched internal focus groups to explore how we can help you make greener travel choices. With a clear sustainability policy and an action plan in place, we’re identifying where we can make the biggest impact.
But this is just the beginning. We will keep evolving our services, working with responsible partners and making it easier for you to travel with care.
Thank you for choosing to travel with care – together, we can make a real difference.
