Our environmental and social commitments

Beyond being a global issue, looking after the environment is, for LOV Group, an essential responsibility and something they do both for their customers and employees. The group is a leader in all its markets and aims to set an example. Its philosophy is to do as much as possible, and build a concrete and useful environmental policy. Every idea is valued, and the overall policy represents the sum of our collective ideas that together ensure the group is moving towards a greener future and one that respects the planet.

At LOV Group, the CSR is social, unifying and synonymous with pride and a sense of belonging. All social and societal performances are linked, and all subjects are tackled without taboo, be that gender equality, disability, inclusion, diversity, well-being at work, and a commitment to solidarity. The group's ethics focus on respect for employees and stakeholders, and place great value on the attention and care that needs to be given to society at large.

This philosophy is applied throughout the group and overseen by an RSE (Social responsibility for Businesses) manager. LOV donations also allow us to provide finance on an ongoing basis, notably in supporting medical research.

The organic matter is converted into compost and then distributed to local farmers, and to our summer hotels gardens, so that the virtous circle comes back around !

A premium nature documentary

A green ambassador at Banijay’s

Peter Hansen is the Banijay Nordic Chief Creative and green ambassador. It felt like a natural thing to step into the role as a spokesman on endorsing sustainability for Peter coming from a region in the world where it's very much on the agenda. The Danish government has, for instance, adopted a climate law to cut emissions by 70% by 2030.

A green production

The Swedish drama series BÄCKSTRÖM for TV4 & ARD was shot in 2019 and is the first scripted production in Sweden to focus on sustainable production and to find a way of producing in a greener way in film & TV. The film production had an Eco-Supervisor to educate all heads of development before the production. It included no air travel in Sweden, and climate compensation for air travel outside Sweden, no non-recyclable items, less use of plastic and always a vegetarian alternative for meals.
