Abstract

Skallerup Klit is a Danish holiday center certified as CO2 neutral.
They use this label for branding as them selves as the first CO2 neutral holiday
center in Denmark. There are reasons to question how ambitious “CO2
neutrality” as a strategy is, because this goal can be reached rather easily by
offsetting and without making actual emission reductions. Therefore the purpose
of this study is to present recommendations on how Skallerup Klit can
build up their business strategy using Carbon Footprint (CFP) as a tool. The
CPF is calculated and assessed by using financial data in an Input-output
LCA. For the LCA the system boundaries of the assessment of Skallerup
Klit´s CFP are defined to include both direct and indirect emissions from the
supply chain and from transportation and food eaten at the holiday center.
Scenarios are conducted to illustrate where the greatest emission reductions
are possible and the results are then used to make recommendations on how
Skallerup Klit can build up their business strategy on future CO2 reduction
initiatives.
