Our approach to sustainability
It is crucial for us to operate Egn in a way that does not exploit nature, but on the contrary seeks solutions that respect nature's balance and contribute to its flourishing again.
Since Egn was established in 2021, we have worked purposefully with sustainable initiatives that stem from our core values: presence, gastronomy and nature. For us, sustainability is not about perfection, but about conscious choices, responsibility and constant development – in small as well as large ways.
We have therefore chosen to do everything we can every day to give back more to nature and each other than we take. Egn wants to be part of something bigger – but at the same time only a small part of the climate account.
Part of something bigger – ambassadors for Møn UNESCO Biosphere & Dark Sky
As a natural extension of our values and our way of running a hotel, we are today proud ambassadors for the Møn UNESCO Biosphere as well as Dark Sky Møn and Nyord.
Ambassadorship is an obligation – and we take it seriously. This means that we actively convey local knowledge to our guests, support sustainable development in our local area and contribute to preserving both nature, biodiversity and the unique, undisturbed darkness that Møn and Nyord are known for.
We see ourselves as hosts who not only welcome a stay, but also open the door to a deeper understanding of the landscape, history and nature around us. In this way, we help connect people with nature – with respect for both the place and the communities that belong to it.
As business ambassadors, we are part of a strong local collaboration and knowledge community, where dialogue, exchange of experiences and joint projects are central elements. This not only strengthens our own practice, but also the overall story of Møn as a place where nature, people and experiences go hand in hand.
Green energy
We work every day to contribute to a more sustainable world. We have just made several major energy-saving changes which significantly reduce our CO2 emissions. A final goodbye to black power, we only use green power, hello to LED lighting are some of the steps we have just taken to contribute to a more environmentally friendly everyday life.

Dilemmas
Egn Bed & Breakfast focuses on the many dilemmas involved in working ambitiously with sustainability and being a responsible company. We have been on the journey for many years, and we want to share our experiences, challenges, worries and victories with the world in order to inspire even more people to start taking responsibility for the world they are a part of.
We have taken a bite of the apple
We have taken a bite of an apple, which has made us think about whether we are now also doing the right thing. After all, we want to leave as positive an impression on the world as possible.
It lies in our entire ambition to run our B&B on nature's premises. That is why we have so much focus on ecology. Even so, or precisely because of this, we occasionally have doubts.
As now with the apple: It is grown by one of our local suppliers, and we greatly appreciate both the apple, the producer and the fact that the transport largely does not burden the climate. But the apple is grown conventionally.
What weighs more heavily: ecology or local produce? It is one of the many dilemmas we encounter when we want to take responsibility for climate, environment and people. One thing is certain: We always try our best and make the choice that is best for nature.
Sustainable everyday life
We place a strong focus on reducing food waste.
We source locally and serve more vegetables and less meat.
Over 60% of our ingredients are organic.
We reduce and consolidate deliveries to our hotel and restaurant whenever possible.
In our rooms, we have also made conscious choices: there are no TVs or refrigerators, as both standby consumption and unnecessary electricity use add to the CO₂ footprint.
