Sustainability

A sustainable business

The world is changing, and the challenges of today call for a renewed and strengthened concept of responsibility.

For Tivoli, this means that we will prioritize sustainability both in- and outside Tivoli Gardens (e.g. in collaboration with suppliers), and that we will intensify our efforts working with sustainability.

Sustainability was, also in 2025, an important part of our work, and integrated part of the annual report.

Environment

Tivoli is actively participating in the green transition. Tivoli visitors increasingly expect their experiences to meet basic standards for sustainability. Legislation requires both the implementation of initiatives and increased reporting, and at the same time there are growing demands from partners, investors and employees to reduce negative impacts on the climate and environment.

Tivoli's ambitions in the area of sustainability have led to a climate target and specific objective to reduce emissions in scope 1 and 2 by 90% by the end of 2025 compared to 2019. This target has been met. From 2026 onwards, the remaining approx. 10% of the emissions will be compensated. Tivoli has also committed to achieving a 25% reduction in CO2 emissions from purchased goods and services by 2030 compared to 2022. This target includes areas such as food and textile purchasing, packaging, furnishings, as well as construction and scenography. Initiatives launched include new workflows regarding waste management, implementation of an internal take-back scheme for uniforms, which are recycled internally, and during 2025 Tivoli replaced all vehicles and machinery with electric powered alternatives – including Tivoli's iconic tram, the Trolley Bus.

Green Attraction and Green Key

In 2022, Tivoli was awarded the environmental certification Green Attraction, becoming the first amusement park in Denmark to receive this recognition. The certification requires Tivoli to meet a wide range of criteria for environmentally friendly operations. The total of 240 criteria broadly focusses on, among other things, reduced resource consumption, green procurement requirements, climate accounting, supplier requirements, and waste management. The certification ensures that Tivoli's sustainability initiatives and work processes are documented and demonstrated annually to an independent expert council, with the aim of an annual increase in the certification rating.

In 2024, Nimb Hotel was awarded the corresponding environmental certification for hotels, Green Key, becoming the first 5-star superior hotel in Denmark to receive this recognition.

Social

Tivoli is a diverse workplace with many professional skills spread over several generations and a high proportion of young people during the seasons. Many of them have their first job at Tivoli. In 2025, Tivoli established a youth board, which helps to ensure a favorable development of Tivoli as a workplace for the young employee group. There is a high reemployment rate between seasons, which partly testifies to the fact that employees value Tivoli as a workplace, and partly ensures continuity and a high level of service. Well-being and the working environment have a high priority. This is reflected, among other things, in high employee satisfaction. A new system for registering both visitor and employee incidents was implemented in 2025.

A targeted effort to reduce the number of days of absence in connection with incidents and occupational accidents has meant, that the accident frequency in 2025 has decreased by 18.6% compared to the previous year, and the number of days of absence in connection with incidents has been reduced by 53%.

Tivoli's social responsibility includes long-term philanthropic partnerships that benefit as many people as possible. The focus is on children who do not have the same opportunities as others to come to Tivoli. A multi-year collaboration with the Danish Regions means that children who have been hospitalized can exchange their hospital wristband for a Tivoli wristband. Families with children affected by cancer, like the SMIL Foundation, visit Tivoli annually. Tivoli also supports BørneTelefonen and Joannahuset, and Danish veterans are also granted access to Tivoli.

Tivoli’s corporate social responsibility includes long-term philanthropic partnerships that benefit as many people as possible. The focus is on children who do not have the same opportunities as others to visit Tivoli. A long-standing partnership with Danish Regions allows children who have been hospitalised to exchange their hospital wristband for a Tivoli wristband. The children’s charities ‘familier med kræftramte børn’ and ‘SMILfonden’ also visit Tivoli annually. We also support the charities ‘BørneTelefonen’ and ‘Joannahuset’.

Tivoli strives to reflect the diversity of the society we live in and its visitors. As part of these efforts, Tivoli has joined the Confederation of Danish Industry’s diversity pledge and is working to ensure that the business community in Denmark reaches a gender distribution of 40/60 by 2030. In 2024, a positive development was seen at other management levels, with the share rising from 30% to 32%.

Governance

Tivoli has an unwavering focus on compliance at all levels. Extensive digitalization of processes requires increased focus on data ethics, and Tivoli has several focus and training courses throughout the year to ensure a high level of knowledge about GDPR regulations.

Tivoli assesses price and purchasing terms with regard to climate, environment and human rights and prioritizes suppliers with responsible working conditions. Larger purchases must be contract-based and include sustainability documents, and Tivoli has increased the proportion of contracts with suppliers and a value above DKK 100,000 in 2025. Tivoli is continuously working to improve supplier management and ensure compliance with their Code of Conduct.
