​Located at the centre of Stockholm’s dynamic shopping and restaurant district, overlooking Berzelii Park and the Baltic Sea, Berns has been a hub of Stockholm’s entertainment scene for over 150 years. Global superstars, artists, bankers, media folk and curious cosmopolitans have been drawn here ever since Berns opened its doors in 1863. Historic architecture meets majestic rooms with eclectic details, a vibrant atmosphere and legendary nightlife. Dine under crystal chandeliers at the breathtaking Asian restaurant, enjoy the comforts of the award-winning boutique hotel or dance until the early hours in the celebrated nightclub. Today Berns is owned by Stureplansgruppen.

Corporate Social Responsibility

Berns takes a stand
Berns wants to take their responsibility and work long-term when it comes to sustainability and the environment. The hotel and restaurant are constantly working with minor improvements, which over time produce great results.
 
We work mainly in four areas:

• Sustainable food and food waste
• Waste and source sorting
• Energy and transport
• Conscious choice of suppliers

Isaan's sustainability policy
At our restaurant Isaan' we have a sustainability philosophy that flows through the entire restaurant, which is also reflected in the menu. The produce and ingredients used for the food are reused to become new components, in everything from food courses to drinks in the bar. Our crispy karma crackers are made from vegetable peels among other things. Leftover rice gets deep fried and becomes a crunchy treat in our desserts and lemon grass peel is used in our locally brewed wheat beer.

​Although the restaurant is characterized by Thai flavors from the other side of the world, local ingredients are used in the food to the greatest extent possible. Ingredients that are commonly used in Asian food are replaced by Nordic ingredients with similar flavors, for example, cabbage root and cabbage rabbit instead of papaya, organic honey replaces palm oil for sweetness and sour sea buckthorn works great as a substitute for tamarind. All the meat served in the restaurant is Swedish, and the fish is from the Nordic countries.

Nattvandrarna
Berns supports the charity Nattvandrarna. Operating across Sweden, Nattvandrarna is a democratic, non-profit organisation made up of local groups and associations. Their volunteers patrol the streets in their yellow jackets, providing adult role models, sympathetic support and a reassuring presence for young people who are out and about at night. Having the volunteers around also prevents criminal activity such as vandalism, violence and drug abuse.

The Hunger Project
Berns supports the Hunger Project. Through coaching, training and access to microfinance programmes, the aim is to create sustainable communities that can stand on their own two feet. The programmes improve health, education, farming, water provision and sanitation in the villages. The Hunger Project encourages people to use their democratic rights to gain influence over the decisions taken in their community. They work actively to increase equality by empowering women to become entrepreneurs and take seats in local government. So far, the Hunger Project has mobilised clusters of villages into 123 epicentres in 8 African countries. Through its Epicentre Strategy, the charity now reaches around 2 million people in Africa.
