For Skepparholmen, sustainability is a central and tangible part of our operations. Through structured and dedicated efforts, we focus on health and the environment to drive long-term change.
It is said that “he who plants a tree has not lived in vain.” At Skepparholmen, we carry forward the legacy of timber merchant Francke, who in the 1800s established our park with magnificent oaks, lindens, beeches, and more exotic tree species. This lush greenery, combined with our scenic location between the sea and the lake, creates a harmonious environment where nature takes center stage.
Since 2008, our green approach has been a fundamental part of who we are. We are proud to be Green Key certified and to offer a restaurant that serves MSC- and ASC-certified fish along with a wide range of vegetarian and organic options. Our care also extends beyond Skepparholmen through partnerships with Maskrosbarn, Nattvandrarna, and the Swedish Sea Rescue Society—collaborations that strengthen our social responsibility and contribute to a better future for both people and the planet.

At Skepparholmen, we are committed to making a positive difference, not only for the environment but also for society. One of our key partnerships is with Maskrosbarn, a non-profit organization that supports children and young people living in challenging home environments due to parental addiction, mental illness, or violence.
Through this collaboration, we contribute to creating brighter futures for these young individuals by supporting initiatives that provide safe spaces, mentorship, and opportunities for personal growth. This partnership is a natural extension of our commitment to responsibility and sustainability.
We also collaborate with Nattvandrarna, an organization dedicated to creating safety and support for young people in their local communities.
Nattvandrarna provides a reassuring presence during evenings and weekends, offering guidance and a listening ear to youth in need. By supporting this initiative, we help promote a sense of community and security, perfectly aligned with our commitment to social responsibility.
Safety on the water is a vital concern for many, and the Swedish Sea Rescue Society is one of Sweden’s most significant organizations in maritime rescue. With the help of dedicated volunteers and donations, they provide swift responses in emergencies and contribute to safety on our seas and lakes.
At Skepparholmen, we are proud of our partnership with the Swedish Sea Rescue Society. By supporting their work, we are part of a larger effort to save lives and enhance safety for both local residents and visitors to Sweden’s unique marine environments. Together, we strive to create security and care in our community.
At Skepparholmen, we cherish nature and its gifts. We have our own beehives, where our industrious bees produce honey of the highest quality. This locally produced honey is used in our operations and is also available for purchase, allowing our guests to take home a piece of Skepparholmen. It is our way of contributing to biodiversity while offering a natural and sustainable product.
