We are Eco-Lighthouse certified!
October 2025 was a milestone for us at Barn til Bords – we became Eco-Lighthouse certified. This is an important step in ensuring more sustainable operations. We are proud to be able to document that we take the environment, work environment, and social responsibility seriously.

What does it mean to be a Miljøfyrtårn (Eco-Lighthouse) certified business?
Miljøfyrtårn is a recognized certification scheme that helps companies work systematically and concretely to reduce their climate footprint. Barn til Bords has been certified in the catering and large-scale kitchen category.
For us, this means we have undergone a thorough process where everything from waste management, procurement, and energy use to the work environment and transport has been evaluated – and improved.
This is not just about the environment, but also about quality, well-being, and responsibility at every level.
Our journey – from startup to certification
Our vision is the same as it was 20 years ago, to provide children with the joy of food and curiosity for all types of food – made with care for both people and the environment.
In 2016, we got our own kitchen at Rud, which marked the start of a new phase of growth and professionalization. Today, we have 8 skilled employees who contribute every day to creating great meal experiences for both small and large occasions.
The Miljøfyrtårn certification is proof that our entire team is working together for a greener and more responsible everyday life.
Small steps – big changes
The road to certification has given us many valuable experiences. Among other things, we have:
- Reduced food waste through better planning and the reuse of ingredients.
- Adopted more environmentally friendly packaging solutions.
- Increased focus on local suppliers and seasonal ingredients.
- Working towards an even better work environment and lower energy consumption in the kitchen.
The road ahead
We will continue to put sustainability on the menu and evolve in line with both environmental goals and customer needs.
Thanks to our employees, customers, and partners who have been with us on the journey so far – and who inspire us to take new green steps forward.
