We are thrilled to share that Kupolen has signed the Climate Neutral Borlänge 2030 climate contract reinforcing its commitment to supporting the transition towards a more sustainable and climate-neutral Borlänge.

Kupolen is further strengthening its long-term sustainability commitments by joining Climate Neutral Borlänge 2030. At the same time, the shopping center is delivering measurable results through reduced energy consumption, high recycling rates and lower water usage during 2025.

Kupolen has signed the Climate Neutral Borlänge 2030 climate contract, joining a shared ambition to contribute to a climate-neutral Borlänge. The initiative brings together businesses, organizations and public-sector stakeholders committed to accelerating the local climate transition through collaboration and concrete actions.

By signing the climate contract, Steen & Strøm commits to supporting the vision of a climate-neutral Borlänge through initiatives including greenhouse gas emissions mapping, the development of action plans and active collaboration with other local stakeholders.

At the same time, Kupolen continues to reduce its own environmental impact. During 2025, energy consumption per square metre decreased by more than 10 per cent compared with the previous year, contributing to lower energy use and a reduced carbon footprint.

During the year, the shopping center achieved a material recycling rate of 78.2 per cent, including organic waste. This means that nearly four-fifths of all waste was returned to the circular economy rather than being sent for incineration or landfill. Water consumption was also reduced by 3 per cent compared with the previous year.

“Sustainability is an integral part of how we develop Kupolen. By joining Climate Neutral Borlänge 2030, we want to contribute to the local transition while continuing to reduce our own environmental impact. The results we are seeing across energy, water and recycling demonstrate that our efforts are already making a difference,” says Jenny Ensgård Madi, Center Manager at Kupolen.

For Kupolen, sustainability is a long-term commitment and an important part of developing the destination. The focus is on reducing resource consumption, increasing recycling rates and creating value for visitors, tenants and the local community.
