Sustainability

WE ARE BUILDING A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE

Golden Resort has been awarded with the Sustainable Travel Finland label. We hold also the Green Key and Ekokompassi eco-labels. Companies can receive the awards after fulfilling a comprehensive environmental criteria which cover matters such as energy efficiency, recycling, water saving and raising environmental awareness. We want to play our part in preserving our prestige nature for future generations. Choosing a responsible hotel supplier you are at the same time supporting sustainable tourism.

CARBON NEUTRAL WASTE MANAGEMENT

Our latest responsibility measure is the transition to carbon neutral waste management. From the beginning of January, we have adapted our partner Lassila & Tikanoja’s Carbon Neutral Waste Management service. In practice, this means that the carbon footprint of our waste management is measured and emissions are offset through Gold Standard -certified afforestation projects. 

WE SAVE ENERGY AND WATER

As a Green Key awarded establishment, we make special efforts to preserve the environment. We do not save on lighting, but on energy. We do this by using low-energy lighting. We track our water consumption by using Smartvatten and use water flow sensors without diminishing your comfort.

WE SORT AND RECYCLE WASTE

Waste sorting and recycling saves the environment. We strive to make sorting as easy as possible for you: each property has sorting instructions and recycling point locations. By sorting your waste correctly it can be used in the best possible way as energy or other material.

WE OFFER LOCAL FOOD INGREDIENTS

We are committed to supporting Finnish food production. By favoring domestic ingredients, we promote employment in Finland and are able to enjoy clean, high-quality and safe food. Finnish food is also more environmentally and climate friendly. We strive to reduce our food waste and are involved in ResQ’s food app.

ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY PRODUCTS

In cleaning we use ecological products that, in addition to a clean result consider the environmental aspect. We have moved mainly from paper hand towels to more ecological reusable cotton towels. We use eco-labeled office papers and we have significantly reduced our use of copy paper.
