SUSTAINABILITY

Through our actions, we want to highlight the importance of responsibility and sustainable development. We are committed to making our staff and customers more sustainable and aware of environmental issues.

Our hotel proudly holds the Green Key certification, showcasing our dedication to sustainability across various fronts. Green Key, an international sustainability certificate aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, reflects our commitment to environmental stewardship.

At RUNO Hotel Porvoo, we strive to integrate sustainable development seamlessly into every aspect of our operations, making it an inherent part of our daily routines. We are devoted to minimizing and mitigating the environmental impact of our activities, continually enhancing our practices, and setting new sustainability objectives annually. Ensuring a safe working environment, we prioritize risk and crisis management and provide ongoing training to our staff, fostering environmental awareness and a commitment to sustainable practices among both employees and guests.

In addition to our Green Key certification, our hotel is also certified under the We Speak Gay program, underscoring our dedication to equality and fair treatment for all. We vehemently oppose corruption and exploitation, working tirelessly to combat any form of discrimination or harassment. Furthermore, we actively contribute to social sustainability in our community, benefiting both our staff and guests.

Our most significant direct environmental impacts come from the consumption of resources such as energy and water. Therefore, we actively strive to reduce our energy and water consumption, minimize waste generation, and improve waste sorting. As a newly renovated hotel, we use energy-efficient and smart building technology solutions, and in our hotel operations, we use environmentally friendly products and resource-efficient technology. We regularly measure and monitor our environmental efficiency, including water, electricity, and energy consumption, as well as the amount of waste generated in our operations.

Our procurement also has a significant indirect environmental impact, particularly concerning food and chemicals. Therefore, we are committed to using organic, eco-labeled, and seasonal products and food, and to refrain from using meat, fish, or seafood products derived from endangered or protected populations or species. We minimize food waste, use disposable tableware only in exceptional cases, and our cleaning and washing agents and paper products are eco-labeled.

Compliance with laws, regulations, and other requirements is the minimum standard for us, and we are committed to exceeding current laws and regulations related to sustainable development. RUNO Hotel Porvoo endeavors to lead the way in fostering a sustainable tourism industry, actively encouraging stakeholders, customers, and staff to engage in sustainable development initiatives.
