Hotel Rantapuisto has also held the international Green Key environmental certification for the accommodation and tourism industry since 2018.

Green Key-certified Hotel Rantapuisto

Hotel Rantapuisto has been Green Key certified since 2018. Green Key is an international environmental certification for the hospitality and tourism industry, recognising a commitment to sustainable tourism and everyday environmental responsibility. This commitment is reflected in efforts to save energy and water, reduce and recycle waste, offer local, plant-based and organic products, and use eco-labelled cleaning products and paper. We also aim to raise environmental awareness among our staff and guests.

Here’s how we put environmental responsibility into practice every day:

Reducing water consumption: We are improving kitchen equipment use through shared guidelines, chilling food in a blast chiller, and encouraging guests to choose tap water instead of bottled water.

Energy efficiency: The solar panels on the hotel roof generate renewable energy for the property, and energy consumption is monitored as part of our ongoing environmental work.

Reducing food waste: waste is monitored and actively reduced, for example by using smaller plates and selling long-life products in the lobby bar.

Responsible food choices: We choose local, vegetarian and organic products whenever possible. Breakfast includes Paulig Mundo organic coffee and products sourced locally.

Waste management and recycling: sorting waste is part of everyday life, bins are sized to meet needs, and procedures are covered in every team member’s induction.

Supporting biodiversity: The hotel grounds feature maintained natural meadows that provide food and habitats for pollinators and other beneficial insects.

Eco-friendly activities: for example, our proximity to Natura Viva supports eco-friendly nature activities, and guests can rent bicycles.

Responsible procurement and partners: Our reception and restaurant staff wear responsibly and sustainably produced workwear, and our cleaning partner 4Clean Services uses environmentally friendly cleaning products and methods and follows the Ekokompassi environmental certification.
