Sustainability

We are committed to taking responsibility into account in our operations. As proof of this, Original Sokos Hotel Royal has received the Green Key certificate and the Sustainable Travel Finland label.

Better choices are a priority

We are part of the S Group's ambitious responsibility programme, where one of the most important goals is to reach carbon negativity in our operations by the end of 2025. Our guests sleep, eat, wash, work and enjoy themselves in our hotels every day, all year round. Responsible choices are multiplied through our customers, which is why we want to continuously develop our operations in a more sustainable direction. Our goal is to provide each employee and guest a place where they are treated as equals and individuals.

We serve organic and local food
Environmental friendliness is reflected in our selection of locally produced, organic and seasonal plant-based food, which we strive to serve in all our hotels. We want to make environmentally friendly choices easy for you – also at mealtimes – while serving you great culinary treats.

We choose eco-friendly products
We use eco-labeled detergents and work methods in which we use water and chemicals to ensure cleanliness, while caring for the environment. We want choosing environmentally friendly accommodation to be simple, and to make your stay comfortable.

We operate in an energy-saving way
We save energy by using LED lights, energy saving light bulbs, motion detectors and timing devices. The electrical energy we use is emission-free and largely renewable. We make saving energy easy also for you.

We sort and recycle
We sort waste efficiently and direct suitable waste types for reuse and recycling. This is how we save nature. We also offer our hotel guests an easy way to recycle and take care of nature.

We save water
We want to make environmentally friendly choices easy also for you. By leaving your towel on the bathroom towel rail, you indicated that you will use it for another day. This is how we help nature together.

We favour ecological mobility
Buses, trains, metros and bicycles are ecological ways to get around. We want to make it easy for you to choose these environmentally friendly means of transport. In many of our hotels, we enable electric car charging and lend out bicycles for shorter trips. Ask our reception for assistance, we will be happy to help.
