Sustainability at Sokos Hotels

Responsibly creating happiness since 1974
At Sokos Hotels, we work towards happier travel. This means we take care of the well-being of people, the climate, and the environment.
With us, you sleep, eat, wash, work, and have fun every day of the year. Responsible choices multiply through our customers, which is why we continuously develop our operations towards sustainability.
We aim for carbon negativity
At Sokos Hotels, we follow the S Group's responsibility program. One of its main goals is to turn our operations carbon negative by the end of 2025.
To achieve carbon negativity, we have already largely switched to using renewable energy and electricity. Some of our hotels produce energy for their own use and the grid, for example, with solar panels.
The average amount of carbon emissions at Sokos Hotels in Finland is 31 kg CO₂ per room night, including breakfast. This figure includes Scope 1 & 2 emissions.
85 percent of the emissions come from breakfast. This also includes the logistics of food from the producer country to the logistics center and from there to the farthest hotel in Finland. Already 80 percent of the food we offer is of Finnish origin.
Responsibility for people
We work to make every hotel and restaurant visit equal and accessible. Almost every Sokos Hotel has accessible rooms.
We take care of our own. We employ over 1,300 of our own employees. We are one of the largest hotel chains in Finland and invest in our role as a fair, value-based employer.
Marks of our responsibility
All our hotels meet the strict criteria of the Green Key certificate and the Sustainable Travel Finland label.
In the 2025 Sustainable Brand Index survey, which maps perceptions of responsibility, Finns rated Sokos Hotels as Finland's most responsible hotel chain brand for the 13th consecutive time.
