Corporate Responsibility

Corporate responsibility (CR) is about the impact an organisation makes on society, the environment and the economy. Here are some examples of how Kakslauttanen approaches this.

• All our biggest buildings are heated with geothermal heating while the rest have air-source heat pumps.
• Buildings and furniture are the work of small and local businesses and entrepreneurs.
• In our restaurants we serve local products; meat, fish, mushrooms and berries.
• Our wastewater is treated to make it clean and all drinking water is spring water.
• Almost all our buildings are made from wood and are therefore carbon sinks.
• We employ local people as our service providers within reindeer, husky and snowmobile activities for example.
• Kakslauttanen has been a showroom for Finnish artists for decades, as well as international ones.
• We take care of the recycling of the materials and waste resulting from its operations by utilizing systems provided by society.
• We promote the different aspects of our sustainability with the objective of receiving Visit Finland’s Sustainable Travel Finland sustainability certification.
