Sustainability

As the finest hotel in Helsinki, we want to create great hotel experiences while also addressing our impact on the environment and people. Together with our parent company, we take into account areas such as emissions, resource use, diversity, and inclusion – an approach we call WeCare. Read more about our goals, initiatives, and results below.

WeCare focus areas at Hotel Kämp

People

At Hotel Kämp, it is of utmost importance for us that besides our guest, every employee feels our warmth and hospitality. Our diversity is a strength visible in all our units: For example, there are over 30 different nationalities in our 100-member staff. All of us work following shared rules and responsibilities.

High quality food

The food we serve is of high quality, healthy, and responsibly produced. We prefer buying organic and local produce, the quality of the ingredients as our priority. We consider well-planned ingredients and courses as sustainable actions too, helping us to minimize waste. Special diet options and ingredients' countries of origins are also included in our menus, and we refrain from using any Red List ingredients.

Trade

We carry on discussions with our goods and service providers to make sure they also reach promised sustainable goals. Being part of Strawberry, the corporation wide value chain also relies on ethical demands.

Sertifications

We aim to operate our hotel with more positive impact on the planet. With our persistent work, we have obtained the Nordic Swan ecolabel certificate, and our property has received the LEED Gold environmental certificate. In our daily operations we keep track and further our understanding on waste management, reduce consumption of electricity and water, recycle according to the recycling system on the property, and minimize the consumption of paper and single-use products.
