Green Key- certification
As recognition for our efforts in sustainability, our company was awarded the Green Key certification for the second time in 2025.
The Green Key certificate granted to us covers our accommodation services as well as our restaurant and sauna operations. Among our accommodation options, the certification applies to the Sport Resort rooms, Standard rooms, Sports Apartments, and Chalets. In addition, the certification includes our lakeside saunas.
As a Green Key-certified company, we are committed to continuously improving our sustainability practices and reporting on them each year as part of the renewal application. Compliance with the criteria is verified through regular on-site audits. The certification is granted by an external, independent Green Key jury.
Green Key is an international sustainability certification for the tourism sector, which has been achieved by over 5,300 companies in 68 countries worldwide. The certification criteria are based on the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals and include requirements related to reducing environmental impact, increasing social benefits, and supporting the local economy. The criteria are practical and effectively take into account the unique characteristics of the tourism industry.
Green Key is also a sustainability program: participating companies commit to the continuous development of their operations and report on their progress in the annual renewal application. The program offers participants personalized advice, as well as training and communication materials. The quality of operations is ensured through regular on-site audits. The certification is awarded by an external, independent Green Key jury.
Our journey toward Green Key certification began in 2023, and in the fall of 2024, we finally achieved the certification. To obtain the certification, we implemented practical, concrete actions, some of which are listed below:
- We installed flow restrictors on taps and showers to reduce water flow.
- We replaced our lighting with LED bulbs.
- We installed a food waste tracker in our restaurant to encourage the reduction of food waste.
As part of the Green Key certification requirements, we are committed to setting goals for the coming year. Our goals for 2026 are as follows:
-
Improve our online sustainability pages. We aim to expand the content and provide more detailed and diverse information from the perspectives of social responsibility, environmental responsibility, and economic responsibility.
-
Produce a written sustainability report. Over the next year, we plan to create a separate, comprehensive sustainability report about our operations. This report will be published on our sustainability web pages for our customers and partners to read. Our goal is to improve the transparency of our sustainability efforts. While we do many things in our daily operations to promote responsibility, our communication about them is still limited.
-
Enhance our social media communication regarding sustainability. During the coming year, we will ensure that our sustainability work is regularly reflected in our social media channels — Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn.
