Responsibility
If Punakettu wasn’t red, its color would probably be green – that’s how close green acts, ecology and responsibility are to our hearts. As an indicator of this we have been granted the respected Green Key -certificate that is given to businesses that are, among others, committed to optimizing the usage of energy and water.
First Green Key environmental certificate for Sodankylä Municipality
Punainen Kettu Oy was awarded the Green Key certificate on May 28, 2021, as the first company in Sodankylä Municipality. What does it mean in practice? Green Key is an international tourism responsibility program, the criteria of which are based on the UN Sustainable Development Goals. A Green Key certified destination must meet all mandatory points of the Green Key environmental criteria and report on its environmental work in its application. To receive the Green Key label, a company must demonstrate its commitment to increasing the environmental awareness of its personnel and customers, improving the efficiency of energy and water use, and reducing environmental burden. Compliance with the criteria is verified through regular, on-site audits. The certificate is awarded by an external, independent Green Key jury.
Ecology and local food
Here at Punakettu we make ecological choices: we offer local food, we utilize ecological heating methods as well as recycle. For example, we use geothermal heating as an energy supply and energy and water usage optimized technology in our kitchen. Our goal is to lessen our carbon footprint so we monitor closely its level and content.
Let’s protect our nature together
The water in Luosto is spring water filtered trough layers of ancient stone and amethist rocks. This makes the water very soft and delicious. We recommend drinking loads of it! Nature and protecting it is close to our hearts, so you can leave any trash collected from the nature to the blue garbage bins on our patio. We thank you for your collaboration!
