Sustainability
Original Sokos Hotel Viru has a Green Key environmental certification. At the hotel, we follow Green Key criteria in areas such as energy and water use, waste sorting and housekeeping.
- Our employees receive environmental training related to their work.
- We sort waste and send recyclable materials for recycling.
- Most hotel rooms have water-saving showers and taps.
- We use eco-labelled cleaning products and sort the waste generated during housekeeping. Many rooms also have waste sorting bins.
- We use LED lighting throughout the hotel and replace older light sources with LED lights whenever possible.
- We provide our guests with information on using bicycles, electric scooters, public transport and electric taxis.
- Our restaurants offer local, organic and plant-based options.
- The hotel’s ventilation, refrigeration and other equipment is maintained regularly.
- Guests can choose to opt out of daily housekeeping.
- Towels are changed according to the guest’s preference – a towel left on the rack is not automatically replaced with a clean one.
- We have removed mini bottles from the minibars and left the refrigerators available for guests to use.
How you can help save resources during your stay:
- turn off the water while shampooing or soaping in the shower
- use a cup when brushing your teeth
- leave your towel on the rack if you would like to use it again
- switch off the lights and take your room key with you when leaving the room
- start with a smaller portion at breakfast – you can always take more
- sort your waste according to the hotel’s instructions
- ask reception about public transport and other ways to get around
