Protecting the environment, people and the local community
The north is our home and we look after it in all our activities. Sustainable operations are close to our heart. We value the fragile nature of Lapland and local communities. In addition to the environment, it is important to us to look after people – our staff and customers alike. We develop our corporate responsibility continuously and seek new ways to improve our operations.
Looking after our personnel
To us, skilled, engaged, motivated, goal-oriented and satisfied personnel are the key. We invest in good management and measures designed to promote commitment to our operating culture. Our HR management is based on compliance with laws and regulations, and we determine our wages on the basis of the applicable collective agreements. It is important to us that our personnel enjoy a sense of well-being at work and leisure, and to ensure this we support sports and other leisure activities.
Looking after our customers
The cornerstone of our operations is to offer everybody an equal chance to enjoy the experience we provide. We continuously develop our services and products for our customers.
Fostering a balanced relationship with nature
We look after our natural surroundings and strive to foster a balanced relationship with nature. We continuously develop new, environmentally friendly ways of operating. We use green electricity that is generated using 100% water, wind or bioenergy, on all our premises.
Appreciating local heritage
We have been in operation since 1992 – and have always operated locally. We value the local culture and communities. We are one of the attractions in the area. Promoting year-round operations creates the foundations for sustainable development – it enables us to create permanent jobs in the long term, thereby contributing to the region’s tax revenue and well-being. We show our appreciation for the region by paying our taxes in the area where we operate, by hiring locally and by using local service providers.
