SUSTAINABILITY IN THE NORDIC REGION
Sustainability is a way of life in the Nordics and Sustainable Travel plays an important role in the region’s tourism industry.
The Most Sustainable Region in the World
The people have always been close to nature, and across the Scandinavian countries there is a roadmap to efficient use of natural resources, focusing on renewable energies, energy efficiency, water and waste management, climate adaptation, circular economy and integrated urban nature solutions. But sustainability is more than having a positive impact on the environment, and there is focus on social and economic sustainability aswell. The governments of the Nordic countries have pledged to make their region the most sustainable and integrated region in the world by 2030 and it seems to be working : Euromonitor International’s Sustainable Travel Index, which has classified sustainable tourism in 99 countries worldwide, puts Sweden, Finland, and Norway in the Top 5.
SUSTAINABLE TRAVEL WITH NORDIC PURO

We are committed to making travel more sustainable, and our objective is to work towards carbon neutral travel and to reduce the negative impact of tourism on the environment as well as to ensure the social and economic impact of our tours and services are positive. We accept that this work is an ongoing process for us as well as for our partners and that there is always room for improvement, but the direction we are going is forever upwards.
We share the steps to be taken towards sustainability with our suppliers as well as customers in order to increase the knowledge and help people and companies to make the right decision in their daily work towards sustainability.
Positive Impact
We aim for our guests to feel regenerated and energized after travelling with us.
