OUR SUSTAINABILITY MISSION
With the leading training, management and certification initiative for tourism companies committed to reaching sustainability, we have been awarded Travelife Certified certification, their highest sustainability award achievable for travel companies.
The Travelife standard is based upon full Corporate Social Responsibility themes, including labour conditions, human rights, environment, biodiversity and fair business practices. The management requirements are compatible with EMAS and ISO 14001. The scheme is supported by more than 35 national travel associations to further its implementation among members.
Nordic Puro is supporting the United Nations´ Sustainable Development Goals, which are the blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all. They address the global challenges we face, including poverty, inequality, climate change, environmental degradation, peace and justice.
We are committed to making travel more sustainable. Our objective is to work towards carbon neutral travel and to reduce negative impact on environment as well as to make sure 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.
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.
In the future we aim at our guests feeling regenerated and energized after travelling with us. We also enable customers using our travel services to leave a positive legacy to the destination either by including donation to charity or by participating in an activity that helps to preserve the nature or supports the local community.
