Pandox Fair Play

As part of the Pandox Group Hotel Korpilampi is committed to the Fair Play sustainability strategy.

Just as in team sports, Pandox’s sustainability work is distinguished by high intensity, dedication and integrity.

Small and big actions for sustainability

Nature is of great importance to Hotel Korpilampi.
Our location in the northern Espoo Lake District on the shore of the beautiful Lake Korpilampi gives us the opportunity to offer our customers unique experiences in pure Finnish nature and therefore our entire staff is strongly committed to environmental responsibility and sustainable development.

Our own environmental work, such as waste sorting and recycling, using only eco-friendly cleaning detergents, etc., are supported by Green Key’s and STF labels guidelines for practical measures in everyday work.

Pandox’s monitoring systems, which measure various key indicators such the hotel’s energy and water consumption, the amount of accumulated waste, the use of chemicals and the CO-2 emissions resulting from hotel operations, are steering the improvement of the hotel property to increase energy efficiency and reduce emissions.
