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.
Success also requires teamwork and mutual respect. Pandox has therefore named its sustainability strategy Fair Play.
Pandox’s most important contribution to more sustainable development is developing profitable, green properties and signing green leases with hotel operators. To succeed in this area Pandox needs to be an attractive employer that recruits and develops responsible employees and ensure that the business is operated in a responsible, ethical and efficient way.
Pandox sustainability strategy has five focus areas with underlying targeted areas:
Environment and climate, Responsible and fair business, Guest satisfaction and safety, Attractive and equal workplace
and Inclusive local communities. Read more about Pandox focus areas.
To facilitate sustainable work in all of these areas Pandox has formulated a Code of Conduct for employees and a Code of Conduct for Business Partners as well as an Environmental policy.
Small and big measures
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 guidelines for practical measures in everyday work.
Pandox’s monitoring systems, which measure e.g. the hotel’s energy and water consumption, the amount of 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.
