We embrace the challenges of responsible tourism openly. Yes, building a lodge requires resources and trees, and yes, travel has an environmental footprint. But denying these realities is not the path to sustainability. Instead, we acknowledge our impact, aim to improve continuously, and strive to leave as little negative footprint as possible. By sourcing food from local suppliers, constructing villas with natural, durable materials, and investing in eco-conscious infrastructure, sustainability is woven into every aspect of Riekko Lodge.
Riekko Lodge is deeply committed to supporting the local economy. Our culinary offerings highlight locally sourced ingredients, from reindeer and fish to berries and herbs, celebrating the rich flavors of Lapland. We prioritize hiring local staff and collaborate with nearby businesses, artisans, and service providers, ensuring that the benefits of tourism remain within the community.
We strive to minimize environmental impact wherever possible. By reducing unnecessary logistics, encouraging guests to choose sustainable transport, and emphasizing recycling and waste reduction, Riekko Lodge integrates ecological responsibility into daily operations.
Our lodge is powered by renewable energy sources, including wind and hydropower, which significantly reduce our carbon footprint. Using clean energy supports both sustainable development and the preservation of Lapland’s fragile Arctic ecosystems.
From construction to renovations, we use natural materials that not only reflect the region’s aesthetics but also minimize environmental impact. These choices create enduring buildings that harmonize with the surrounding landscape.
As part of our commitment to reducing fossil fuel use, we are transitioning to electric vehicles, lowering emissions and contributing to a cleaner Arctic environment.
Our sustainability efforts will soon be validated through Green Key and Sustainable Travel Finland certifications, demonstrating our dedication to responsible tourism. Guided by the UN Sustainability Principles, we actively monitor and report progress toward our environmental and social goals, ensuring that every guest experience aligns with a commitment to sustainability.
