Responsibility in our hotel

We share a tradition and culture of doing more than is expected — for our guests, our employees, the community and the environment.

Responsibility at our hotel is about how in our daily operations we take care of people, the environment and profitability at the same time. We will create possibilities for people both in and out of our operations. We will run hotels so that they have the smallest environmental impact. We will make our guests feel a little bit better when they check out than when they checked in.

Responsibility is part of our identity and our culture, and we are very proud of it. Here's what we do in Hotel Lilla Roberts.

Certificates & Goals

Nordic Swan Ecolabel

We are proud to share that Hotel Lilla Roberts has now been awarded the Nordic Swan Ecolabel. Only products and services that meet ambitious environmental requirements can receive the Nordic Swan Ecolabel, one of the world’s most recognised and rigorous environmental certifications.

The Nordic Swan Ecolabel sets high standards for the circular economy, efficient use of resources, reuse and recycling. At the same time, it helps to reduce climate impact and supports the preservation of biodiversity.

These values are an essential part of Hotel Lilla Roberts’ sustainability work and guide our actions every day.

Sustainable Travel Finland (STF) labeled

To ensure the tourism industry can meet changing demands and secure its future, development must be sustainable. To support this, Visit Finland has created the Sustainable Travel Finland program, designed for tourism businesses and regions. Achieving the program's requirements grants businesses the Sustainable Travel Finland (STF) label.

The STF label is regularly renewed, and the Sustainable Travel Finland program and its criteria are periodically updated. This ensures that tourism operators participating in the program continue to meet increasingly stringent sustainability requirements.

Sustainability in our hotel family

At the level of our whole Strawberry hotel family, we have set the following goals for the environment:

* Our goal is to be climate neutral within our own operations by 2030, while also halving emissions in our supply chains.

* We are working hard and proactively to reduce food waste by 50% in our operations by 2026.

Helsinki Pride Main Partner

To quote our owner Petter Stordalen: "We support Pride because we want to send the message that our doors are open to everyone, no matter who you love or who you identify as. We take a stand for equality and respect."

We are honoured to be part of building a more equal society.

Lonely Christmas Tree – Gifts for children

With this Lonely Christmas Tree gift collection we want to support the idea that even the children that grow up in difficult situations could get at least one Christmas gift. Bring your christmas gift by 19th of December under our Christmas Tree!

Donation for Andreas Church

When Markus Österlund from Andreas Church received an email from Hotel Lilla Roberts, he thought there would be complaints about long queues in front of the church. But on the contrary - our restaurant manager Mia Pikkarainen and our head chef Karri Knaapila had seen the long queues and wanted to donate the malted bread baked at Restaurant Krog Robassa to those in need!
