Responsibility
The goal of sustainable development is to ensure that present and future generations have good opportunities for living. This also means the environment, people and the economy are treated equally in decision-making and action.
All the company’s activities, i.e. the main building, accommodation, caravan area and water park Tapioland are all located on self-owned land. The landscape has been preserved natural surroundings and the company is surrounded by a pine forest. The expansion of the accommodation facilities over the years has been carried out with minimum impact on the natural environment.
The company is heated with woodchip heating and supplemented with solar panels. Chips are produced partly (about 20%) from trees in our own forest and the rest is purchased from entrepreneurs in the surrounding area. The energy from the solar panels covers about 25%-35% of the total energy and the benefits are obtained from the beginning of April to the end of September.
The consumption of electricity and water is saved by the use of LED and sensor lights and automatic taps and automatic lighting systems.
Waste recycling is carried out by the rules. There is a recycling point in the yard for organic waste, cardboard, plastic, mixed waste, glass and metal. Our staff are used to being thrifty in the everyday life of a small business and we encourage our customers to do the same. We instruct our customers to pay attention to saving water and electricity.
70% of the cleaning products used are eco-labelled.
Tapion Tupa serves lunch in it’s restaurant every day. There is hardly any use of processed ingredients and the food is prepared in-house from scratch in a home-style cooking style. Bread, buns and pies used in the meals and the café are baked in-house.
Using domestic energy and providing home-made clean food and recycling waste helps to reduce the company’s carbon footprint.
Tapion Tupa has participated in Perho PRO’s Laatutonni Q1000 ‑quality award programme, which is tailored to the tourism industry and based on international quality development criteria, and has been awarded the Quality Tonni Diploma.
