We received an international sustainability certification
Biosphere – Sustainability Certification
What does the certification mean?
The Biosphere Sustainable certification is awarded to companies that are committed to the principles of sustainable development and the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The certification covers three key areas:
Environmental Responsibility – We focus on reducing emissions, using resources efficiently, and adopting environmentally friendly practices.
Social responsibility – We care for our staff, our customers, and the local community.
Economic responsibility – We operate transparently and ethically, while supporting the local economy.
Responsibility is important to us
Responsibility is not a new concept for us. We have long worked to ensure that our services are as environmentally friendly as possible and that we can offer a safe and comfortable travel experience to all our customers.
This certification is concrete proof that we are on the right track. It encourages us to continue our work to develop even better and more responsible travel services.
Follow us on social media
We want to openly share what sustainability means to us in practice. We’ll be sharing concrete examples of our everyday sustainability efforts—both big and small—on social media. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram to stay up to date!
Here’s an example of how we support our local community: Matka Mäkelä’s #softtrips safely transport Keuruu’s soccer players and staff to their destination 🧡⚽️.
