Sustainability

The cultural and natural heritage of Lapland is unique within the whole world. Therefore, all our tours and adventures are based on the values of sustainable travelling. Our team at Beyond Arctic is deeply committed to keeping our beautiful part of the world pristine by minimizing our environmental impact.

We employ a meticulous selection process for the locations on all of our tours, in order to ensure the highest levels of both sustainability and customer satisfaction. We remove and recycle all litter produced on our trips. All the wood we use is produced locally and impact to the nature is minimized. We don’t use any petrol-operated snowmobiles and we have modern vehicles to ensure the latest technology is used to reduce pollution.

As a socially responsible company, we also want to make sure that our staff is happy and well paid. We respect local cultures and ways of life and try to minimize our impact on it. We stand to protect the Arctic environment and care for the area where we operate.

By booking your Rovaniemi activities with us you are also showing your support to the Arctic area. Through our cooperation with the Protect Our Winters movement we are committed to help fight climate change and save snowy winters everywhere across the Arctic area.

In June 2021 our team was thrilled to receive Green Activities Environmental Certificate to recognize our work for responsible tourism during the last 5 years. We are also actively participating Sustainable Travel Finland program, which is nation wide sustainability program to help companies develop responsible tourism in Finland. In 2021 we were granted Sustainable Travel Finland label for our pioneering work for sustainable tourism in Lapland.
