Based on our surrounding environment, people\u2019s awareness, and their values, environmental friendliness is becoming increasingly important. We are also moving in this direction to ensure our daily operations are more sustainable and leave a smaller footprint. The V Spa Hotel complex includes a hotel, conference center, restaurant, and caf\u00e9. Each department approaches eco-conscious thinking and actions differently. Below are the key principles we have set as daily goals for our company:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list wp-el\">\n<li><strong>Adhering to environmental laws, recommendations, and developments<\/strong> \u2013 We are so compliant that even our office plants are up to date with the latest regulations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Reducing water consumption by using it efficiently<\/strong> \u2013 We try to avoid washing dishes with a single drop, but we know water is more precious than gold (and tastes better too!).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lowering electricity and heating energy use<\/strong> \u2013 If you\u2019re wondering why we wear sweaters in winter, it\u2019s simple: we save energy and step out of our comfort zone.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Reducing packaging waste<\/strong> \u2013 Less packaging means fewer fun cardboard boxes for cats, but we\u2019re saving the planet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Reducing paper use<\/strong> \u2013 Goodbye \u201cforgetful paper notes,\u201d hello digital reminders &#8211; our sticky notes are now in the cloud, not on the floor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sorting waste<\/strong> \u2013 Sorting waste is like a home sport where plastic and paper aren\u2019t friends, but rivals.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Using environmentally friendly cleaning agents<\/strong> \u2013 Our cleaning service is so green that even spiders approve.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Using high-quality and, where possible, local raw materials<\/strong> \u2013 No, we don\u2019t personally visit the pasture every morning, but we\u2019re close. Local produce is our ace.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Selling and using only eco-labeled and natural products<\/strong> \u2013 There\u2019s no room for chemicals on our shelves &#8211; just pure and natural goods because we care (and want to stay healthy too).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Supporting the circular economy<\/strong> \u2013 If something can be reused, we\u2019ll use it at least three times. Our motto: what goes around, comes around.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Promoting a smoke-free environment<\/strong> \u2013 Our smoke-free policy is so convincing that even smoking appliances are considering a career change.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Training and educating staff and guests on sustainable practices<\/strong> \u2013 Our environmental training sessions are so inspiring that even printers feel guilty.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Providing employees with a diverse and safe work environment<\/strong> \u2013 We foster an open and positive atmosphere where everyone feels included and valued. Our workplace embraces diversity &#8211; everyone has a role, and no one is left out (except maybe the occasional coffee cup).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Promoting and valuing active outdoor movement<\/strong> \u2013 Our team is so active that even the elevator feels neglected. If you see us holding meetings on a park bench or walking, know that\u2019s our new mobile office.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/vspahotel.ee\/en\/green-key\/\">Read More About Our Goals<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading wp-el\"><strong><strong>WASTE SORTING<\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-el wp-block-paragraph\">At V Spa Hotel, we care about the planet as much as your holiday, so we\u2019ve created an easy and fun system for sorting waste properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-el wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>On the first and second floors<\/strong>, you\u2019ll find bins for different types of waste:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list wp-el\">\n<li><strong>Glass packaging<\/strong> &#8211; Bottles, jars, and everything else glass (unbroken, please!).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Plastic, metal, and drink cartons<\/strong> &#8211;  For anything without a soul but with recycling potential.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mixed waste<\/strong> \u2013 Everything that doesn\u2019t fit the above categories.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cardboard and paper packaging<\/strong> &#8211;  Don\u2019t throw away books, but everything else cellulose-based is fine.<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-el wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>On the third and fourth floors<\/strong>, near the elevators, you\u2019ll find bins for mixed waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-el wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>In hotel rooms and bathrooms<\/strong>, life is made easy &#8211; there are bins for mixed waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-el wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Batteries and e-cigarettes?<\/strong><br>Don\u2019t worry, we\u2019ll take care of them!
