Here are the key points we have set as daily goals in our company:

Hotel

  • Yes, we save water!
    • We have installed water-saving taps in public areas. You can still sing in the shower, but keep it short—make sure the chorus fits into a single verse!
  • We use electricity wisely because there’s romance in the dark!
    • We use energy-efficient LED lights.
    • Hotel rooms are equipped with cardholders to activate electricity.
  • Paper? That’s so 90s!
    • We reduce paper use and share information via QR codes.
    • If guests need a receipt, we offer to email it instead, reducing the number of printed invoices.
  • Sorting waste – it’s like LEGO, but for adults!
    • We sort waste according to environmental regulations.
  • We’re smoke-free – because we love fresh air!
    • The entire V Spa Hotel complex is smoke-free.
  • Active movement – escape your comfort zone!
    • We encourage guests to rent a bike near the hotel or take a pleasant walk along the Emajõgi River.
    • We value time spent outdoors and happily introduce our guests to green Tartu.
    • Take the stairs instead of the elevator – you’ll see your steps count more than Instagram likes!
  • We reduce packaging!
    • We use soap and shampoo dispensers in hotel rooms and no longer provide single-use toiletries.
    • Housekeeping is done upon request, indicated by the door sign.
  • We support the circular economy!
    • We donate old blankets, pillows, and towels to animal shelters and furniture to children’s homes.
    • We value recycling and use recycled paper for room cards, gift cards, and more.
  • We clean surfaces naturally – just like grandma used to!
    • We carefully select the products we purchase, ensuring they are environmentally friendly or produced sustainably.

V Conference Centre

  • No more shuffling through piles of paper! In the conference center, we avoid traditional paper signs and instead use screens to display information.
  • No disposable dishes can be found – even in the mystery drawer!
  • Recycled paper is used for food labels – if we use paper, it must already have a story.

  • We sort waste according to environmental regulations.
  • We reduce paper use and share information through QR codes – after all, phones are meant to be useful!
  • We use energy-efficient equipment.

Catering

  • Our mindset is zero waste and nose-to-tail, and we strongly adhere to this approach. When designing menus, we aim to utilize raw materials to the fullest.
  • Our catering team follows the FIFO (First In, First Out) principle – they’re true ingredient ninjas, keeping all dates in check.
  • Waste and trash are sorted according to environmental regulations, including bio-waste management and bottle recycling. Even banana peels feel important when placed in the right bin!
  • We continuously monitor and reduce food waste.
  • At Joyce Restaurant, we use free-range eggs for dishes on the à la carte menu.
  • We offer tap water as a priority to our guests because it’s that good! The restaurant uses the Purezza double-filtration water system. 
  • The drinking straws in our fabulous cocktails are made from bamboo fiber and have an eco-label.

When we leave, we turn off the lights 😉
