Looking for fun and responsible activities in Helsinki? You're in the right place.

These activities are run by companies that have the Sustainable Travel Finland (STF) label.

A travel business needs to go through a 7-step STF programme, as well as have a third-party environmental certification, in order to qualify for the label. The programme is free of charge, but it requires serious dedication and a lot of work in the long-term. Companies must commit to the core principles of Sustainable Travel Finland, taking transparent actions to mitigate the harmful impact they could have on the planet, people and communities. 

By choosing a STF labelled experience, you are directly supporting local sustainable tourism and helping to ensure a more profoundly positive local impact. Click here to discover more information about Sustainable Travel Finland.
