Kindness & Sustainability at Mrs Santa Claus’ Christmas Cottage

Kindness in action

Kindness has always had a special place in Mrs Santa Claus’ heart. For her, kindness means caring for other people, animals, nature and ourselves. And often, kindness begins with a very small choice.

A little kindness goes a long way

Mrs. Santa Claus has a few simple tips to take with you while exploring Rovaniemi and Lapland:Choose local. Enjoy local restaurants, products and experiences during your stay in Rovaniemi.

  • Treat Lapland’s nature with care. Leave your surroundings as you found them and give animals and plants the space they need.
  • Enjoy Finnish tap water. Bring a reusable bottle and refill it during your stay.
  • Give your waste the right place. Use the recycling points available and follow local sorting instructions.
  • Take the bus when it suits your plans. Public transport connects Rovaniemi city centre and Santa Claus Village.
  • Use what you need. Food, water, energy and materials are all worth treating with care.
  • And remember yourself, too. Leave a little room for rest, time together and simply enjoying where you are.

 

How we put care into practice

At Mrs Santa Claus Christmas Cottage, we want the same care to be visible in the choices we make. We employ local people and cooperate with local partners. We sort waste, reduce unnecessary use of materials and pay attention to the resources we use. Finnish and Lappish traditions, our local community and our home in Rovaniemi are important parts of what we share with our guests.

Mrs. Santa Claus’ Christmas Cottage is part of Santa Claus Reindeer Oy,
a locally owned tourism company in Rovaniemi. Across our company, taking good care of our reindeer and their welfare is an essential part of our operations.

Santa Claus Reindeer is Biosphere Certified and holds the Sustainable Travel Finland (STF) label. These recognitions provide external verification of the work carried out across our company and guide us as we continue developing our practices.


For Mrs Santa Claus, it all comes back to one simple thought:
Kindness can be shared every day of the year with other people, animals, nature and ourselves.
