Children's Cultural Centre Aurora part of the environmental pledge of Espoo’s Cultural Venues

Sello Hall, Espoo Cultural Centre, Kannusali, Children’s Cultural Centre Aurora and WeeGee Exhibition Centre, all part of the City of Espoo’s Cultural Venues and Services, have been awarded the EcoCompass environmental certificate. The EcoCompass environmental certificate is a sign of sustainability and awarded in recognition of good environmental work. Auditing for the certificate is carried out by an independent expert. 

The Cultural Venues and Services’ environmental pledge includes promises to, among other things, recycle waste efficiently, use recycled materials in workshops and events, take energy efficiency and a long life cycle into account in the procurement of performance technology, and increase the share of vegetarian, organic and local food in catering procurements.  

The environmental certificate marks the start of new changes and a review of old practices, but the development work on sustainability in the Cultural Venues is still ongoing.  

The EcoCompass is fully owned by Finland’s oldest and most influential environmental organisation, the Finnish Association for Nature Conservation. Read more about the EcoCompass environmental management system on the EcoCompass website: ekokompassi.fi (external link, opens in a new window)
