Corporate Social Responsibility
Corporate Social Responsibility
Responsibility is at the heart of everything we do.
We stand with nature.
The heart of what we do is the northern wilderness. Without its pristine snow, forests, and tranquility, we wouldn’t be able to offer the joy of skiing and outdoor activities that we strive to provide.
That is why we make sure that the environmental impact of our operations remains as low as possible.
- We maintain and recycle our equipment to ensure its longevity, reduce waste, and prioritize the use of renewable materials.
- We use energy-efficient solutions at our stores in Levi, Ylläs, Ruka, and Tahko.
- We are constantly developing maintenance methods that reduce the use of chemicals and water consumption.
- We work with local stakeholders to promote sustainable tourism throughout the region.
Nature provides us with everything—it is our responsibility to ensure that it is preserved for future generations.
We stand with the people.
For us, responsibility also means well-being and safety—for both our staff and our customers.
- Hill Ski Rent is a safe and inclusive space where everyone is welcome just as they are.
- The well-being, safety, and professional development of our staff are at the heart of everything we do.
- We promote equality and non-discrimination in everything we do.
- The safety of our customers is our top priority: our equipment is serviced regularly, and our staff is always on hand to help you choose the right and safest gear.
We believe that when people are happy, it shows in everything—including the kind of experience we’re able to offer.
We work with local people.
Hill Ski Rent is an integral part of Finnish nature and travel culture.
- We operate locally and collaborate with local businesses, educational institutions, and community organizations.
- We employ local people and support the regional economy.
- We are committed to building long-term relationships and working responsibly with our partners.
- We want our guests to experience an authentic local atmosphere at our destinations—people who know the area and its stories.
- We respect the local community and its traditions—they are what make each of our properties unique.
Renting is a responsible choice.
Renting equipment is good for the environment. A single piece of rental equipment serves dozens, even hundreds, of skiers over its lifetime—instead of everyone buying their own set, which often ends up gathering dust in storage.
- Renting reduces emissions from production and transportation.
- Serviced and recycled equipment lasts longer and conserves natural resources.
- When you choose to rent, you reduce your carbon footprint and support sustainable consumption.
At Hill Ski Rent, we want to make it easy to make a responsible choice—that’s why we offer high-quality, well-maintained, and safe equipment that stands the test of time and heavy use.
