At Kotatieva, nestled in the heart of the forest, we are dedicated to preserving the natural beauty surrounding us. Our commitment to sustainability encompasses environmental, social, and economic responsibilities.
Environmental Responsibility
Our location amidst pristine nature drives us to minimize our environmental footprint. We use renewable energy sources like wind and solar power. Recycling points are available for our customers, ensuring proper disposal of all waste, including cigarette butts, chewing gum, and hand warmers. We emphasize the importance of keeping our forests clean and protecting wildlife by advocating for responsible waste management.
We avoid using disposable utensils and prioritize sustainable alternatives. Our facilities are equipped with eco-toilets to reduce water consumption and waste. Additionally, we prioritize using domestic certified products and recycled equipment in our activities, ensuring that our operations are as eco-friendly as possible. The water used for ice skating and snow construction comes from the same swamp where the rink is frozen. This ensures that the water returns to nature in the spring.
Social Responsibility
Supporting our local community is a core value at Kotatieva. We employ local residents, providing stable job opportunities and fostering economic growth within the community. Our food ingredients are sourced from local producers, guaranteeing fresh and sustainable meals while supporting local businesses.
We collaborate with local partners for transportation, offering discounts, and engaging in sponsorships to strengthen community ties. These partnerships not only benefit our guests but also promote local businesses and sustainable practices. We offer free shared transportation to and from the park, significantly reducing traffic emissions.
Economic Responsibility
We are committed to ethical and transparent financial practices. Our operations adhere to the highest standards of integrity, ensuring that our business is conducted responsibly. Our buildings are constructed using traditional methods that respect and harmonize with the natural environment, reflecting our dedication to cultural heritage and sustainability.
Communication and Engagement
We believe in the power of communication to foster sustainability. Our sustainability efforts are actively communicated to our guests on-site, through our website, and via social media. We use dedicated hashtags and highlights to showcase our initiatives, encouraging our community and guests to participate in our sustainability journey.
