Sustainability at Mercure Tallinn

Green by choice, thoughtful by nature.

Certified by Green Key and proud of it
We’re not just talking green. We’re living it. Mercure Tallinn holds the Green Key certification, the world’s leading eco-label for hotels that meet strict environmental standards. It’s more than a badge. It’s a promise. A promise that we’re running a hotel that puts planet-first practices at the heart of everything we do.

From reducing carbon emissions to supporting our local community, we believe great hospitality can (and should) tread lightly. Our mission is to offer you a stay that’s not just comfortable but also conscious.

At Mercure Tallinn, we are committed to acting ethically and responsibly in everything we do. Aligned with Accor’s values, we ensure a safe, inclusive workplace, respect human rights, and reject all forms of discrimination, exploitation, or corruption. We actively reduce our environmental footprint by promoting sustainability in daily operations and engaging guests and staff in eco-conscious practices. Through local partnerships and community support, we aim to create a positive impact beyond our hotel doors.

What are we doing and why does it matter?

Slashing our carbon footprint

We’ve dialled into energy efficiency, streamlined our operations, and we constantly monitor CO₂ output. From smarter heating systems to cleaner transportation choices across our supply chain, we’re committed to cutting emissions without cutting comfort.

Smarter resources, less waste

We don’t just reduce. We rethink.
Water-saving tech in all rooms and service areas
Monthly water tracking to keep usage in check
Recycled and sustainable materials used wherever possible
Zero-waste goals with our team sorting, recycling and reusing to keep waste out of landfills
Food waste control through smaller portions by design and careful menu planning in our restaurant

Going plastic-free, seriously

We’re phasing out single-use plastics, one smart swap at a time. From compostable amenities to reusable alternatives, we’re partnering with suppliers who share our mission to create a plastic-free hotel experience.

Tracking our impact and improving it

Every month, we measure our water, energy and material usage. Why? Because sustainability isn’t a one-off. It’s an ongoing process. One that keeps us accountable and keeps pushing us forward.

Inspiring action from the inside out

Sustainability only works when everyone’s involved. That’s why:

Our team is trained regularly to make greener choices every day
You’ll find small, simple ways to help the planet during your stay. No pressure. Just possibilities.

Why it all matters

We’re building something bigger than a hotel stay. We’re building a hospitality experience that respects the environment, uplifts our community and inspires more responsible travel. Every action counts, and together, we’re part of a brighter, more sustainable future.
