Our social responsibility is reflected in every decision we make, which is why they must be informed and sustainable. Decisions that create a sense of security for visitors and help reduce the centre’s ecological footprint. We see every day that good decisions build trusting relationships with tenants, which in turn allows us to collectively contribute to a supportive environment for people, building confidence in all employees and their families.
That is why we invest in projects that promote equal opportunities, health and environmentally conscious behaviour, both within Ülemiste Centre and in society at large. To this end, we have developed, in close cooperation with our tenants and partners, five focal points of social responsibility, which we work on together every day.
Ülemiste involves everyone
Ülemiste involves everyone
Every day, the entire Ülemiste Centre team works to be responsible towards people and the environment in everything we do. We are happy to involve all members of our community, from tenants to visitors, in our community projects, because the joy of working together is always the greatest, and ultimately leads to the best possible outcome.
Watch the video of our responsible business panel at the Rentnike Suurkogu.
In our activities, we are guided by the company’s values and code of ethics, which describes and directs our behaviour towards our visitors, partners, owners, each other, and society as a whole.
Constant communication is the basis of everything
It is important for us to have an open and consistent relationship with our tenants and partners. This is a way for everyone to have their say, because social issues are a common concern.
Always available for our tenants:
Communication: monthly information sessions, ongoing information on the website, newsletters 1–2 times a month, SMS with reminders (about campaigns, events, information sessions, etc.), annual Rentnike Suurkogu and monthly meetings of the tenants’ council
Support: new tenant start-up package, in-house tours, ABC of marketing training, digital evacuation training for the staff
Well-being: free parking on the fourth and fifth level of the car park, changing rooms with washing facilities, discounts for in-house staff in shops and restaurants
Motivation: competition ‘Best Shop’, New Year’s Gala
Pleasantly cosy feeling
The satisfaction of our employees is one of our priorities. We are always there for them and we are also constantly working to raise our people’s health awareness.
We strive to make Ülemiste a pleasant and stimulating place to work. We carry out a variety of surveys to get feedback to help us improve even more.
Together we are environmentally conscious
Together we are environmentally conscious
We are continuously reducing the environmental impact of the centre’s activities. We help our tenants and visitors to do the same. We are finding ever better solutions to reduce our climate impact. We are committed to ensuring that Estonia’s forests remain viable in the future.
Smaller footprint, better life
We are recycling with pride. You can send bottles, paper, glass, and packaging to a new life cycle, and take your used clothes to the Recycling Closet.
Some of the bins in our customer areas offer pre-sorting. In addition, we have smart bins, which compact the waste themselves and are therefore more economical.
We are actively involved in environmental pilot projects, which have resulted in the use of Ringo reusable packaging and the possibility to return Tetra Pak cartons in several of our cafés and restaurants.
We covered 1,100 square meters of the Ülemiste center parking lot with green asphalt produced in Estonia and reduced CO2 emissions by 85% by installing it.
We moved beehives on the roof of the center and received more than 200 kg of high-quality honey with the first harvest.
Protecting Estonia’s forests
Ülemiste Centre has been supporting the Estonian Fund for Nature since 2018. With our help, we have created a website promoting nature-friendly forestry at https://elfond.ee/metsaomanikule, a nature trail in Pokumaa, and organised a well-received seminar ‘Kes hoiab tulevikus metsa püsti?’ (‘Who will keep the forest standing in the future?’).
Our choice is renewable energy
We optimise the centre’s daily energy consumption with solutions from R8 Technologies and prefer renewable energy.
Our centre has the BREEAM green label. This means that the sustainability of the building has been ensured, environmental protection has been taken into account, as well as the requirements for materials and technical systems. The BREEAM standard covers the development as a whole, i.e. the building from the surrounding traffic management to the technical systems inside the building. Ülemiste Centre is currently certified as ‘ very good’. We are aiming for a high-quality standard of ‘excellent’. Read more
Good health is the foundation of everything
Good health is the foundation of everything
Good health makes you feel good and keeps you going. We promote health-conscious behaviour in our communities by offering healthy choices at every turn. In addition, we place particular emphasis on cleanliness and a high-quality indoor environment.
Smart systems ensure clean air
We place particular emphasis on a high-quality indoor climate to ensure that everyone in the centre feels good. To this end, in partnership with R8 Technologies, we have created an automated climatic environment in the centre at the lowest possible cost.
We have been awarded the clean air label developed by the Union of Merchants and the Consumer Protection and Technical Supervision Agency.
