NoHo Partners group conducted its first carbon footprint assessment in 2024. The results are available in the Sustainability Report

The Finnish Association for Nature Conservation has granted the EcoCompass environmental certificate to NoHo Events venues and Sushibar + Wine restaurants. This certificate is based on ten criteria and requires the implementation and monitoring of an environmental program. Sustainability practices have become a natural part of the daily operations in these venues.

All restaurants offer vegetarian options, and many also feature fully vegan menus.  

Our restaurants show great creativity in minimizing food waste. Surplus salads are donated to HESY (The Helsinki Society for Animal Protection) and sometimes to Korkeasaari Zoo. Through the ResQ app, over 2,400 meals have been saved from becoming waste. Used coffee grounds are sent back to the roastery for reuse. At events, e.g. trade fairs, during the final hour, waste is reduced by selling products that can no longer be sold the next day, at half price.

Recycling is a key part of everyday operations. We prioritize recycling wherever facilities allow. Internally, NoHo operates its own “marketplace” to repurpose equipment and supplies between restaurants.

Together with WWF, we created the New Nordic Set, featuring only green-listed domestic fish from the WWF seafood guide. For every set sold, EUR 0.50 was donated to WWF’s work for protecting the Baltic Sea, totaling EUR 5,000 in 2024. The collaboration continues in 2025.
