The Sustainable Finland Pledge invites travelers to join this commitment by adopting responsible behaviors that preserve the environment and respect local cultures. The pledge encourages tourists to appreciate nature’s tranquility while ensuring its protection, maintain the cleanliness of forests and lakes by avoiding littering, and prioritize climate-friendly choices, such as drinking Finland’s clean tap water. 

It also emphasizes the responsible enjoyment of Finland’s natural resources, like berries and mushrooms, by staying on designated paths to minimize ecological impact. Additionally, the pledge highlights the importance of respecting wildlife habitats by camping only in appropriate areas and being considerate of others to ensure shared enjoyment of natural surroundings.
