Green Key is a voluntary international eco-label for tourism companies, which around 4,000 companies from 60 countries around the world have signed up to. The Green Key label lets visitors know that the institution bearing it is committed to reducing its environmental impact.
According to Urmas Dresen, member of the Maritime Museum’s board of directors, the Green Key label is, on the one hand, a recognition of the work carried out, but on the other hand it provides support to take further measures to further reduce the museum’s environmental impact.
“We have introduced several measures to become environmentally friendly in the Paksu Margareeta complex. For example, intelligent automation solutions have contributed to energy efficiency, and instead of environmentally harmful cleaning chemicals, we use activated water to disinfect surfaces,” Dresen said.
“We will continue vigorously on this path, raising awareness among ourselves and visitors and looking for increasingly intelligent solutions that adapt to the medieval cannon tower,” promised Dresen.
One of the most important monuments of Tallinn’s Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Suur Rannavær with Paks Margareeta, where the maritime museum is located, was completely renovated in 2019. The museum offers a comprehensive overview of maritime history here, along with a large display of ship models and modern interactive solutions of a mid-14th century shipwreck found in Tallinn.
