Why it matters

Guests are asking for greener stays. Getting there shouldn’t feel daunting.

Travel agents and visitors increasingly ask for sustainable holidays, hotels and houses. For established properties that want to go green, becoming a certified eco property can feel like a long road.

That’s where we come in. Our consultants bring decades of experience setting up sustainability, conservation and social welfare programmes for hotels, camps, lodges and private villas.

Our approach

Your journey, step by step

From the first visit to certification, our consultants guide you at every stage, for as long as you need us.

About our approach
  1. 01

    Site visit

    We start on the ground, walking your property to understand how it really runs, from water and energy to waste and people.

  2. 02

    Sustainability report

    Your first report sets a baseline and proposes practical solutions, prioritised for your size, budget, location and needs.

  3. 03

    Systems & monthly reporting

    We set up management systems, with monthly reports that track consumption and production across every sustainability indicator.

  4. 04

    Certification

    If you want an internationally recognised certification, we guide the process and stay with you for as long as you need us.

Monthly reporting

Measure what matters, every month

We set up sustainability management systems with monthly reports that track your consumption and production across every indicator, with comparative infographics your management team can act on.

  • Department-level data entry with manager approval
  • Water, energy, fuel, chemicals and waste in one place
