Ecoluxury Sustainability Journey

Ecoluxury Sustainability Journey
The Ecoluxury Sustainability Journey is a well-structured journey that leads partners in the knowledge and progressive improvement of their environmental, social and economic performance.  The programme is inspired by the principles of holistic sustainability, embracing the three key dimensions:  
▪  People:  valorisation of human resources, promotion of the well-being of employees and local communities. 
▪  Profit: efficient resource management, cost optimisation and value creation for all stakeholders. 
▪  Planet: protection of the environment, reduction of ecological impact and promotion of responsible consumption practices. 

The programme is based on an evaluation system that takes into account the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda, identifying the projects implemented by each accommodation facility and highlighting their contribution to the achievement of these global goals.
The Ecoluxury Sustainability Journey is elaborated by a team of experts in Applied Sustainability in Tourism, which guarantees personalised support and constant assistance to the partners in their improvement journey.
APPROACHING

 The Retreat already has systems in place to reduce its environmental impact, is interested in learning about new practices, and in implementing a management system that also takes into account the social realm of sustainability.


 IMPLEMENTING 

The Retreat applies good sustainability practices in several areas, but not always in a structured way, nor traceable to a precise sustainability policy. It does not yet have a figure responsible for sustainability, nor does it regularly communicate its commitment, nor any results achieved.


 COMMITTED 

The Retreat has adopted a sustainable management system and has defined a precise sustainability policy. It has a sustainability team or manager, follows a well-structured action plan with goals and responsibilities involving multiple departments. Trains staff and chooses suppliers in line with company values. The Retreat has a dedicated space for sustainability on its website and regularly narrates its goals and achievements on social media.
