Sustainability resources

There are a lot of aspects you can consider when aiming for your organisation and its operations to be more sustainable. Leading sustainability certification programme Green Tourism has divided these into three pillars – people, places and planet.

People – including impacts on the local community; fair work; staff health and wellbeing; and diversity, equity and inclusion.

Places – including biodiversity and sustainable food.

Planet – including energy and water use; waste management; and carbon.

This page outlines some useful resources you can access to support you and your organisation on your sustainability journey.
