What is ECOsmart for Agencies?
The ECOsmart certification for Agencies is the gateway to a more sustainable future in the world of Travel Management Companies and Event Agencies.
Designed to assess and position you as a sustainable company, we start with an in-depth online survey to understand where you currently are and pinpoint areas where you can make a real difference. From there, we craft a tailored roadmap, a practical plan with clear steps, guiding you towards certification. Once you’ve successfully achieved certification, you’ll receive more than just a certificate. We provide you with a comprehensive report, certification and marketing collateral that will serve as invaluable assets, helping you market your Agency’s commitment to sustainability and effortlessly answer those tough sustainability questions in client RFPs.
We review and update the plan on an annual basis to ensure you stay at the forefront of sustainability.
Why Certification?
Organisations are changing the way they operate. A Greengage survey revealed 81% of companies believe sustainability is very important to their business planning and working with sustainably focussed partners is a high priority.
In today’s world, sustainability isn’t an afterthought, it’s a core pillar of business success.
ECOsmart is not just a green badge; it’s a commitment to the future, a pledge to align your business with the values and expectations of today’s world.
