Wellness consultancy Raison d’Etre has announced a new sustainability initiative to integrate an all-encompassing ‘green strategy’ into its design projects, starting in 2020.
The company, which has worked with over 160 spas in more than 70 countries, hopes the initiative will help further cement its position in the hotel and wellness industries as an instigator of eco-friendly practices.
The new ecological guidelines will ensure that every wellness design project by Raison d’Etre supports sustainability – in every dimension of how it’s designed and in its social, cultural and economic environment.
Raison d’Etre has designed its new green strategy to focus on four key areas:
The environmental impact of materials and fabrics used in construction and interior design
The quality of air in the region
The quality of water in the region
The quality of light in the region.
It will apply its green consulting services to projects involving recreational, educational and professional buildings, as well as hotels and resorts, residential buildings and spas, clinics and medical facilities.
Anna-Cari Gund, Managing Director at Raison d’Etre, says: “Our team is spread across the globe, so we have a finger on the pulse of the international challenges that come with adopting sustainable practices – which we share in our Think Tank Sessions.
“This knowledge has helped us create considered, ecological standards that will allow us to support developers, contractors and owners in incorporating stainable practices into their businesses.”
