IPDT Services
We support your tourism business in defining an integrated, long-term approach.
An integrated approach that enables businesses to align their activities with social, cultural, economic, and environmental sustainability goals. Within this framework, we develop targeted policies, strategies, and actions designed to minimise the negative environmental impact of organisational activities through the reduction and/or controlled management of natural resource consumption. This contributes to greater efficiency, improved societal well-being, and the long-term preservation of the planet.
To ensure the effectiveness of this process, we incorporate mechanisms to measure and monitor performance against defined goals. This enables the organisation to assess its progress, make informed adjustments, and communicate its achievements to stakeholders.
Why have a Sustainability Strategy and Action Plan?
We understand sustainability not as a set of isolated policies, but as an integrated and continuous journey of improvement and commitment. This requires setting clear and measurable goals and ensuring effective and efficient implementation through the broad engagement of the organisation’s various stakeholders.
A Sustainable Future Begins with a Plan
Choosing IPDT to develop your Sustainability Strategy and Action Plan means opting for a practical approach tailored to the specific needs of your tourism business. Our experience as EarthCheck ambassadors enables us to define clear goals and engage all stakeholders, delivering sustainable solutions that create value for both the business and the community. This process is grounded in internationally recognised standards, which may later serve as the foundation for formal certification.
The adoption of sustainability practices is not merely a corporate responsibility, but a smart strategy that can lead to competitive advantage. By embracing responsible practices, your organisation not only contributes to a more sustainable and equitable world, but also positions itself as a leader in a future where sustainability is key to success.
