Sustainable Wellness Partner with FuturePlus

Over the last two years, Sustainable Wellness have witnessed the growing demand for guidance and support to measure and improve sustainability for the wider hospitality setting and a surge in interest from spa suppliers to find an affordable and educational way to approach the subject.

To meet this demand, Sustainable Wellness have formed a partnership with The Sustainability Group to provide access to a full spectrum of support for hotel and leisure destinations as well as the entire spa & hospitality supply chain through their platform, FuturePlus.

Lucy Brialey Founder of Sustainable Wellness told us “Our partnership with FuturePlus has brought a whole new dimension to our association.?We launched the Sustainable Spa Association (now Sustainable Wellness) with the purpose of advising and uplifting sustainability for spa and wellness destinations. Our spa members are mainly situated in larger hospitality settings and we very quickly realised the growing need and demand for advice, guidance and the measurement of sustainability for hotels and the supply chain. We spent our time looking at all the options and we are confident that the methodology and support that FuturePlus provides is ideal for our sector”

The FuturePlus methodology is fast becoming the number 1. system used by the spa, wellness and hospitality industry, to drive improvement through the sector and understand where they can make difference. Rather than setting a benchmark to be reached, FuturePlus provides a score to measure the success of every unique sustainability strategy. These scores allow organisations to understand where they are in relation to the spa, wellness and hospitality industry, as well as their own unique goals. The helpful team at FuturePlus then uses these scores to create each organisation a bespoke sustainability strategy to ensure results are measured and goals are met across five categories of Climate, Diversity & Inclusion, Social, Economic and Environment.

FuturePlus aims to make sustainability accessible, achievable, affordable, accountable and addressable for everyone.

There appear to be many options for measuring or verifying sustainability, so, what is the difference?

All you need is the commitment to begin and the ambition to improve. This revolutionary platform allows any organisation, of any size, to understand, measure, manage, improve and report their sustainability. The easy to use, on-line tool provides a verified sustainability score showing your current standing, but, bar far the most outstanding feature is the ability to set your organisation an ambition score based on where you want to be in three years. The team are made up of a group of advisors who provide ongoing support to help organisations meet their goals and provide a bespoke three-year sustainability roadmap which is created to wholly align with your business model.

The inspired concept for FuturePlus was developed by Co-Founders of the Sustainability Group, Alex Smith and Mike Penrose. They have a defined ambition to inspire every business, no matter their size, to implement the best possible sustainability practices to prepare for increasing legislation and consumer demand.

In previous roles,, Alexandra Smith led and managed high profile impact projects with sporting brands and commercial organisations internationally, with a focus on achieving commercial and environmental outcomes.

Mike Penrose is a world-renowned expert on risk management, who was previously Executive Director of Unicef UK, CEO of Action Contre La Faim in Paris and Global Humanitarian Director at Save the Children. During his career he was a former advisor to the FTSE4Good on their ESG trading index and part of a UN advisory group to help design the indicators that underpin the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Both Alex and Mike are advisors to the UN Sustainable Development Goals Fund and members of the Global Wellness Institute UN Sustainable Development Goal Initiative. Before partnering with The Sustainable Wellness Group, this pair were already making great headway in the hospitality industry and continue to do so.
