We are committed to promoting personal wellbeing, resource sustainability, and the health and regeneration of our planet. Our goal is to remain responsive to evolving green principles, products, and technologies, applying the best social and environmental practices to benefit our employees, clients, and communities.

While starting a movement is powerful, we recognize that many small, individual actions create monumental change.  So we invite you to join us and embrace the #PowerOfOne

As a member of the wellness community, I pledge to commit to improving the following:

  1. Rethink, Refuse, Reuse, Reduce, Repair, Recycle – I pledge to move myself and my organization towards a more circular economy where consumption is not a given, where we use less than we have before, where we reuse and repair when possible and recycle anything that can be recycled.
  2. Limit Plastics –  Minimize single-use plastics and replace plastic water bottles with refillable options.  If my organization uses plastic bottles, I pledge to try to change this.
  3. Conserve Water – Move to water efficient fixtures and make changes to reduce housekeeping and landscaping water usage.
  4. Switch to Alternative Energy – Invest the time and resources to use alternative energy if possible.  Encourage guests to reduce their consumption (i.e. turning off lights when leaving the room.)
  5. Support Local – Invest in the local economy and small business suppliers of goods and services.  Local reduces transportation, supports local businesses and provides a sense of authenticity within treatments.
  6. Choose Sustainable and/or Organic Products – Know the supply chain and be sure the products used and consumed are sustainably sourced and packaged.  This may require a mindset shift as many luxury products are packaged to feel bigger and heavier.  I pledge to be part of this education process.
  7. Promote Plant-based Food and Beverages – Cultivating grazing land for cattle is a major source of deforestation and the cattle are a major source of greenhouse gas emissions.  Try to eliminate Commercial fishing sources that do not adhere to sustainable practices as they are eroding our oceanic resources. Plant-based diets significantly improve the effects of climate change and use less natural resources.
  8. Measure Sustainability Impacts – It is difficult to understand true impact without measurement, no matter how basic the measurement.  Commit to implement measurement of your sustainability efforts and metrics.

I will make a difference and create positive change. GSN Planet can count on me to implement these 8 steps above to help create a greener future for the planet and the people on it.

Please take these bullets, implement them, add your own logo and share your stories with us.  Thousands of small movements create monumental change. Thank you for being part of our movement.
