Our Environmental and Social Impact

Thank you for taking part in our retreat venue assessment process.

As a B Corp business we are committed to operating in an environmentally and socially responsible way and we select our local partners and retreat properties accordingly.

We are passionate about reducing the negative effects of tourism and enhancing the positive ones, such as supporting conservation, empowerment, education, and cultural exchange. I invite you to read our Responsible Retreat strategy here.

To help us measure the impact of our retreat at your property, I would appreciate it if you could complete the assessment below. Please feel free to be honest and realistic with your answers. In the tourism industry we are all on a journey towards being more sustainable in our work. Being open and transparent about our operations means that we can celebrate the positives and share knowledge and best practice to help make improvements.

Please feel free to mail contact me at any time if you’d like to discuss anything as you complete the form.

Thank you – Jools Sampson. Owner of Reclaim Yourself Retreats.
