The Body Camp Sustainability Statement

Minimising Consumption and Waste

We adhere to Spanish law when recycling and have clearly labelled bins to separate plastics, cardboard, glass and tin.

We compost ALL food waste.

Any packaging that we use is 100% recyclable and or biodegradable.

A commitment to reducing our plastic consumption, for example we encourage the use of re-useable water bottles and no longer supply bottled water in plastic bottles.

Paper free office and accounts. We only print where absolutely necessary.

Reducing our Carbon Footprint

• Working in the travel industry we are aware that we need to look at as many ways  as we can to reduce our carbon footprint.
• Reduce travel by holding online meetings whenever we can
• Car sharing
• Contribute to tree planting schemes to offset our carbon footprint.
• Encourage our guests to offset their own carbon footprint.
• Flexible working for staff.

Saving Energy

Taking care to save water, light and heat in all our premises by educating staff and guests on our protocol to do this.

Shopping Ethically

We ensure that our purchases are from ethically sourced suppliers, who pay fair wages and whose products do not damage the environment.

Sharing Benefits of a Plant Based Lifestyle

We are 100% plant based because we believe it is the healthiest, most nutritious, and delicious way to eat. It also has huge benefits for the environment:

Livestock farming has a vast environmental footprint. It contributes to land and water degradation, biodiversity loss, acid rain, coral reef degeneration, deforestation and pollution.

Commercial fishing also has a negative environmental footprint causing pollution, disease in local wildlife and creates dead zones in the ocean due to huge blooms of micro algae which eat up all the oxygen.

We support:

• Locally produced food including growing our own vegetables.
• Organic food where the soil has been looked after and not full of chemicals and pesticides.
• Seasonal food which is at its best and picked when it is ripe and at its most nutritious.
• A balanced diet and lifestyle for longevity which consists of mostly plant based eating.
• Including in your diet as much whole food as possible to look and feel healthier.

We support our favourite charity Wateraid by making an annual donation from our profit. We believe that everybody should have access to clean, safe drinking water.
Every year we support our chosen charities by donating holidays. We have helped The Peter Jones Foundation, NSPCC, Cancer Research UK and some private individual’s fundraising efforts for their community and cancer charities.
