Staygreen

Vision

We're expanding rapidly, to 90 aparthotels in 10 countries by 2030. The uncomfortable reality is that our expansion will come with an environmental impact.

Staygreen is our whole new approach to how we address climate change, how we use water, how we avoid pollution, how we make habitat for endangered species, and how we move away from a disposable to a circular economy.

We will rapidly lower the carbon footprint of the buildings we build, along with significantly reducing their carbon footprint as they operate.

We will move to full renewable electric operation including maximising onsite electricity generation.  

Sustainable growth

Growing, in a green way

To achieve Net Zero emissions at each site is our ultimate goal. We now require our development partners to complete detailed energy modelling with active participation to identify every opportunity for energy saving. As a member of the Irish Green Building Council, we're baselining our greenhouse gas emissions, energy sources, energy consumption, refrigerants and supplier emissions. Through a process of systems review, optimisation, and engaging with our asset owners, we are looking to reduce consumption.

How will we get there?

Our priorities

The three pillars of our ESG strategy are Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Waste Management, and Health & Wellbeing. We considered the UN Sustainable Development Goals throughout the process of developing our strategy, with short, medium and longer term goals, out to 2030.

We take transparency and accountability seriously in measuring and addressing our environmental impact, as evidenced by our completed Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) 2022 submission.

Furthermore our commitment to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) aligns our emissions reduction and net-zero targets with climate science, ensuring that we are actively contributing to a more sustainable future.
