Collective Retreats is proud to be the first and largest global outdoor hospitality brand to receive certified B-Corp status.
Since our inception, our core values have been focused on continually creating positive social and environmental impact for the communities we serve. This certification represents a milestone in our commitment to connect people, build a greater awareness for the natural beauty that surrounds us and reinforce our deep-rooted belief that we can deliver unique luxury travel experiences that are more memorable and less extractive than traditional hotels.
Hotels can be a surprisingly dirty business. Tourism is responsible for roughly 8% of the world’s carbon emissions. The majority is emitted by visitors from high-income countries, with U.S. travelers at the top of the list. We founded Collective Retreats to solve this problem and our team is connected by a deep and relentless passion for our cause. We need to protect the beautiful places we love to explore and enjoy and are committed to uplifting the people and communities we rely on for services, experiences, and indulgences.
Collective Retreats is a Public Benefit Corporation, a corporate structure which legally obligates us to consider the impact of our decisions on the environment, not just shareholders.
As part of our sustainability and stewardship initiatives, we have partnered with the Arbor Day Foundation and will be planting one tree for every stay booked at a Collective Retreats location to help fight deforestation and climate change.
Why Fighting Deforestation is Important
The Collective name comes from our core belief that we’re inextricably tied to each other and to our world, and that travel is the way we experience, understand, and deepen that connection. Retreat is rooted in the idea that travel leads us to a more grounded and true version of ourselves. When you bring these two ideas together—exploration to foster deeper connection—you have the spirit of Collective Retreats.
Collective Retreats is an ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) focused experiential travel company redefining traditional hotels through a collection of unique luxury retreats in unexpected places. Each bold, eco-centric concept embraces the local landscape and culture of a destination, allowing guests to connect with the land, community, and with themselves through unique on-site activities, immersive culinary activations, personal hospitality, and culture-forward programming.
By breaking away from the traditional mold of a luxury hotel, Collective Retreats is opening up a whole new world of exploration where a transformative five-star luxury experience coexists with authentic ruggedness.
All of our existing and new retreat locations will adhere to our newly formalized sustainability standards articulated in our “Collective Good”.
The 3 pillars of Collective Good are: (1) Our Team, (2) Our Retreats, and (3) Our Communities. We’ve developed these areas of focus based on inputs from the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, and the Sustainable Accounting Standards board (SASB), as well as the B Lab Assessment.
In 2023, our first full year as a B-Corp, we measured our physical, social, and community-based impact. With each passing year we’ll report on how we’re doing—celebrating our achievements, while also recognizing areas for improvement. We will continue rolling out and enhancing new programs and ways of working to continuously improve and serve not only our guests and partners, but our community and world.
