As part of our collaboration with GSN Planet, WellSpa 360 covers important spa sustainability topics all year long—as we should! Still, eco-friendly practices are especially top of mind in April, as we head into spring and toward Earth Day.
It’s a time where we can really take stock of the ways in which we can be stewards of our planet. This includes personal choices, of course, but sustainable business operations like waste and water management, recycling and digital options can be much more immediately impactful—think of how much skin care is used at your spa versus your home, for instance.
Vendor partnerships are critical as well, so I’m highlighting brands that are already B Corp certified, meaning that they have undergone a rigorous audit to ensure their manufacturing processes put people and the planet above profit. It’s just one of many ways that a spa can do its part to make an impact while still providing a luxurious product experience.
Happy Earth Month!
