Discover the World Global secure ECOSmart Certification

Discover the World Global has become the first global sales and representation organisation of its type to secure Greengage’s ECOsmart certification. 

ECOsmart was developed by Greengage as a certification programme specifically for the business travel and hospitality sectors including TMCs, hotels and venues.  Discover the World Global’s award marks an extension of the sectors that can use ECOsmart to help achieve their sustainability goals.

To achieve the accreditation a 5 strong Champions team worked closely with the Greengage team over a period of 6 months.  The Champions were tasked with promoting sustainability internally to drive awareness across Discover the World’s entire global team.  

The ECOsmart process served to create a road map for Discover the World Global to further improve its sustainability and CSR credentials with future initiatives planned throughout 2025 including measuring the UK and European operations’ carbon footprint and training for the client facing sales teams.

Ian Murray, CEO of Discover the World Global, comments: “We embarked on the ECOsmart process to provide us with a strong sustainability strategy that integrates with our CSR policy.  We were impressed with how Greengage were prepared to take on the challenge of adapting ECOsmart for our sector and work closely with us to create a unique partnership.

“Unlike hotels and meeting venues, we have a very small office footprint in shared office providers selected for their strong sustainability credentials.  Our workforce is largely home based so Greengage adapted the ECOsmart parameters to fit our operations.”

Andrew Perolls, CEO of Greengage, comments: “Since its launch in 2020 ECOsmart has become the UK’s fastest growing and widely recognised sustainability certification used by hotels, meeting venues and agencies.  

“ECOsmart has a proven methodology but with flexibility built into it.  So our team were able to meet the needs of Discover the World Global’s business model.  We’re confident that Discover the World Global now have a template that can be rolled out in other locations worldwide.”
