Working in a sustainable way

Discovery Breaks

We believe it is possible for us to live more comfortably yet sustainably. Tourism holds a unique opportunity, not yet realised, to demonstrate how easy this is to do in our everyday lives. Our Discovery Breaks enable guests to discover and take-home this experience, in an enjoyable and interactive way for all.

• Accommodating inspiration – comfortable guest accommodation that in turn accommodates inspiring ideas promoting sustainable living.
  
  
• Enjoyable for guests – relax in attractive settings, enjoy the unique accommodation and discover local attractions, facilities and activities.
  
  
• Positive for local people – all year round tourism in partnership with local people, welcoming visitors and enhancing the local economy and services.
  
  
• Healthy for the environment – positively healthy holidays which encourage guests to take-home the experience and make a real difference everyday.
  
  
• Sustainable and businesslike – bringing out the value of innovation and sustainability for investors and stakeholders.

Home Products range

We aim to provide quality plus products for our customers that will help us all achieve a more sustainable future – products, for example, that need less resources, last longer and pollute less than other - usually more accepted - options.

We aim to source our products from suppliers with good environmental and social policies and credentials. Ideally this will be a local supplier but where there is no local supplier we will introduce products from elsewhere with the intention of encouraging a local supply chain to be created in the future.

In the longer-term…

Our overall aim is to inspire and work with our customers, suppliers and other stakeholders so that we can together help achieve positive long-term environmental benefit, saving over 10 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions over the next 30 years.

We aim to extend shareholder ownership of Natural Discovery to people who work with us to help achieve local sustainable tourism: to local people, our staff, suppliers, customers and other Natural Discovery stakeholders.
