Sustainability
At Northland, we take sustainability very seriously. The Philippines is a country at high risk from climate change, and is one of 18 mega-biodiverse countries, containing two thirds of the earth’s biodiversity and 70-80% of its plant and animal species. We believe it is our responsibility to guard this heritage and treat natural resources with the respect they deserve.
Ethical treatment of animals, and supporting local communities and indigenous culture goes hand in hand with sustainability. We are committed to being a socially and environmentally responsible organization.
Sustainability Goals
Solar Power: Our goal is to be 100% run on Solar Energy by 2028.
Reduce Plastic: We plan to reduce our single-use plastic usage to 0 by 2027, and plan to be completely plastic free by 2028.
Sustainable Local Materials: We prioritize the use of sustainable local materials as we renovate our hotel and resort. We also seek to purchase our textiles, art and other design elements from local communities and artisans.
Composting: We plan to compost 100% of our organic kitchen waste by 2026.
Education: We are developing itineraries and educational materials around the beauty and uniqueness of Philippine biodiversity and natural heritage.
