Introducing the James Villa Holidays Green Scheme
Welcome to the James Villas Green Scheme, a unique collection of greener and more environmentally friendly accommodations promoting a more Eco-friendly holiday experience.
The James Villas Green Scheme identifies properties whereby owners and suppliers have taken extra steps to be kinder to the environment. We only include properties that have met our assessment criteria and reward those who do well by showcasing their achievements to our customers. We do this by displaying an award logo against their property in the brochure and website, and a certificate to display within their property.
The Criteria
We have established our Green Scheme by creating a criteria which focuses on environmental and social sustainability, in the hope that we are able to provide more sustainable properties to our customers. The scheme also helps protect and respect their local environment and the local communities where they operate. We encourage accommodation owners to think sustainably by encouraging recycling, waste minimisation, using renewable energy, energy and water efficiency. We provideing more information about the local area and facilities, encourage guests to use local transport, walk or cycle and purchase locally produced goods by visiting local markets.
