Environmental evidence and weighted assessment
3.4/5 Accommodation Eco Score · Evidence coverage 100% · Evidenced performance 63.8%
| Pillar | Weight | Level and what it means | Contribution | Evidence and source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nature, biodiversity and regeneration | 30% | 2/4 · A named area of habitat kept undisturbed, or one named native planting or conservation activity | 15 / 30 points | The environment page covers both Jade Mountain and Anse Chastanet; the shared on-site dive operation Scuba St. Lucia runs coral nurseries on Anse Chastanet Reef and Turtle Reef. The Soufriere Marine Management Area credit belongs to Anse Chastanet, so only the shared reef programme is counted, at level 2. Source · 2026-10-29 |
| Energy and climate | 15% | 2/4 · One specific system, such as solar hot water, a stated photovoltaic share, or buildings designed to need no air conditioning | 7.5 / 15 points | Sanctuaries are naturally ventilated with no in-room air conditioning or televisions and utilities are monitored daily, but there is no renewable power; the resort is grid powered and its 2026 report gives 217 kWh and about 168 kg CO2e per guest night from a fossil fuel grid. Source · 2026-10-29 · Corroborating source |
| Water | 10% | 3/4 · Several systems, such as rain harvesting plus wastewater treatment and reuse plus low flow fittings | 7.5 / 10 points | The page states the resorts operate an on-site wastewater treatment system polished through reed beds for irrigation, with low flow fittings and daily monitoring; a restored 18th century reservoir collects rain and river water for the estate. The 2026 Jade Mountain report gives 777 litres per guest night. Source · 2026-10-29 · Corroborating source |
| Waste and plastic | 10% | 3/4 · Composting plus recycling plus no single use plastic in rooms and food service | 7.5 / 10 points | Bulk purchasing to cut packaging, refillable amenity dispensers, composting of kitchen and garden waste and local reuse of old towels; the 2026 report measures 4.29 kg of waste per guest night. Source · 2026-10-29 · Corroborating source |
| Food, farming and sourcing | 15% | 3/4 · Own farm or organic land supplies a large share, with named local suppliers and seasonal menus; consolidated local supply rather than daily imports | 11.25 / 15 points | Its own Emerald Estate farm is run on regenerative principles and supplies organic fruit, vegetables, herbs, cacao and honey from its own hives, alongside fish and produce from Saint Lucian suppliers. No share of supply is published. Source · 2026-10-29 · Corroborating source |
| Buildings, heritage reuse and land use | 15% | 3/4 · Several practices, such as reuse of existing structures, local natural materials, passive design and a small footprint on the land | 11.25 / 15 points | Open sided, naturally ventilated sanctuaries designed for the tropical climate, extensive daylighting, and retention of existing vegetation and waterways to limit erosion and runoff. Source · 2026-10-29 |
| Measurement, transparency and certification | 5% | 3/4 · A current third party certificate confirmed in the certifier's own directory, or measured data published for one year. Tiers earned by years certified add nothing | 3.75 / 5 points | Publishes a property specific 2026 sustainability report (February 2024 to January 2025) with Jade Mountain's electricity, water, waste and CO2e totals and per guest night figures, through the EPIT platform and checked against utility bills. No current third party certification; Travelife Gold was last announced in 2019 and the resort itself says sustainability is not a certification. Source · 2026-10-29 · Corroborating source |
Throne Standard for stays 2.2. Accommodation Eco Score weights: Nature, biodiversity and regeneration 30%, Energy and climate 15%, Water 10%, Waste and plastic 10%, Food, farming and sourcing 15%, Buildings, heritage reuse and land use 15%, Measurement, transparency and certification 5%. Each pillar earns its weight times its level divided by four. The score is 1 plus 4 times the evidenced performance, shown to one decimal, so 0% is 1.0 and 100% is 5.0. Missing pillars lower coverage and stay outside the calculation. A score needs at least 70% coverage. Below 85% coverage, below 70% performance, or with less than half the weight at level 2 or above, the score is held under the next whole number (3.4 or 2.4). A 5.0 band needs 90% coverage and performance, level 4 evidence on half the weight and the key pillar at level 3 or above. Every level can be earned from public, dated evidence; no score requires a visit. Evidence must be rechecked within two years. Guest travel is not scored; everyone gets there how they can.
