Environmental evidence and weighted assessment

Environmental performance and evidence coverage are measured separately. Ownership and community information remain separate from this environmental rating.

Version 2.1 weights conservation and habitat at 30%, heritage reuse and land use at 15%, energy at 15%, water at 10%, waste at 10%, food at 10%, transport at 5% and transparency at 5%. A pillar contributes its weight multiplied by its performance level divided by four. Solar equipment alone cannot establish a high overall score. Missing pillars are excluded from the performance denominator and reduce evidence coverage. Performance levels: 0 documented absence or contrary evidence; 1 claim; 2 a specific implemented system; 3 several evidenced systems; 4 quantified outcomes or independently verified exceptional implementation. Ratings require at least 70% coverage; below 85% coverage they are capped at 3/5. If less than half the weighted evidence supports implemented systems, the rating is capped at 2/5. A 4/5 result requires at least 70% evidenced performance. A 5/5 result requires at least 90% performance and coverage, exceptional documented outcomes across at least half the total weight, and strong nature conservation. Evidence must be rechecked within two years.

Water Management Details Charela Inn collects rainwater via gutters into a 38,000-gallon tank, which is then processed through a water softener and purification filter system. Charela Inn uses this filtered rainwater as drinking water for guests from the tap and prioritises it for laundry, as rainwater is more effective than treated mains water for that purpose. Charela Inn draws on mains water as a supplement during periods of low rainfall.
What to do generally Guests visiting Charela Inn will be in a breezy, beachside environment, perfect for authentic Jamaican-hospitality and seaside relaxation in Negril, Jamaica
Food Details Charela Inn's restaurant is built on a farm-to-table philosophy rooted in the Grizzle family's agricultural background. Charela Inn grows its own tomatoes, vegetables and fruit on the family farm and rears its own cattle, goats and chickens, ensuring the quality and provenance of key ingredients. Charela Inn actively minimises imported food, sourcing what it cannot grow from other local Jamaican farmers. Charela Inn's managing director, Daniel Grizzle, trained in agriculture in the UK and applies that knowledge directly to the food programme, eating all meals at the restaurant alongside guests as a standard of quality.
About Water Charela Inn collects rainwater from roof gutters into a 38,000-gallon storage tank and treats it through a dedicated filtration and softening system before use. Charela Inn uses this water for guest drinking water and for laundry, where soft rainwater is preferred over treated mains water for better results and lower consumption.
Materials and composition 2 of 4
Materials Focus Charela Inn prioritises natural, locally grown materials in its outdoor spaces, including coconut and fruit trees used structurally as shade providers along the beach in place of manufactured umbrellas.
Natural Fibers Charela Inn's approach to materials is rooted in its Jamaican farming identity, favouring natural planting and organic landscaping over synthetic or imported alternatives. Charela Inn's beachfront is lined with coconut palms, breadfruit trees and tropical flowering plants that serve both aesthetic and practical purposes, reinforcing a natural environment for guests rather than an artificially designed resort aesthetic.

Eco Amenities Charela Inn operates solar panels for both electricity and hot water, collects rainwater through a filtration and softening system, and runs a working farm that supplies the on-site restaurant with fresh produce.
Off The Grid Charela Inn is not fully off-grid but actively reduces reliance on the national grid through solar panels that power the kitchen, freezers and heavy motors across one side of the building, supplemented by a gas system during cloudy periods.
Activities to do Charela Inn guests can swim in the Caribbean Sea directly from the property's private beach, snorkel among reef fish, and explore the hotel's lush tropical gardens featuring mango, coconut, palm and breadfruit trees. Charela Inn encourages guests to forage lemongrass, oregano and herbs from the garden, and staff share knowledge of local herbal teas and remedies including soursop leaf and aloe vera for sunburn and healing.
Farm / Garden Charela Inn operates its own 174 acre working farm called Cocoa Farm that supplies the restaurant with fresh vegetables, fruit and herbs, reducing reliance on imported produce. Charela Inn sources beef, goat and eggs from its own farm animals, which are reared naturally, and purchases additional produce from local Jamaican farmers.
Farm / Garden Space Charela Inn's farm is a separate property purchased by the Grizzle family after returning from the UK, currently in active production and recovery following Hurricane Melissa. Charela Inn's hotel grounds also feature extensive tropical planting including mango, coconut, breadfruit, banana and palm trees, as well as medicinal herbs and flowering plants maintained to attract local birdlife including hummingbirds.
Food Options Charela Inn has an on-site restaurant that has been central to the property since it was built in 1983, predating the hotel's expansion to 59 rooms.
Food Type Charela Inn serves Jamaican cuisine prepared using produce grown on the family's own farm and sourced from local Jamaican farmers.
