| 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 | Solar water heating for hot water and LED lighting throughout; Green Globe confirms solar water heaters supply suites and the kitchen. No renewable electricity. Source · 2026-10-29 · Corroborating source |
| Water | 10% | 2/4 · One specific system, such as rainwater harvesting, greywater reuse, or taps and showers at or under 8.5 litres a minute | 5 / 10 points | A rain harvesting and storage programme, which Green Globe says stores water for landscape irrigation.

| Waste and plastic | 10% | Missing or stale evidence | Unknown | |
| Food, farming and sourcing | 15% | 4/4 · Measured share published, at least 80% from own land or named local producers, or at least 90% certified organic | 15 / 15 points | Green Globe's recertification article, dated 7 August 2024 in its page metadata, states locally and organically produced vegetables make up 70 percent of kitchen purchases; the current official community page restates that almost all food comes from the property and local organic farms.

| 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 | Hand built into the Piton landscape using wood, stone and clay sustainably sourced on the property, with furniture made in the resort's own woodshop.

| 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 | Ladera Resort is listed under Platinum Members on Green Globe's Caribbean members directory; Green Globe's 7 August 2024 article reports a 91 percent compliance score at recertification. The directory defines Platinum as 10 consecutive years, while Green Globe says Ladera was first certified in 2018, so the tier label looks inconsistent but membership is current.

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.
