NOW Manifesto

What is the
NOW Force for Good Alliance?

An affiliation of extraordinary places to stay that provides a sustainable travel experience and takes responsibility for their total impact on communities and the environment wherever they are.

Why We Do It?

  • To support the industry we know and love to help it to transform and thrive in the future.
  • To raise the bar on accountability and transparency around sustainability.
  • To drive transformative change whereby greenwash and the acceptance of poor environmental and social performance are no longer acceptable.

NOW understands that where travellers stay is key to their enjoyment and wellbeing, and hotels, resorts, lodges, cruise liners have an increasingly important role in helping their customers and guests to travel sustainably and influence their choices on sustainability.

Why Should It Matter?

  • To be a part of something better and prove that principles and profits can go hand in hand.
  • Because it matters to your customers and guests, your employees, your community, your reputation and your profit. Most important, it matters to our planet and future generations.
Sustainability Matters Because...
  • It’s the right thing to do.
  • It reinforces brand values and integrity.
  • It contributes to customer confidence, trust and loyalty.
  • It leads to responsible business practices.
  • It attracts employees with similar values and motivate retention.
  • It reduces costs and saves money ... and can also make the company money.

What We Don't Do?

  • NOW is not a sustainability certification company.
  • NOW is not an online travel agent (OTA).
