What does the "Committed Brands" category mean in the Holiday Shop?

At Swile, we want to give our users the freedom to choose how they travel. In your Swile account, under your Holiday Benefits section, you’ll find a category called “Committed Brands”. This is an internal editorial selection made by Swile, designed to highlight partner brands (accommodation, activities, and transport solutions) that have declared commitments to respecting local areas and the people who live there.

💚 How do we select our partners?

To identify them, we’ve developed a selection method based on the following:

• publicly available information on the partner brands’ websites
• 16 criteria are taken into account, grouped into four main pillars:
  • environment (e.g. waste reduction, eco-construction, low-carbon transport)
  • social and local impact (e.g. inclusion and accessibility, support for community projects)
  • governance and labels (e.g. official certifications, membership of an engaged network)
  • transparency and communication (e.g. dedicated eco-responsibility page, raising customer awareness)
• the presence of environmental and/or social labels or certifications awarded by independent third-party organisations, which are particularly valued (B Corp, Green Key, EU Ecolabel, ATR, etc.)
• brands must achieve a score that reflects a significant commitment across several aspects of their CSR performance.
