At Swile, we want to give our users the freedom to choose how they travel. In the Holiday Shop, you’ll find a "Responsible Holidays" category, which highlights our partner brands committed to respecting local areas and the people who live there, whether it’s accommodation, activities, or transport solutions.
💚 How do we select our partners?
To identify them, we’ve developed an evaluation method based on the following elements:
16 criteria are assessed, divided into 4 main pillars:
Environment: use of renewable energy, waste reduction, water conservation, low-carbon transport, eco-friendly construction, and more.
Social and local impact: working with local producers, inclusion and accessibility, sustainable working conditions, support for community projects, and so on.
Governance and certifications: official certifications, formal CSR policies, ongoing improvement initiatives, membership of committed networks, etc.
Transparency and communication: dedicated sustainability pages, sharing of key indicators, open communication, raising customer awareness, and more.
A 20-point scoring system: each criterion is worth between 1 and 3 points depending on its level of requirement. Having environmental and/or social certifications or labels (such as B Corp, Green Key, EU Ecolabel, ATR, etc.) is especially valued.
A minimum eligibility threshold of 10 points: brands must reach this score to be labelled "Responsible Holidays", reflecting a significant and well-rounded commitment to sustainability across several areas.
💡 Important details
The evaluation is carried out based on the information provided on our partners’ websites. We rely on publicly available data and the commitments shared by the partners themselves when scoring them.
