Now we have a chance to support them. Wherever you see the Green South Downs logo, it means that business has been assessed against a robust set of criteria around People, Place and Planet aligned to the UN Sustainable Development goals. Below you'll find three groups of Green South Downs certified businesses, Accommodation Providers, Visitor Economy/Food & Drink and Retail/Other.

Testimonials

 

 

"The team are chuffed to bits to have been included in the Green South Downs pilot scheme and to have achieved an independently verified Silver Green Tourism award. We have always taken environmental considerations seriously and the audit process has helped us to focus on our green credentials .  The audit, although hard work , was worth every effort. It helped us highlight and promote existing sustainability initiatives, whilst enabling us to focus and tackle areas needing improvement. We look forward to continuing our environmental journey with Green South Downs. This is just the beginning! " Lesley Foulkes, Langham Brewery

“We have found the whole process to be incredibly informative and useful and it’s changed the way that Woodfire works. We’re so pleased to have been part of the pilot.” - Mark Griffiths, Woodfire Camping

“As a micro-business, we found it a really good process to get us thinking about our journey to being a fully 'climate-positive' business. We have a much clearer vision and plan to grow 'in the right way' which will continue to positively impact our environment and local ecosystem.” - Nathaniel Loxley, Vitality Hemp
