Sustainability Efforts and Initiatives
Heidi Grimwood, Vice President of ELE|NA Spa, expressed her pride in the team’s accomplishments: “This Gold Award is a testament to the unwavering dedication and tireless efforts of our team members across all properties. Each of our spas has appointed a Sustainable Ambassador who is constantly bringing new projects to life every month, ensuring that our sustainability efforts are continuously evolving and making a real impact. This recognition highlights our commitment to creating an eco-friendly and sustainable environment for our guests and staff alike.”
ELE|NA Spa’s success in securing these awards reflects its comprehensive approach to sustainability. Each spa under the ELE|NA brand has a dedicated Sustainable Ambassador responsible for introducing and overseeing new eco-friendly projects every month. These initiatives focus on reducing waste, conserving water, and utilizing sustainable products and energy sources.
Furthermore, Sustainable Ambassadors conduct workshops for guests, teaching them how to make sustainable snacks, home essentials, and skincare products. These hands-on activities provide guests with practical skills and empower them to adopt sustainable practices in their daily lives. By engaging guests in these activities, ELE|NA Spa extends its commitment to sustainability beyond its operations, fostering a culture of environmental responsibility among its clientele.
A Dual Approach to Sustainability
The efforts of ELE|NA Spa are not confined to operational practices but also extend to educating guests and staff about the importance of sustainability. This dual approach ensures that everyone involved with ELE|NA Spa is part of the journey towards a greener future.

The combined efforts of our staff, guests, and the broader community are essential in driving the positive changes needed to protect the environment. By continuously evolving our practices and setting new sustainability benchmarks, ELE|NA Spa is leading the way in the wellness industry.”
