REAL CHANGE IN ACTION
SUSTAINABLE SOURCING
Domus Stay's sourcing strategy places particular focus on distance, prioritising local suppliers to limit the climate footprint of product shipping. For guest amenity procurement, they choose products in recyclable or biodegradable packaging wherever possible, including drinking water served in refillable glass bottles. The brand engages only with third-party suppliers able to demonstrate clear environmental and social commitments, where possible through certification schemes such as organic and Fairtrade, including partnerships with other Butterfly Mark certified brands. For housekeeping, Domus Stay uses Diversey's non-toxic, environmentally conscious cleaning products. Guest amenities are supplied by Le Labo, a Certified B Corporation whose fragrances are 100% vegan and Leaping Bunny certified, and made using renewable energy, responsibly sourced packaging and a refill programme that reduces waste.
PEOPLE & CULTURE
To ensure the health, wellbeing and empowerment of their teams, Domus Stay has implemented a range of social policies and practices, covering diversity and inclusion, wellbeing, recruitment, appraisal and equal opportunities. Employees are offered cross-skills training, and private healthcare extends to all full-time team members. The business also strengthens its community ties through volunteering and partnerships.
SUSTAINABILITY PURPOSE AND SDG ALIGNMENT
The business's sustainability purpose is to care for people and the places that matter to them, focusing on social and environmental wealth creation. Domus Stay aligns its activities with three UN Sustainable Development Goals: responsible management of stock to minimise food waste (Goal 2); employee wellbeing through training, fair working practices and access to private healthcare (Goal 3); and sustainable business growth through quality employment and responsible suppliers who share their values (Goal 8). Sustainability remains a key consideration across the business, sustained through frequent training and the active participation of employees at every level.

A WORD FROM FOUNDER
Domus Stay was built on relationships – with the homeowners who trust us with their properties, the guests we look after, and the local makers and entrepreneurs we work alongside. Sustainability isn't separate from that; it's part of how we honour those relationships and the places we operate in. Our re-accreditation reflects the daily choices of everyone in the business, and it pushes us to keep raising the standard of what a responsible short-stay provider can be.

WHY POSITIVE LUXURY
Our clients lead culturally sophisticated, hyper-connected and global lives. Increasingly, their choices are shaped by a desire to travel mindfully and responsibly, and to connect with people who share their values. In a luxury travel market that trades above all on relationships and trust, the Butterfly Mark highlights Domus Stay as an independently-verified sustainable brand.
