With customers becoming increasingly aware of the climate crisis, spa businesses are under increased pressure to actively show they are forward-thinking when it comes to implementing more sustainable options within their business. Recognising the importance of sustainability, both from a spa and education perspective, Raison d’Etre’s global online spa management course, Spa Business Education, has enhanced its comprehensive sustainability module within its 2022 spa management course.

Spanning across 6 new chapters, students can expect to cover sustainability within Design & Construction, Energy Consumption, Suppliers, Working Place, Products & Services and Engagement. This includes focus on low emission paint, avoiding PVC, buying from local suppliers, installing sustainable lighting, environmentally friendly energy, using organic products and tips for reducing waste.

The online comprehensive spa management course offers students the chance to study anytime, from anywhere and with world-class experts in spa development. With a curriculum based in real-life case studies, created and taught by a team of industry pioneers and leading experts, the Spa Business Education programme is based on expertise cultivated from a wealth of industry experience.

The new sustainability chapters will join the existing 7 modules: Orientation to Spa Business Education, Marketing and Public Relations, Leadership and Strategic Planning, Finance, Human Resources, Operations & Service Quality Management Excellence and Business Plan.

Course mentor Nikos Kouremenos says “For 2022, we are placing a great focus on reviewing the Spa Business Education course material, identifying any missing areas which our students may need education on, and expanding and updating existing modules with new material. Sustainability has always been an important part of the spa industry, particularly as they are known to consume a lot of energy through the facilities and behind-the-scenes. Additionally, as the retail area has grown within spas, there is a question on the products and suppliers that are used to ensure these are as sustainable and eco-friendly as possible. There is always more to be done in the way of sustainability, which is why we’re delighted to have introduced these new chapters to the Spa Business Education course in order to educate our students and learn together.”
