Sustainability 101
Build the common foundation needed to understand sustainability concepts, responsibilities and business relevance.
Core turns your sustainability starting point into an organized workspace, prioritized roadmap and practical foundation your team keeps using year after year.
Tool-led start with light shared support
Saves US$500 against paying monthly.
30-day guided activation included. Prices do not include taxes.
Same 12-month subscription. Monthly billing changes when you pay, never the length of the commitment.
01 — Who does what, and who Core fits
Core is the Green My Experience tool-led starting pathway with light shared guidance.
Green My Experience helps your organization establish the Baseline, activate the Platform, identify priorities and begin with a practical roadmap. Your team assigns the work, develops the documentation and keeps implementation moving.
02 — The first 30 days, and every year after
The activation happens one time and establishes the foundation. Everything after it runs on the same subscription, at the same price, for as long as your organization keeps it.
First 30 days
Identify current practices, available documentation, important gaps and initial priorities.
Set up the organization's working environment for actions, owners, deadlines, evidence and operational measurements.
Use the Scorecard and gap analysis to organize the first sequence of work.
Give 2 people access to Sustainability 101 and Sustainability for Tour Operators.
Use the assessment responses and selected baseline year to create an initial Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions estimate, report, roadmap and action plan.
Every year, from then on
The monthly clinics and quarterly sessions are shared learning opportunities. Topics serve the wider participant community and do not follow one organization's individual implementation timeline.
Your team remains responsible for assigning owners, completing actions, creating or updating documentation and deciding when it needs a more guided pathway.
03 — The tool
The Platform is the tool that turns the roadmap into a working management process.
Turn priorities into assigned work with responsible people, deadlines and visible status.
Connect policies, records and other relevant information with the work they support.
Keep relevant performance information alongside priorities, owners and improvement actions instead of treating data as a separate exercise.
Connect Academy participation and completion information with the people involved in implementation.
See what is moving, what remains incomplete and where the organization needs to focus next.
Explain organizational progress while distinguishing current information, documented work, Green My Experience recognition and independent certification.
04 — The learning
Core includes 2 Green My Experience Academy learning places for the participating organization.
Build the common foundation needed to understand sustainability concepts, responsibilities and business relevance.
Connect sustainability to the operating realities, decisions and relationships of a tour operator.
The same 2 people receive access to both included courses. Special pricing is available for additional Academy course licenses.
Explore the Green My Experience Academy05 — The measurement
Core includes an initial Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions estimate.
This is a basic initial estimate for internal understanding and planning. It is not a complete external-reporting-grade greenhouse-gas inventory and is not intended for external reporting.
06 — Everything included
07 — The starting point
Core includes the SustainAble Baseline or a Baseline refresh. The Baseline is never skipped because the roadmap needs an accurate organizational starting point.
If the same organization purchases Core within 90 days after completing its SustainAble Baseline, the amount actually paid for the Baseline can be credited toward Core.
If the prior Baseline is no longer current enough for activation, the included refresh establishes the appropriate starting point.
What the SustainAble Baseline includes09 — Year two, and every year after
The subscription continues at the same price and the work changes — built around your certification body’s audit anniversary rather than your start date.
Core continues at US$2,500 a year — the same price as year one — with surveillance readiness, evidence kept current, year-on-year emissions and reporting for buyers. The subscription carries a 12-month commitment.
Move into Cohort, when eligible and an intake is available, or discuss SustainAble Private for dedicated support.
The final Green My Experience readiness review is not included in Core. A separate review may be offered once its scope, eligibility and price are published, or it may be included through a guided pathway.

11 — Questions
Core is the Green My Experience tool-led starting pathway. It combines the Baseline, a 30-day activation, the Platform, foundational Academy learning, shared clinics, quarterly group sessions and an initial emissions estimate — on an annual subscription that continues at the same price. Your organization leads the ongoing implementation.
Yes. Core is US$2,500 a year paid up front, or US$250 a month — US$3,000 in total. Both are the same 12-month subscription: monthly billing changes when you pay, never the length of the commitment. Paying the year up front saves US$500.
The organization completes or refreshes the Baseline, activates its Platform workspace, confirms initial priorities, begins the included Academy learning and establishes the inputs for its initial emissions estimate. The detailed schedule and responsibilities are confirmed before purchase.
Yes. Core includes unlimited Green My Experience Platform users from the participating organization during the included access period.
2 people receive Sustainability 101 and Sustainability for Tour Operators. Special pricing is available for additional Academy course licenses.
No. The monthly clinics are open-theme sessions for the wider participant community. They can help teams learn and ask relevant questions, but they do not follow one organization's implementation schedule.
No. Core does not include private evidence-remediation cycles. Organizations that need individualized evidence review should compare Cohort and Private.
No. A mock audit is included in SustainAble Private. The final Green My Experience readiness review is included in Cohort and Private, but not in Core.
No. It is a basic initial estimate based on the organization's assessment responses, supplied information and selected baseline year. It supports internal understanding and planning and is not intended for external reporting.
Core establishes the system, learning and initial plan. The organization may use that foundation to continue implementing, but Core does not include the guided evidence process, mock audit or final readiness review of the more supported pathways. Operators seeking a complete guided route to certification readiness should compare Cohort and Private.
Yes. Both establish the same diagnostic foundation — the completed organizational assessment, the documentation-status view, initial priorities and the first implementation roadmap — so both can earn the Foundation Established progress recognition. Core adds Platform activation, Academy learning and light shared guidance. Recognition is based on completing the defined foundation requirements, not on purchasing the higher-priced pathway. Foundation Established is issued by Green My Experience: it is not independent GSTC certification and does not guarantee a future certification decision.
No. Green My Experience supports implementation and readiness. A GSTC-accredited certification body separately conducts the independent audit and makes the certification decision.
The subscription continues at US$2,500 a year — the same price as year one — and the work moves to the Stay Ready track. The organization can also upgrade to guided support, or stop, according to the published renewal, export and retention terms.
