Sustainability Launchpad

A 30-day guided diagnostic for tour and shore-excursion operators. Know exactly where your operation stands against the GSTC standard — and walk away with a written roadmap. The first step into SustainAble — and the lowest-risk one.

Five deliverables. One verdict.

Everything below lands within 30 days — concrete artifacts you keep, not a workshop you sit through.

GSTC-based ESG Assessment + Report

Scored against all 65 GSTC criteria, with a heatmap by pillar. A written PDF — your operation’s full read-out.

Carbon Footprint Baseline

Scope 1 & 2 emissions, measured against your operation — not estimated from industry averages.

Mini Action Plan

A prioritized roadmap of quick wins, mid-term moves, and gap closures — written, scoped, and costed.

GME Platform · Launchpad access

Your assessment, baseline, and roadmap all live inside the platform — read-only mode for 30 + 30 days.

3 IACET-certified courses

A curated bundle: Sustainability 101, Path to Zero, and a tourism-specific foundations module.

20-min Expert Debrief

A recorded 1:1 walkthrough of your results from your sustainability lead — yours to keep and share. This is the verdict.

What you can do inside the platform — and what waits for the Cohort.

Honest about the lines. The Launchpad is a diagnostic snapshot; continuous tracking and the full toolset live in the Cohort.

Buy it Monday, know where you stand by month’s end.

Self-serve from the first click. No fit call, no scheduling — the only thing that paces it is you.

  1. 01

    Day 0

    Onboard

    Self-serve checkout, then immediate access. You answer a short operational intake — the inputs your assessment and baseline are built from.

  2. 02

    Across 30 days

    Diagnose

    We score your operation against the 65 GSTC criteria and measure your carbon baseline, while you work through the three IACET courses at your own pace.

    At the close

    Decide

    Your results land as a written report and a recorded 20-minute debrief. You walk away knowing exactly where you stand — and whether the Cohort is your next step.

Most operators are doing more than they think — and missing what matters.

Built for some operators. Honestly not for others.

We’d rather you land in the right place than buy the wrong step. The Launchpad is for:

  • Operators not sure where they stand — but curious
  • Teams testing commitment before joining the Cohort
  • A low-risk first step that still credits forward
  • Decision-makers who need data before they sign off

Already ready to certify? Skip to the Cohort.

Finish it, and all four are guaranteed.

The Launchpad’s four contractual outputs aren’t a wish list — they’re a commitment. Do your part and complete the program, and if even one of them doesn’t land, we make it right, at no extra cost.

The bridge to certification

Your $1,750 credits in full toward the $6,500 Cohort if you join within 30 days. The Launchpad is the on-ramp — you never pay twice for the same step.

What operators ask before they start.

The Launchpad-specific questions. Route-level questions live on the SustainAble page.

01Is the Launchpad a certification?

No. The Launchpad is a diagnostic — it tells you where your operation stands against the GSTC standard and gives you a roadmap. Certification is the destination of the Cohort (Tier 03), via a third-party audit.

02Do I need a sustainability team to start?

No — that’s the point. The Launchpad is built for operators that don’t have one yet. You bring operational knowledge of your business; we handle the framework, the scoring, and the plan.

03What if I join the Cohort afterward?

Your $1,750 credits in full toward the $6,500 Cohort if you join within 30 days of completing the Launchpad. You never pay twice for the same step.

04How is this delivered, and how long does it take?

It’s self-serve: you buy, onboard, and work through it over 30 days, with another 30 days of read-only platform access afterward. The expert debrief is a recorded video, not a scheduled live session — so nothing waits on a calendar.

05What’s NOT included?

The Launchpad is a one-shot diagnostic, not the full platform. Continuous ESG tracking (GME Monitor), the document vault, the full course catalog, mock audits, and certifying-body coordination all live in the Cohort. The comparison table above shows exactly what’s in and out.

Thirty days from now, you could be guessing — or you could know.
