Escape to paradise. Guacimo Lodge in Nicaragua is a magical place, showcasing a unique celebration of Nicaraguan craftsmanship. In 2006, founders Maria and Manuel, a Spanish couple living in Nicaragua, were captivated by the scenic surroundings of the San Juan River and El Castillo. This love for the area inspired the creation of Guacimo Lodge, along with a small team dedicated to clear values and a shared mission.

Reasons we love Guacimo Lodge
- Guacimo Lodge offers dining by the river – a beautiful setting with freshly caught fish and locally sourced produce.
- It feels like a place of true Nicaraguan craftsmanship with handmade hammocks, rocking chairs, ceramics and more decorating the property.
- Conservation is at the heart of the lodge’s operation, running on 100% solar power.

Earth Day is an annual celebration that honors the achievements of the environmental movement and raises awareness of the need to protect Earth’s natural resources for future generations.⁠

For us, we are using Earth Day this year to celebrate the beauty of the natural world with some epic imagery from across the globe. It is these places that need preserving and protecting, it is this indescribable beauty that is at risk.⁠

The Art of Adventure ⁠

The Lofoten area is famous for its exceptional mountain peaks with a great number of natural pistes, offering many possibilities and options for a wide range of skiers. ⁠

Start at the summit of the mountains that envelope the Lofoten islands and ski to the shores of a snow covered beach. Many of the best pistes can only be accessed by boat, anchoring in a nearby bay, tendering to shore and then hiking the mountain to carve your paths in the snow.⁠

In the evening, if the weather is kind, head out to a little private island where the chef will serve dinner in a unique glass dome, where the sky and the stars create the backdrop.

The Art of the Wild. ⁠

Dian Fossey was the world’s leading authority on the elusive mountain gorilla until her assassination in 1985. ⁠

She earned a reputation as the most well-regarded primatologist of her time, spending many years chronicling the animals’ daily lives and forming great bonds with each of them. ⁠

Set between Mount Visoke and Mount Karisimbi in the hills of Rwanda, her former research base, Karisoke, is accessible via a three hour hike through the dense forests. ⁠

Visit the site where she was laid to rest alongside her favourite gorillas, spot the species in their natural habitat en route and get a deeply personal insight into the life Fossey dedicated herself to for many profound years. ⁠

This experience is an extraordinary step into the wild, get in touch to learn more.

We are B Corp, what is next?⁠

Whether the goal is to become carbon neutral or to reduce emissions year-on-year, one of the best ways to keep companies on track and motivated is to have a community of like-minded people. ⁠

One of our key targets this year is to establish our Net Zero strategy and develop a personalised plan to effectively eliminate our carbon emissions in the years to come. ⁠

In order for net zero to be effective, it must be permanent. ⁠

Therefore, it is crucial to follow science-based targets to identify and address key areas for decarbonisation in the pursuit of becoming a Net Zero Company. We recognise that this will be a journey and are committed to learning, growing and evolving. ⁠

Follow us now to stay up to date with the exciting developments to come.

As a B Corp, how do we ensure our partners align with our values?⁠

As world issues are ever-changing, it is up to each individual to keep moving better business forward and be accountable for real action. ⁠

That is why we have developed and implemented a Supplier Code of Conduct within our supply chain, outlining the ethical and operational standards expected from our suppliers in alignment with our values and principles. ⁠

In addition, we are currently building a bespoke Supplier ESG Questionnaire to distribute to each of our suppliers. ⁠

This will reinforce adherence to our code of conduct and enable us to collect more reliable social and environmental data within our supply chain. ⁠

This transparency is what is vital to understand where, and how, we can do better.⁠

It is these integral steps that we are committed to taking as a B Corp, and for
