The ‘Planet’ Category
The EXO Foundation’s 2025 Sustainability Awards celebrate organisations—both non-profits and tourism companies—that are pioneering scalable solutions to some of the most pressing challenges in travel destinations. Expert judges evaluate each applicant and prizes are awarded to recognise and support their efforts.
This year’s awards attracted more than 60 entrants across all categories. The Planet category specifically honours initiatives focused on conservation, climate action, and the regeneration of natural ecosystems. Winners exemplify how tourism can protect biodiversity, support circular economies, and actively restore the environments it depends on.
