Weeva
Weeva
About
Weeva is a digital sustainability data management platform. Built for tourism from the inside, Weeva is holistic and leverages easy-to-use technology to track and report on net environmental and social impact, in real-time.
Weeva was inspired by The Long Run's 4C framework: Conservation, Community, Culture and Commerce, which is an established foundation for balanced operational change. Within the 4Cs are Weeva’s parameters – 18 interconnected areas that need to be managed holistically for a business to be sustainable and resilient.
Weeva enables hotels, lodges, BnBs, and other hospitality providers to monitor, manage, and improve their business performance through a comprehensive suite of digital tools, educational guides, tasks and processes that the whole team can get involved in, from HR to housekeeping. Weeva was designed by business experts, sustainability scientists and specialist partners to put sustainability at your fingertips.
Weeva licences start from just $750 per annum for small properties – less than the cost of hiring a sustainability officer for one day. ATTA® members qualify for a discount off the annual cost of using Weeva.
A product demo and free 21-day trial are available on weeva.earth.

- Depending on where your company is located will determine which companies can / cannot support your business due to legal and insurance regulations.
