Sustainability

Sustainability is the cornerstone of our ethos. We're proud to commit 5% of our profits to supporting the science and conservation work of Whaleology, ensuring the protection of these majestic creatures. We are committed to being climate positive, with certification through Ekos.

At ēkôsauna we fully offset our carbon footprint with native forest planting and operating as a zero-waste business, we're not just minimising harm but actively contributing to environmental restoration.

Our dedication extends to every detail, from using recycled waste as fuel for our saunas, ensuring low emissions and high efficiency, to employing only chemical-free products, prioritising the well-being of our customers and the planet alike.

Join us in our mission, one relaxing session at a time.
