As sustainability becomes a growing priority across the hospitality and property sectors, forward-thinking operators are redefining what it means to run environmentally responsible operations. At Opago, we believe that sustainability and operational excellence go hand-in-hand — especially in the fast-paced world of short-term rentals and serviced apartment operations.
From our electric vehicle fleet to digital-first workflows and global carbon offsetting partnerships, we're embedding sustainability into every layer of our business. Here’s how we’re doing it.
1. Electrifying Operations with a Greener Fleet
One of the biggest contributors to emissions in urban property operations is transport. That’s why Opago’s service fleet includes electric vehicles (EVs) as part of our long-term strategy to reduce our carbon footprint. These EVs power our day-to-day logistics — from linen deliveries to on-site housekeeping and maintenance — without adding to London’s emissions problem.
By making every journey more sustainable, we’re not only improving air quality but also future-proofing our logistics for an all-electric future. Our ambition? To transition 100% of vehicles associated with Opago to eco-friendly and electric models.
2. Partnering for Planet Impact: Ecologi & Opago
In 2023, we took our sustainability commitment global by partnering with Ecologi, a platform dedicated to climate action. Since then, we’ve made measurable impact:
- 1,700+ trees planted worldwide
- 100+ tonnes of CO₂e avoided since March 2023
- Projects supported in Uganda and Morocco, advancing clean energy and reforestation
This partnership allows us to offset emissions and support projects that align with our values — proving that operational scale doesn’t have to come at the planet’s expense.
3. Paperless, Tech-First Operations
Our tech-led service model not only improves efficiency, it also reduces waste. All bookings, workflows, and maintenance tasks are managed through the Opago app, eliminating the need for paperwork and manual scheduling.
Smart scheduling also cuts down on unnecessary travel — with services only carried out when they’re needed and appointments clustered efficiently. It’s one more way we’re reducing emissions across London while delivering a better experience for our clients.
Why Sustainability Matters in Short-Term Rentals
For vacation rental operators, co-living providers, and serviced apartment brands, sustainability is no longer a nice-to-have — it’s a competitive differentiator. Guests are increasingly choosing brands that reflect their values, and regulators are pushing for higher environmental standards.
At Opago, we help our partners stay ahead by embedding eco-conscious practices into the backbone of their operations. Whether you manage 10 or 1,000 units, you can count on us to deliver efficient, low-impact services that support your ESG goals.
Let’s Build a Greener Future Together
Looking to scale your operations without scaling your environmental footprint? Opago’s sustainable operational services — from housekeeping to guest support — are designed to help you deliver five-star stays with a lighter footprint.
