3xP Global, through our Impact Innovation Fund, announces a new investment in ECO-ONE, a leading sustainability platform for the hospitality sector in Europe.
3xP Global Impact Innovation Fund will support ECO-ONE’s expansion into Portugal, helping roll out its innovative sustainability model across hotels and tourism operators. Building on its strong presence in Spain and France, this investment will accelerate its growth and strengthen its ability to deliver integrated sustainability solutions in the Portuguese tourism market.
Tourism is a vital economic engine, but it faces a critical challenge: reducing its environmental footprint without compromising operational success. ECO-ONE solves this by proving that sustainability is not an expense, but a competitive advantage. Their platform helps hotels reduce their carbon footprint while improving operational efficiency and generating cost savings.
ECO-ONE goal is to make sustainability accessible, efficient, and profitable for every hotel. "We invest in companies that provide tangible solutions to global challenges. ECO-ONE stands out because they combine environmental impact with measurable economic results. We are thrilled to support their growth as they bring their unique model to Portugal and wider Europe.” comments Rita Branco, Impact Partner at 3xP Global, on the alignment with the Impact Innovation Fund.
Unlike traditional consultancy, ECO-ONE offers a 360-degree digital platform that combines technology with impact. Their key pillars include:
- Circular economy: A second-hand furniture marketplace that helps to minimise waste and optimise resources.
- Sustainable Marketplace: A marketplace for hospitality amenities that connects hotels with verified sustainable suppliers.
- Digital Training: Educating staff to integrate sustainability into daily operations.
- Energy and efficiency: Providing water and energy efficiency solutions to help reduce costs and improve efficiency.
Carlos Fluixá, CEO & Co-Founder of ECO-ONE, highlights the strategic importance of this milestone. “The investment from 3xP Global marks a turning point for ECO-ONE. Their trust reinforces the strength of our model and enables us to accelerate our mission of transforming the hospitality sector through sustainability and circular economy.”.
With the support of 3xP Global, ECO-ONE is poised to set the standard for responsible tourism in the region. Join us on this journey as we work together to ensure that every hotel stay is a step towards a more sustainable future.
