Overview

Mission

A global network advancing sustainability across the spa and wellness industry.

What it reported doing in 2022

The Green Spa Network (GSN) is a nonprofit trade association that provides education, resources and gatherings for the spa and wellness industry. By creating a vital community and inspiring spa and wellness companies to take action, GSN is creating a more sustainable future with its members. GSN believes the spa and wellness industry has a unique opportunity to make a substantial positive impact by adapting practices that support the environmental and human resources necessary to provide its services, products, and experiences. Our work goes beyond the direct impact we can make as an industry we are also ambassadors for a vital planet and vital people to the millions of spa visitors we come into contact with every day.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 90% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
