Arezza, which means the network in a southern Italian dialect, is exactly that - a growing network of sustainability-focused community businesses, both in the U.S. and abroad. Arezza supports these businesses by featuring them in its Sustainable EcoTours program, an educational experience for discovering the rich historic heritage and the sustainable practices of a community. Arezza offers EcoTours in Washington DC, New York, Philadelphia, and various small towns in Southern Italy.
Arezza develops sustainable communities in the United States and internationally. Being part of the B Corp family helps us promote our mission with a clearer and more precise message. We will use the standards set by B Corp to help individuals, businesses, nonprofits and local government entities with their sustainable development objectives.
Arezza's knowledge of these areas along with their expertise in putting together personalized travel programs for individuals, families and small groups ensures a rewarding experience which includes a mix of history, tradition, technological innovation, sustainable development, visits to historic venues and green contemporary buildings as well as meetings with environmental leaders and experts. Additional services include: air or rail transport in/out of the region, hotel, farmhouse or vacation rental accommodations, local transport, sightseeing and shopping, suggestions for your lunches and dinners, and arrangements for visits to other cities and regions.
The Change We Seek®
Arezza seeks to foster sustainable economic development in communities by leveraging local entrepreneurial skills and resources. This mission is now more attainable then ever with the inclusion of the principles that define Arezza and the broader community of B Corps.
