SCP Corcovado Wilderness Lodge is committed to reducing its environmental footprint by conserving energy and resources through a variety of means, including eliminating single-use plastics and using renewable energy for 70% of their needs. Guests can enjoy guilt-free dining with the Lodge’s 'Zero Waste' restaurant concept, which ensures nothing organic goes unused. In addition, the Lodge partners with NGOs like Innoceana and Crowther Lab to boost conservation efforts with activities such as the One Trillion Trees Program, which is a global-scale study of ecosystems to comprehend the connections between biodiversity and climate change.

Beyond conservation efforts, the Lodge also promotes sustainable growth with a focus on community integration and development. Empowering local communities through initiatives that foster personal and professional advancement such as access to clean water in Drake Bay, the Lodge helps to improve health outcomes and quality of life for the area’s residents. Additionally, the Lodge supports Osa Sensorial—a project that enhances the lives of individuals with disabilities through therapeutic experiences.

At SCP Corcovado Wilderness Lodge, honoring local culture and knowledge is at the heart of its mission. Recognizing the limitations of its remote location, the Lodge pioneered a unique program to bridge the gap between guests and nearby communities. By inviting local residents, including schools, entrepreneurs, and artisans, to interact with guests, they facilitate cultural exchange and mutual learning. These carefully curated events ensure that both visitors and locals have the opportunity to share experiences and insights, fostering mutual respect and understanding.
