EXUMA, BAHAMAS - June 15, 2026 - Yntegra Group has selected XCO₂ as the strategic sustainability partner for Sampson Cay, its $200 million private island development in the Exumas, The Bahamas. The appointment brings internationally credentialed sustainability expertise into a development already structured around environmental accountability and responsible land use.
XCO₂ is an award-winning sustainability and climate advisory firm with direct experience across The Bahamas and the wider Caribbean region. The firm is recognized within the international sustainability and engineering community for its performance-driven approach to environmental design and climate-informed development, particularly in the hospitality and resort sector. XCO₂ has received repeated recognition as CIBSE Building Performance Consultancy of the Year, reflecting documented leadership in environmental performance, decarbonization strategy, and measurable sustainability outcomes across complex projects.
"Working with XCO₂ adds a globally respected layer of sustainability expertise to an already exceptional group of partners," said MacLean, CEO of Yntegra Group. "Their track record in environmental performance and climate-responsive design aligns with our ambition to set the highest standard for responsible development at Sampson Cay."
Environmental responsibility has been a foundational requirement for the Rosewood Sampson Cay development since the earliest planning stages. Yntegra Group structured the project with the objective of demonstrating that ultra-luxury hospitality can coexist with the preservation of sensitive island ecosystems rather than operate at their expense.
"Our ambition with Sampson Cay is to lead by example in responsible development," MacLean said. "By working with XCO₂, alongside our already strong environmental team, we are integrating sustainable best practices and emerging environmental technologies that respond to global standards while respecting the unique land, waters and habitats of the Exumas. We hope this project helps set the stage for how environmentally responsible development can be delivered in one of the most beautiful and sensitive regions of the world."
XCO₂ is engaged across sustainability strategy, environmental performance planning, and internationally recognized certification pathways, ensuring that environmental requirements are embedded from design through the operational phase. The scope includes energy efficiency, water stewardship, responsible material selection, habitat protection, and climate resilience - each measure tailored to the ecological conditions specific to the Exumas rather than drawn from a standard template.
"Development in a place like the Exumas carries a responsibility to be thoughtful, informed and forward-looking," MacLean said. "Our partnership with XCO₂ supports an approach where environmental preservation, responsible growth, and climate responsiveness are aligned from the very beginning."
Yntegra Group has committed to regular public updates on environmental milestones and sustainability progress for the Sampson Cay project as planning and construction advance.
