Green Hospitality Awards

2024 NEWS:  The Green Hospitality Award has been independently reviewed and deemed compliant with Travalyst’s criteria.  The Green Hospitality Award will therefore be included in Travalyst’s list of compliant sustainability certifications for accommodation providers; an initiative aiming to support certifications like us, through the evolving legislative landscape whilst providing consistency across travel booking platforms.

Green Hospitality Awards – Our internationally recognised Third-Party Environmental Sustainability Certification Programme. It is compliant with Travalyst Criteria, aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s), is based on the  Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC)  and the EU Ecolabel Criteria, supports the Sustainable Hospitality Alliance (SHA) Pathway to Net Positive Hospitality, supports the WTTC Hotel Basics and provides world class benchmark tools based on the SHA Hotel Carbon, Water & Waste Measurement Methodologies

 

Hospitality businesses that wish to be recognised for their environmental  sustainability actions, who are required by clients to demonstrate these actions and who wish to gain competitive advantage by promoting these credentials, will aim to achieve certification
Cost saving accompanies environmental programme implementation.

Our Certification Programme is designed as a Step-by-Step approach allowing businesses implement the required criteria at their own pace. The Eco-Label Award is the foundation step and focuses on implementing a strong foundation – an environmental management system. The Silver and Gold Awards build on the Eco-Label Award criteria and the Platinum Award recognises consistent achievement in embedding environmental  sustainability within the business with strong quantifiable commitments focusing on minimising carbon emissions and best practice  environmental activities.
