GREENMark – Environmental Performance Recognition
Our GREENMark’s are micro award programmes. We have GREENMarks for small businesses and for project specific activities and will expand these over time.
Businesses can implement these as stand-alone programmes or on their own and use them to build skill and knowledge which can support an awards application. Additional GREENMarks will be developed over time as we identify the need.
The Business Environmental GREENMark is a micro environmental sustainability award for smaller businesses, anywhere in the world, that operate their business using the environmental sustainability standards set by the GREENMark. It is operated in conjunction with Green Hospitality and GreenTravel.ie and any Irish tourism or hospitality B2C business that achieves any GREENMark will be listed on our consumer website www.greentravel.ie Â
The programme is primarily aimed at micro and small businesses that spend less than €100,000 per annum combined on Energy, Water and Waste.  It can also act as an initial step for any size business that wishes to commence implementing sustainability within their business and easily leads into the Green Hospitality Awards.
The GREENMark – Mark of Good Practice is a more in-depth GREENMark that is designed for accommodation providers that wish to secure a “Sustainability” listing within online booking engines.
